Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 298

“You don’t need to be so worried. He won’t dare to do anything to me anyway.” Marina Bailey did not expect Simon Hernandez to rush over specially for her.

“Whether he dares not do anything or is not thinking of doing anything are two different issues. In any case, if you encounter him again in the future, you have to tell me immediately,” Simon said firmly.

“Are you that afraid of Yenny Pembroke? So you are really afraid that he’ll snatch me away?” Marina said half–jokingly.

However, Simon only looked at her extremely gravely.

Although he didn’t say anything, his gaze said it all.

“Are you serious? Are you really afraid of him? Do you not trust yourself or me?” Marina felt a little insulted.

“I didn’t mean that. Upon hearing Marina’s words, Simon explained softly.

Then what is it?” Marina asked.

Simon fell silent again.

Chrislyn Neil, who was nearby, was very perceptive and quickly said. “Er… Marina, since Mr. Hernandez is here, let him send you back. I’ll take a taxi back myself.”

“That won’t do!” However, Marina rejected her suggestion without a second thought.

In the current situation, she could never let Chrislyn go back alone.

“I’ll get Gavin to send her back,” Simon saw through Marina’s thoughts and said straightaway.

Marina still wanted to say something, but Chrislyn spoke first, “Then I’ll have to trouble Gavin.”

Following that, without giving Marina a chance to stop her, Chrislyn turned around and left with Gavin Johnson.

Marina, who was left behind, was at a loss for words.

This was because Chrislyn had lived in a particularly chaotic environment from a young age.

Neither of her parents liked her.

If Chrislyn wanted to live a better life, she had to learn to read her parents‘ moods.

Later on, she moved into the Garcia family’s place.

However, she was not really a member of the Garcia family. To put it bluntly, Chrislyn felt a bit like she was freeloading off them.

Hence, she was particularly good at reading people’s moods.

Some people even said that Chrislyn was gifted in this aspect.

However, only Marina knew that this was not a gifted talent at all. It was just a habit that Chrislyn had no choice but to nurture to protect herself.

Chrislyn just didn’t want to… cause trouble for others.

More than that, she did not want… to be disliked and abandoned again.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”

Simon watched Chrislyn and Gavin leave before going up to hold Marina’s hand and lead her toward his car.

After getting into the car, neither of them spoke again.

This lasted until the car came to a stop at the entrance of Simon’s villa.

However, Simon was not in a hurry to get out of the car. He simply sat quietly in the driver’s seat.

Marina was in no rush either. She just sat quietly next to him.

After a while, Simon let go of the steering wheel.

“I have probably told you before. My parents died a long time ago.”

“Mm–hmm,” Marina murmured a reply.

“After my parents passed away, Yenny Pembroke and Ruth Hernandez wanted to take the opportunity to seize control of the Hernandez family’s business.

“In the end, my two elder brothers and a few of my uncles joined hands and spent a lot of effort to save the corporation.

“By doing what he did, Yenny Pembroke was just sugar–coating the surface to make it look more presentable. But in reality, he would have held our lifeline hostage.

“When I was young, my two elder brothers were always very busy. Generally speaking. I didn’t get to see them much.

“On the other hand, Yenny Pembroke kept coming to look for me.

“Although I was young at that time, I could tell the good guys from the bad.

“That fellow Yenny Pembroke had always been very despicable.

“I remember when I was a kid, my second brother Edward gave me a talking parrot for my birthday.

“I absolutely adored it at the time. I even taught it to speak some phrases.

“But once, when I was training the parrot, Yenny Pembroke happened to see it.

“He also showed a strong interest in the parrot. He even wanted to buy it.

“I naturally rejected him. After all, at that time, I had already developed a very deep emotional bond with the parrot.

“However, later on, he used some unknown method to force Edward to personally come over and take back that parrot from

1. me.

“When I saw that parrot again, it had already become Yenny Pembroke’s pet.

*He made the most luxurious cage for it and chained it inside.

“The more I cared about that parrot, the more he would like it.

“Later on, when I discovered his habit, I never mentioned the parrot again. I even bought a new pet, which was a turtle.

“Thereafter, when Yenny Pembroke appeared, he never brought that parrot out again.

“Initially, I wanted to find an opportunity to secretly take the parrot back from him, but later, I found out that after the parrot went to Yenny, it actually didn’t eat or drink.

“Yenny Pembroke wasn’t a patient person to begin with. He lost interest after two to three days and casually threw the bird to

His servants.

“How can the people around Yenny Pembroke possibly be of good character? They just casually fed the parrot some food.

“When it didn’t eat, those people didn’t care either. Eventually… it starved to death.

Those people didn’t even bury the bird’s corpse. Instead, they tossed it out for Yenny’s German shepherd dog to eat.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

When Marina heard this, a hint of anger appeared in her eyes at once.

This fellow is really rotten from his hair right down to his toenails.

“If I had known this, you shouldn’t have stopped me just now. You should have let me teach him a good lesson!” Marina was regretting it a little now when she recalled the incident.

“There’s no need to be so angry. I’ve already avenged myself.” Simon suddenly laughed.

“How did you take revenge?” Marina became interested instantly.

“Didn’t I just tell you that I began keeping a turtle after that?” Simon said.

“Mm–hmm. And then?” Marina asked eagerly.

“Actually, that was not an ordinary turtle. It was an alligator snapping turtle.

“Every time I fed it. I would show it a photo of Yenny Pembroke and then snatch its food away.

“I trained it like this for more than a month. Then, I spread the news that I had a new pet.

“Sure enough, Yenny Pembroke did the same thing again and found a reason to ask for the alligator snapping turtle.

“And then? And then?” Marina could not help feeling somewhat excited at this point.

“Then… the day after he snatched the alligator snapping turtle away, he was hospitalized. I heard that when he was feeding. the alligator snapping turtle, it bit off his finger.

“Although his finger was reattached later, if you look closely, you can see that his finger is still a little inflexible.” There was at hint of a smile in Simon’s eyes.

“Hahaha! He deserved it. Why did the turtle only bite off one finger? It should have bitten off his entire hand!” Marina was very gleeful when she heard that, feeling that it really gave vent to her indignation.
