Chapter 6
“Well…” The sales clerk felt she had a headache.
She took a look at Sophia and then continued to explain to Gordan, “Well… Mrs. Campbell just
checked that set of bedding back then. She didn’t pay a deposit in advance, so strictly speaking, this
wasn’t… a
reservation.”
“Although I didn’t pay the deposit, I asked you to reserve it for me,” Sophia parted her lips and said.
The sales clerk continued to say, “We usually don’t reserve for customers if we don’t get the deposit
from customers in advance.”
“Gordon…” Sophia looked at Gordon immediately after hearing what the sales clerk had said. And she
tugged Gordon’s sleeve as she pouted. “I really like that bedding set.”
“Contact that customer and tell him that I can compensate him double the price as long as he is willing
to give us the bedding set,” Gordon said to the sales clerk in a deep voice.
“Hmmm…” The sales clerk’s face showed a hint of hesitation.
“You don’t need to make things difficult for her. I’m not willing to give back the bedding set!” And just
then, a somewhat lazy but firm voice suddenly sounded.
When Sophia heard this voice, her body couldn’t help but stiffen.
When she raised her head and looked over, it was as if she had seen something terrible. She was
scared and took several steps backward in quick succession.
“Carol?” Gordon was also stunned. He looked at the woman before him and shouted with some
uncertainty.
Carol?
Hearing this name, Marina couldn’t help but bow her head and smile.
But that smile only showed on the corner of her mouth.
She really hated that name!
But Gordon was shocked by that smile.
He had never seen such a smile on Caroline’s face before.
Before, she was a gentle girl. And she did everything carefully in front of him.
But now she was smiling recklessly with confidence.
She looked like the charming Siren now.
Every move she made had a seductive and attractive charm.
“You’re not Caroline. Caroline is already…” Sophia regained a little consciousness at this moment. She
did not want to believe that Caroline was still alive in the world and subconsciously wanted to say that
Caroline was already dead.
But remembering Gordon standing beside her, she immediately swallowed the words on her lips.
“Yes, I’m Caroline. And I’m back to ask for your life!” Marina deliberately lowered her voice and stared
at Sophia with a burning gaze.
Sophia’s heart jolted, and she felt weakness in her legs.
Fortunately, Gordon next to her held her up.
Gordon then turned sideways and blocked in front of her.
He frowned at Caroline and said, “Sophie is timid. Don’t scare her.”
When Sophia heard this, she grasped Gordon’s arm tightly as if Gordon was her support.
“Is she timid? Do timid people hire murderers to kill?” Marina snorted quietly.
When Sophia heard what Marina said, she tightened her grab on Gordon’s arm again.
“What nonsense are you talking about? How could Sophie possibly do such a thing?” Gordon retorted
without even thinking. He did not believe Sophia would do that at all.
“That’s because you are blind.” Marina was already a little distracted by the headache.
Now that she had seen the people she hated the most, she did not temper herself in the least.
“You…” Gordon’s face was gloomy.
It seemed that he felt strange about Marina’s attitude.
Marina was clearly very obedient to him before.
But now she dared to speak to him in such a tone!
“You’re the one who insisted on leaving without taking anything in the first place, so don’t take it out on
Sophie now!” Gordon frowned and looked at Marina..
His words made Marina roll her eyes.
“You don’t think I’m being jealous because of you, do you?” Marina understood his meaning.
Gordon pursed his lips and didn’t respond.
But his expression already showed his answer.
Marina suddenly burst into laughter.
“Perhaps I shouldn’t say you’re blind. Because, during my memory loss period, I might be even more
blind. than you are,” Marina said.
She didn’t understand why she had been aggrieving herself for such a person for so many years back
then.
“Give Sophie back the set of bedding she likes. And if you want compensation, the request I promised
you that year still stands.” Gordon ignored Marina’s words.
He felt that the words Marina had said just now were all because she was jealous of Sophia, so he
didn’t even
take Marina’s words to his heart at all.
As always, he spoke to Marina in a commanding tone.
During the three years Marina lost her memory, this was how they got along with each other.
Gordon was like a high and mighty lord.
On the other hand, Marina was just a handmaiden he had picked up in passing.
But she was not Caroline anymore!
“You’d better save that money to treat your blind eyes,” Marina told Gordon. After that, she looked
coldly at Sophia while turning around to leave.
She was afraid that if she stayed a while longer, she would not be able to control herself to kill Sophia
there directly.
However, as Marina passed Gordon’s side, Gordon suddenly clasped her wrist.
He frowned and scolded, “Stop making trouble!”
“Let go!” Marina glanced at Gordon’s hand on her wrist angrily.
She couldn’t resist the urge to cut it off.
“You don’t even want money. Are you out of your mind?” Gordon directly ignored the disgust in
Marina’s
eyes.
Marina’s head hurt even more, and her face turned even colder.
She thought in her heart that she would better cut that hand off!
“What are you doing?” Then just at that time, a harsh voice suddenly came over.
It was Peter.
Seeing someone grabbing Marina, he quickly stepped forward and took her to his side.
“Don’t you want your hand anymore?” Peter stared at Gordon in front of him with a solemn look.
How dare he touch his cousin?
“Peter?” Gordon recognized Peter, and his eyes flashed a hint of surprise. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
He wondered how Peter got together with Caroline.
Moreover, from Peter’s attitude, Gordon could tell that Peter seemed to have an unusual relationship
with
Caroline.
“You know me?” Gordon knew Peter, but Peter didn’t know him..
Peter usually liked to hang out and was also known as a dandy in Solemwood.
Gordon kept a clean life and never attended the boring parties Peter liked to attend.
Therefore, although both were the upstarts of Solemwood, they had not met in private.
Gordon knew Peter from a distance at a friend’s party.
“Since you know me, how dare you touch my people? Do you want to seek death?” Peter said angrily
with his eyebrows raised.
“Your people?” When Gordon heard this, a dark light darted across the bottom of his eyes.
He also took a look at Marina, who was behind Peter.
However, Marina didn’t notice that Gordon was looking at her. She took out a disinfecting wet wipe and
carefully wiped her wrist that Gordon had just touched.
Gordon’s face turned livid with rage as he watched Marina’s behavior.
Did she… treat him like a virus?
“Mr. Moore, it’s just a misunderstanding. We didn’t know Caroline was your woman,” Sophia said those
words in a hurry because she was afraid that Gordon and Peter would get into a conflict.
Caroline?
Peter looked back at Marina when he heard this name.
“I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding. It’s them who made me unhappy.” Marina did not intend to
let it go just like this. She was not so good–natured now.
“You even made her unhappy?” Peter couldn’t hold back his anger when he heard this.
Marina was the princess that everyone in her family held in their hearts.
Nobody dared to make her unhappy.
”
But these two blind people dared to make her unhappy!
