Chapter 263 

After Gavin left, Yenny’s assistant could not sit still and spoke up, saying. “They are clearly trying to intimidate us.” 

“Why does it matter if they are trying to intimidate us? We have already suffered a setback from someone’s scheme. Should we not allow them to provoke us?” Yenny turned his head and glanced at his assistant. 

The assistant immediately lowered his head. “It is all my fault. I should have been more thorough in checking” 

“If even I did not notice, how can you claim to have been careful?” Yenny responded as he slowly placed the teacup down. 

Then he closed his eyes slowly and relaxed in the comfortable chair behind him. He could not move anymore, yet there was no sense of urgency. It was as if he had complete confidence that nothing would happen to him. 

Marina and Simon, who had been monitoring Yenny in the office, showed subtle changes in their expressions. 

“Yenny is really good at enduring. Look at his left hand, he has not moved it since he came in. It is evident that he has lost most of the sensation in that hand. If it were someone else, they would have been unable to remain calm after being ignored for almost an hour. But his face does not show any signs of panic. He is truly an opponent to be cautious of,” remarked Marina, her eyes tinged with curiosity. 

“It is about time. Continuing to show off will not have any effect, Simon said. He understood Yenny’s temperament very 

well. 

“Hmm, alright.” Marina nodded and stood up, supporting herself with her hand on the chair. 

Simon looked at her with concern and asked, “Can your body hold up?” 

“What cannot my body withstand? I am not fighting him like before. Besides, this is your territory. On your turf, can he bully me?” Marina smiled. 

“You are right. I will not let him harm you again.” Simon tightly held Marina’s hand. 

“Then let us go. It is our turn to be bold and arrogant this time!” Marina’s lips revealed a hint of determination. 

When the reception room door was pushed open again, Yenny saw Simon and Marina walking in hand in hand. 

Yenny’s gaze first swept over Simon. He noticed that he was impeccably dressed from head to toe, and even his complexion. was exceptionally good. Humpback had been useless. Not only did he fail to kill Simon, but he did not even leave a scratch. What a worthless man! 

This happened instantly, and Yenny quickly shifted his gaze to Marina beside them. 

“Miss Bailey, your complexion seems a bit off. Have you been feeling unwell lately?” Yenny asked. 

When Simon heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes. When his brother, Robert, left, he mentioned that Yenny had wanted to propose to Marina. 

Marina had deliberately applied makeup when she came over. It was to conceal her pale complexion and deceive Yenny. But he still saw through it at a glance. This indicated that he had indeed paid a lot of attention to Marina. Otherwise, he would not have observed so carefully. 

“I am in perfectly good health, but Mr. Pembroke seems to be seriously ill,” Marina smiled faintly. 

“Miss Bailey, you’re truly remarkable. Could this be your doing?” Yenny asked casually. 

“Haven’t you already deduced the truth?” Marina snorted. 

“Miss Bailey, you continue to impress me more and more.” Yenny stared at Marina with admiration, refraining from probing 

further. 

Chapter 263 

You see, beautiful women are abundant, but finding someone gorgeous but also intelligent and resourceful is rare. 

“I have something even more surprising for you. Would you like to find out?” Marina challenged. She stood with her hands behind her back, her face contemplative as she gazed at Yenny. 

Yenny raised an eyebrow but did not respond immediately. 

Marina directed her gaze toward his left hand. She challenged calmly, “It must be uncomfortable not to have any sensation. Tell me, would the Pembroke Group appoint a disabled person as their CEO, Mr. Pembroke?” 

“You people who only know how to poison others from behind are truly treacherous!” the assistant interjected angrily. 

He had not expected Marina to be behind this, and she was even admitting it so openly. 

“Compared to your CEO, Mr. Pembroke, we are merely child’s play,” Marina said indifferently. 

“You!” The assistant’s face turned red with anger. 

However, Marina had no intention of wasting any more time on him. 

She turned her gaze directly to Yenny, and proposed, “I can indeed cure your hand, but you have to give me the key to release Edward from his hypnotic state.”
