Simon brought Marina and Jason to GrandVille Apartments, where Tina used to live.
This made Marina somehow relieved.
Maybe Oliver just asked them to come and sort out Tina's belongings.
Maybe she thought too much about this.
Marina and Jason had no courage to make a rash move. They decided to wait until Oliver came and asked them to sort out the things.
While they were waiting, they couldn't help feeling anxious.
It was mainly because they had no idea why Oliver asked them to come.
Marina was feeling uneasy and she stood up to look around.
As soon as she got up, she heard the servants talking outside. No doubt they must be greeting Oliver.
Marina sat back immediately.
It was indeed Oliver who walked inside.
Jason and Marina stood up at the same time and greeted him, "Mr. Williams."
Oliver motioned for them to have a seat.
Seeing this, Marina and Jason sat down.
"Was Roy all right?" Marina asked.
No matter what had happened, she was still Roy's grandmother. When Tina had just passed away, Marina knew that Roy was sick but she didn't ask about his situation in detail.
Now that she came to GrandVille Apartments in person, she had to express her concern for the situation of Roy.
Otherwise, Oliver might feel suspicious about her.
Oliver replied, "He's fine. I'm here to ask you something related to Roy."
Marina's heart thumped.
She knew that something was wrong.
Jason noticed that the expression on Marina's face changed and that she was about to lose control.
How could she resist Oliver's questioning?
Jason then held Marina up and said, "We also worry a lot about Roy's condition but we don't get the chance to ask because we were busy with other things. Marina had been sad after the death of Tina. She couldn't eat or sleep and kept crying. As a result, she is in poor health."
No matter what, Jason had to find an excuse for the reaction of Marina.
He tried to show Oliver that Marina was not frightened by his words.
Instead, she behaved differently because of the sadness of losing her own daughter and poor physical condition.
Oliver didn't care about what exactly had happened to Marina and Jason.
The reason why he called Marina and Jason to GrandVille Apartments was to help them recall something important.
When Tina was pregnant, Marina often came here to visit.
If Marina said she knew nothing about this, then it would not make sense.
"How much do you know about the umbilical cord blood that Tina stored?"
Oliver looked at Marina and asked.
Marina's heart fluttered with fear.
Since last time she said she knew nothing about this, then this time she had to talk in a consistent way.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Marina said, "Mr. Williams, I really don't know much about it. I thought that since Tina stayed in Williams Hospital, there was no need for me to worry. Tina also said everything was fine."
Jason noticed that Marina was not completely frightened by Oliver's imposing manner and could answer his questions with a clear logic.
Jason heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought that Oliver would be convinced.
After hearing what Marina said, Oliver sneered.
Noticing the sneer of Oliver, Marina and Jason, who had just relaxed a bit, started to feel nervous again.
