Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230 

“Come on. You’re acting like Jessica is your sister,” Peter retorted, shocked by Marina’s words. 

i hope that is true.” Marina said, rolling her eyes at Peter before issuing a solemn warning. 

“Don’t you dare treat Jessica the way you treat other girls, and don’t even think about bullying her,” 

ina warned sternly 

“Otherwise Marina’s unfinished sentence hung in the air, but the weight of her words was palpable, leaving Peter feeling the unmistakable pressure 

“Marina, didn’t you mention that you’re here to see Mr. Moore? What brings you here?” Jessica swiftly intervened, breaking the tense atmosphere. 

“Here,” Marina responded, her focus redirected by Jessica’s words. She swiftly tossed the script she held into Peter’s direction. 

Peter took it in a flurry. “What is this?” 

“Didn’t you cry and beg me to write a script specifically for your little girlfriend last year?” Marina remarked casually. “Well, I’ve already finished it,” she added with a nonchalant tone. 

As soon as Marina finished speaking, Peter’s gaze immediately shifted to Jessica. 

However, Jessica’s expression remained largely unchanged. 

Did she not understand? 

“It was for the girl you were so infatuated with before. Where is she now? I haven’t seen much of her lately. You must have had several girlfriends after her,” Marina remarked with a hint of contempt 

Their entire family was devoted. 

Even Peter’s parents were models of modern love. 

But Peter was a playboy. 

Peter’s aunt had punished him severely due to that. 

“Alright, alright, stop talking” Peter quickly interrupted Marina. 

If this continued, Jessica would probably not let him sleep with her tonight 

“Why? You have the audacity to do it, but you don’t have the courage to let me speak about it? Then return it to me!” Marina raised her eyebrows. 

“Not happening it’s mine now. Why should I return it to you?” Peter refused without a moment’s hesitation. 

It was Marma’s script 

Back then, his mother set up a management company on a whim. 

Coincidentally, they had signed a student who had just graduated from the film academy 

At that time, Marina had nothing to do, so she created a script for that student. 

Who knew that in the end, this small budget film would win the most important film award back then? 

This script, in turn, became the most prized treasure of its time 

This very foundation laid the groundwork for his mother’s gradual transformation of the management company into the thriving film company it is today. 

Now, it was in his hand.

Chapter 230 

However, once Marina completed that script, she seemed to become exceptionally indolent. 

Afterward, she would only complete one script every few years, 

So far, she had only three scripts. 

However, without exception, all three scripts won major awards. 

It was precisely due to this reason that Peter held this script in high regard. 

His performance this year hinged on the success of this script 

Therefore, returning it was out of the question, 

“But haven’t you already broken up with that actress? So, are you planning to give the gift you got for your previous girlfriend to your current girlfriend?” Marina raised an eyebrow 

“Stop dwelling on the past. That was a long time ago. I was… too young and foolish back then,” Peter said, keeping a close eye on Jessica’s reaction. 

“Too young? Your childhood is really long. You were in your twenties.” Marina scoffed 

Peter’s lips moved. He wanted to explain something, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. 

After all, he was indeed the one who did those things. 

if he quibbled now, who knew how much more information Marina would reveal 

In the end, he decided not to say anything 

He’d better take the scold. 

As expected, Marina did not say anything else when she saw that Peter didn’t talk back. 

She started to talk about serious matters with him. 

“By the way, how about casting Jason for the supporting male role? It suits him,” Marina suggested. 

“Jason who?” Peter searched his mind for a long time but could not find such a name. 

“He was at your annual party that day. He didn’t seem to have any notable acting credits. You probably don’t know him. Just look up his name,” Marina 

clarified 

“Ah, it’s rare to hear you praise people. Do you have feelings for him? 

“If you do, just tell me. And he will be yours,” Peter said generously. 

“Save it. I am not you” Marina rolled her eyes at him. 

Peter panicked again and quickly said, “What’s wrong with me? I’ve never coerced anyone into anything I’ve always respected the principle of consent.” 

“Fine. I’m not interested in your romantic affairs. I came here today to give you the script and discuss the casting for the supporting male role,” Marina said, shitting the focus back to the purpose of her visit. 

Marina waved her hand. She did not want to continue this meaningless conversation with him 

“Got it. I’ll set up a project team immediately,” Peter replied without hesitation 

“Sure.” Manna nodded and looked at Jessica 

“I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now. But if anything like that happens again in the future, rest assured, I’ll make sure to teach hith a lesson he won’t forget,” Marina declared

Jessica was speechless.
