Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 325

Mr. Fermon’s original plan was to die together with Yenny. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

After they died, the Pembroke family would definitely be in chaos.

Hence, he entrusted the Pembroke family to Marina and Simon.

It was because he believed the Pembroke family would not descend into chaos with Marina and Simon around.

He wanted them to preserve the Pembroke family, as it was a legacy passed down through generations.

Mr. Fermon didn’t want it to be destroyed just like that.

He intended to seek retribution from Yenny for the sins he had committed.

As for the rest, he hoped Marina and Simon would set aside their grievances.

As a gesture of goodwill, he relinquished one–fifth of the shares of the Pembroke Group to them.

Those shares were enough to sustain them for several lifetimes..

Marina agreed to Mr. Fermon’s request, allowing him to personally deal with Yenny.

After all, she only wanted Yenny to die.

As for who killed him, it was not that important to her.

However, they still underestimated Yenny.

In this dire situation, he managed to counterattack and escape.

“Don’t worry, the knife was coated with poison. Even if he manages to escape, he won’t live for long,” Simon reassured Marina with a calm expression.

Mr. Fermon was determined to eliminate Yenny this time.

Therefore, he must have considered every detail.

“Okay.” Marina nodded.

With just a phone call, she instructed Oscar and the others to investigate Yenny’s whereabouts.

She and Simon had to take care of Mr. Fermon properly.

Mr. Fermon chose this cemetery to meet Yenny because his parents were buried there.

His original plan was for him and Yenny to end their lives together.

He wanted Marina to bury them beside his parents‘ graves.

However, the two prepared graves now had only one filled.

“Don’t worry, I will fulfill the promise I made to you!” Marina looked at the names on the tombstone, her voice resolute.

Over the next two days, Marina tirelessly pursued the whereabouts of Yenny.

However, they had no clue about his whereabouts.

It was possible that he had hidden himself somewhere or accidentally succumbed to the poison in some remote corner.

They couldn’t find any leads on their side.

Meanwhile, Marina still had a vague feeling of unease in her heart.

“Don’t worry. I’ve also sent people out to search for him. We should be able to get some news soon,” Simon comforted.

“I hope so,” Marina replied, her brows still furrowed tightly.

She couldn’t rest easy until she saw Yenny’s lifeless body.

And as it turned out, Marina’s intuition was not wrong.

On the third day, as expected, something happened.

When Marina received a call from Peter, she was leaning against Simon’s shoulder, playing with her tablet.

However, Peter’s words made her immediately throw down her phone.

Because Peter said, “Jessica is missing!

“What are you talking about? How could she suddenly go missing? Wasn’t she with you all along?” Marina’s tone changed instantly upon hearing this.

“I… She was with me, but she recently took on a new film project, so she’s been busy running between the production company and the set.

“I can’t keep her by my side all the time.

“She was supposed to go to the set today for some work, and when I called her at noon, she didn’t pick up,” Peter said worriedly.

“If she didn’t answer your call at noon, why did you wait until now to notify me?” Marina was furious.

“At that time, I thought she was busy, so I didn’t think much of it. But I couldn’t reach her afterward, so I contacted the people at the set.

“They told me she had already left, and that’s when I realized something was wrong.

“However, I’ve searched a lot of places, but I couldn’t find her. I had no choice but to inform you,” Peter’s voice was filled with panic.

“You!” Marina was really angry, but she also knew it was not the time to scold Peter.

Marina took a deep breath and made an effort to suppress her emotions.

She said, “Where are you now? I’ll come to find you!”

“I’m at the office,” replied Peter firmly..

After hanging up the phone, Marina immediately went to Peter’s company with Simon.

When they got out of the car, they saw Peter waiting for them at the entrance.

His face looked weary, and even his hair was slightly disheveled.

It was obvious that he was also very nervous.

However, Matina didn’t think much of it at that moment.

She simply assumed that Peter was afraid of her holding him accountable for the situation.

“Is there any news now?” Marina went up and didn’t say anything else. She went straight to the point.

“Not yet.” Peter shook his head.

Marina’s frown deepened.

Let’s go to your office first.”

“Okay.” Peter immediately brought Marina and Simon to his office.

Once inside, Marina sat directly in front of Peter’s computer.

With a few quick moves, she bypassed his password.

“You previously told me that Jessica went to the production team. Where is the production team?” Marina asked.

Peter immediately gave her an address.

Marina swiftly found several routes on the map based on the address provided by Peter.

“Do you know which route Jessica usually takes?” Marina asked.

“It seems like she always takes the South City Highway, but she didn’t mention it to me today, and I forgot to ask,” Peter expressed deep regret.

He should not have let Jessica go out alone.

No matter how busy he was, he should have sent her along!

“We’ll start by investigating this route,” Marina said as she hacked into the surveillance footage of that particular route.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of Jessica on that route.

They had to move on to investigate the other routes.

Finally, they found Jessica’s figure in the footage from a camera at an intersection.

It appeared that she had a collision with another vehicle, so she got out of her car.

However, after she got out of the car, the camera lost sight of her.

She never returned to the scene.

“That person must have done it intentionally. Is Jessica kidnapped?” Peter asked worriedly.

Marina replied, “The timestamp on the footage shows it was around 11 am, and it’s already 5 pm now.

“In most cases, if it’s a kidnapping, the kidnappers usually make a ransom call within two hours.

“But we haven’t received any calls so far..

“So…” Marina paused for a moment as if she had realized something.

Her expression suddenly changed.

“So what?” Peter immediately asked.

“For now, don’t worry about this matter. I will bring Jessica back,” Marina said firmly as she stood up and left.
