Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 60

“What? You can’t even promise me this little thing?” Earl’s tone was tinged with a hint of coldness as he

looked at Gordon, who had been absent–minded the whole time.

“No!” Gordon immediately came back to his senses and looked at Earl with a face full of assurance.

“Grandpa, don’t worry, I will work hard in the future!”

“That’s good.” Earl nodded. “I’ll talk to your parents about it, you just wait for the wedding.”

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Gordon said in a low voice.

“I’m a bit tired, you all can go back.” Earl’s voice sounded a bit tired.

“Yes.” Seeing this, Gordon didn’t ask any more questions and pushed Earl back to the bedroom.

However, when he came out again, his expression became complicated.

After all, the Campbell family had always disapproved of him being with Sophia.

Although his grandfather wasn’t as opposed as his parents, he could tell that his grandfather was also

not satisfied with Sophia.

He might have liked Marina a bit more back then.

So why did he suddenly agree to let him marry Sophia?

After all, when he was engaged to Sophia before, no one from the Campbell family attended.

His parents even said that even if he really married Sophia, they would not attend.

His grandfather had always been in a state of letting things develop as they may.

Did something happen?

Was it related to that man?

Thinking of the ring on that man’s hand, a hint of dark light appeared

in Gordon’s eyes.

Who exactly was that person?

Meanwhile, when Simon returned from the Campbell family, he found that Marina had already left.

However, the dining table had been cleaned up,

Simon searched the entire suite but could not find any trace of Marina,

As expected, that heartless little girl hugged and ate and then left without a care.

However, Simon didn’t go after her. Instead, he sat on the sofa next to him, studying the golden ring in

his hand.

About 30 years ago, a globally renowned mogul suddenly passed away,

All the assets under his name were hidden in a very mysterious place,

Whoever could find this treasure would have wealth that could rival a

country.

They would also inherit all of the power the mogul had created during his lifetime.

That mysterious power once shook the world, terrifying people from all walks of life.

However, after the mogul’s mysterious death, that power disappeared.

Nevertheless, the legend they left behind has continued to circulate.

Whether it was the wealth that could rival a country or this mysterious force that could shake the world,

it was enough to make people from all walks of life willing to go to any lengths to pursue them.

It’s just that nobody knows whether the mogul was a playful person or a meticulous one.

He divided the treasure map into five pieces, and only when these crucial pieces were brought together

could the secret of the treasure map be unlocked.

Once this news was released, it caused a worldwide treasure hunt frenzy.

During this process, some unscrupulous businessmen appeared.

Back then, Earl accidentally obtained one of the five clues, the golden ring in Simon’s hand.

It was because of this that Earl moved his entire family to the remote town of Solemwood, hiding in

anonymity.

It was only when Simon came looking for him that everything was revealed.

Simon stared deeply at the golden ring in his hand. Was it really true that only by gathering all five key

items could the mystery be solved?

After a moment, Simon put the golden ring back.

Marina had already returned to the villa by this time.

As soon as she got out of the car, Oscar and Lee came out and greeted her immediately.

There were security systems installed around the villa and they had already seen Marina’s figure on the

surveillance camera.

“Miss Bailey!” Oscar and Lee greeted respectfully.

“Yeah.” Marina, having slept and eaten well, was in a rare good mood.

However, when she walked into the living room and saw Peter’s haggard face, looking like a wandering

soul, she couldn’t help but be startled.

“What’s wrong with him?” Marina frowned.

“Miss Bailey, Mr. Moore has been worried about you since you left alone that day. He has been looking

for you day and night.” Oscar explained.

Marina paused for a moment.

“I won’t get lost.” Marina shook her head and sighed, then gently patted Peter’s shoulder as she walked

forward.

Peter, looking like a wandering soul, slowly turned his head and blinked in confusion when he saw

Marina standing behind him. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

As soon as he confirmed that the person in front of him was Marina,

his pupils instantly dilated.

“Marina? Is it really you, Marina?”

“It’s me.” Marina nodded, then pushed Peter away a bit with her hand. “How long has it been since you

took a shower? Why do you smell so bad?”

“Am I smelly? I just haven’t showered since last night.” Peter lowered his head and sniffed.

“You better go take a shower and don’t stink up the room,” Marina said as she lay down on the sofa

behind her.

Her long legs were slightly raised, and she was humming an unknown tune, casually playing with her

phone.

Peter, who was about to go upstairs and take a shower, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Then he turned around and stared at Marina with piercing eyes.

Wait, Marina didn’t wear this outfit when she left!

And what was with this radiant look?

Why does she seem like a little Siren who just sucked up some essence?!

“Ah!” Peter suddenly screamed.

Marina was startled that her phone trembled in her hand.

“What the hell are you doing? Did you get possessed by the Screaming Chicken again?” Marina turned

her head and glared at him in

annoyance.

“Marina, tell me honestly, did you… get it on with that pig outside?!” Peter asked with difficulty.

“What?” Marina’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

“That must be it! That must be it!”

“That shameless pig actually defiled our little princess. I’m going to skin him alive! Roast his pig heart!

Stir–fry his pig liver!” Peter was

furious.

Marina didn’t know what to say.

“Please call the psychiatric hospital and ask them to pick this guy up quickly.” Marina looked up and

said to Oscar & Lee beside her.

“Alright, Miss Bailey!” Oscar immediately took out his phone and prepared to make a call.

“Marina!” Suddenly, Peter rushed forward, slid to the ground, and hugged Marina’s thigh.

“Marina, it’s all my fault. I didn’t protect you well, and let that thief outside defile you. I deserve to die!”

Peter wept bitterly.

Defile?

When Marina heard this word, her forehead couldn’t help but twitch.

Then she kicked Peter 30 feet away!
