Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 299

“So, you’re happy now?” A smile appeared on Simon’s face when he saw Marina cheer up.

“I feel a little better.” Marina made a gesture as she spoke.

Simon took the opportunity to hold her hand.

“I’m telling you this because I want you to know that Yenny always tries to take away what I have.

“It’s not that I don’t think you can deal with him. It’s just that this matter was started by me.

“I’m well aware of how vile and despicable he could be.

“I don’t want you to engage with him too much because it might put you in danger again.”

Simon finally voiced his thoughts.

Hearing his explanation, Marina found her anger was all gone.

She took Simon’s hand as well.

“I understand your concern, but you should know me well after spending so much time with me.

“I’m not a vine that has to cling to a tree to survive.

“As far as I’m concerned, in an ideal relationship, one party should not be attached to the other party.

“I want to be as powerful as my beloved man. If you were a big tree, then I would be the big tree beside you.

“I can promise you that I won’t act rashly, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you won’t hide it from me and keep me out of the loop even if you’re doing this for my own good.”

Marina looked determined when she said this.

Simon froze for a moment before he said with a smile, “Got it.”

“Then I’ll forgive you for what you just said.” Marina snorted after getting an affirmative answer from Simon.

“Oh, honey, thank you for being so generous.” Simon flattered her with a smile.

“What are you talking about? We’re not married yet.” Marina shot him a glare and got out of the car.

Simon smiled dotingly and followed her out.

The two of them then entered the villa hand in hand.

Not wanting something unexpected to happen, Jeffery prepared the wedding in a hurry.

Everything was done in less than 10 days.

Chrislyn didn’t have many close friends, so she only invited Marina as her bridesmaid.

But to make the wedding livelier, Marina asked Jessica to come to help.

Jeffery got himself two groomsmen, so they had two bridesmaids and two groomsmen.

On the day of the wedding, Marina and Jessica arrived at the hotel early in the morning.

They helped the stylist with Chrislyn’s makeup.

Marina looked at Chrislyn through the mirror with an inexplicable look in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Chrislyn noticed something was not right and quickly looked up.

“Nothing. You look especially beautiful today.” Marina quickly put away the emotions in her eyes.

“You’ll definitely look better than me when you get married. But I can’t be your bridesmaid when the time comes. What a pity!” Married women couldn’t be other people’s bridesmaids.

“Just ignore the customs. If you want to, you can appear as my bridesmaid at my wedding.” Marina did not care about those so–called taboos at all.

“Really?” Chrislyn’s eyes lit up.

“Sure!”

However, Marina’s answer didn’t keep the smile on Chrislyn’s face for a long time.

“Although you don’t care, this is the rule that everyone has to obey.

“You’re my best friend. I don’t want anything to go wrong at your wedding.

“Although I can’t be your bridesmaid, I will give you my blessings off stage.” Chrislyn seemed to have seen Marina standing on the stage at her wedding.

The smile on her face grew even brighter.

Marina’s heart skipped a beat at her words.

She immediately lowered her eyes and tidied up Chrislyn’s veil.

Only then did she find that Chrislyn was only wearing one earring.

“Is there another earring?” Marina immediately asked.

“Huh? Is it missing? I didn’t notice it.” Chrislyn took a quick glance at herself in the mirror.

Sure enough, she was indeed only wearing one earring.

Hearing that, Jessica immediately walked over to help them look for the earring.

However, the three of them couldn’t find it after searching for a long time.

“Could it be that the stylist took it away?” Chrislyn suddenly said.

“Maybe. I’ll go look for it right now,” Jessica said and was about to leave.

“Hurry up. It’s almost time for the bride to enter the hall,” Marina said after checking the time.

“Alright.” Jessica nodded and quickly walked out of the room.

Now, only Marina and Chrislyn were left in the lounge.

In the front hall, the guests were toasting each other.

Jeffery who was wearing a tailored suit was greeting the guests in the banquet hall.

Some young ladies became envious of the bride.

“I wonder which girl is so lucky to be able to marry Jeffery.”

Lucky? I don’t think so. It hasn’t been less 10 days since the announcement of the wedding. Even a couple from ordinary families won’t hold their weddings in such a hurry. I think there must be something going on.”

The girl’s words instantly attracted the attention of the others. “Do you know something?”

“Don’t look at me like that. I know nothing,” the girl denied it, trying to avoid other people’s eyes.

“Come on, tell us. We won’t tell anyone else.” Needless to say, those gossipy girls wouldn’t let go such a good opportunity.

The girl who knew some inside information was aware that there was no way she could get rid of them, so she simply told them everything she knew.

“Well, I heard that the bride was an orphan who was adopted by the Garcia family.

“The Garcia family didn’t agree to their marriage, but Jeffery threatened that he would kill himself if they didn’t agree. In addition, the girl was already pregnant. So they had no choice but to give in.

“The Garcia family are unhappy with it. That’s why the wedding was held in such a hurry.

They are probably trying to teach the bride some manners. I heard that Alfredo wanted Miss Bailey to be his granddaughter–in–law.”

“What? Miss Bailey? I’ve heard of her but never seen her at any parties, someone said and shifted her attention from the bride to Miss Bailey.

“That’s right. The Bailey family has been protecting her so well that no outsiders have ever seen her. The Bailey family and the Garcia family have known each other for generations and they are both the most influential families in the city. It would be perfect if they could be in–laws. No one expected such a thing to happen.”

The girl continued as if she knew a lot about the inside story. “It’s said Miss Bailey is crying at home every day because of

“That’s why no one from the Bailey family came to the party today.”
