Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 

“So, the person who took you is the big shot of this company?” Gavin asked, his words dripping with curiosity. 

Marina’s expression flickered slightly as she clarified, “Not necessarily the big shot, but definitely connected to this 

company. 

Gavin’s sharp eyes narrowed with determination as he said, “I’ll dig into it right away. No secrets can hide from me.” 

“Alright.” Marina nodded, her trust in Gavin unwavering. 

With that, Gavin turned around and swiftly departed. 

The room now held only Marina and Simon. 

Just as Simon was about to speak, a resounding knock echoed through the door, causing Simon’s brows to furrow. 

Simon Hernandez frowned. 

“Is Gavin back again?” Marina asked. Curious, she prepared to open the door. 

Simon, however, gently pulled her back. 

Puzzled. Marina questioned, “What’s wrong?” as she peered into Simon’s eyes. 

Simon’s voice dropped to a low whisper as he reassured her, “Don’t worry about it.” 

“Maybe he has something to tell us. Besides, he’s your secretary,” Marina replied as she tried to break free from Simon’s 

embrace. 

But in the next moment, a shout came from outside the door. 

“Simon, are you in there? I know you’re in there, so open the door!” 

Marina frowned upon hearing the voice. She then squinted at Simon behind her. 

“Why is he here too?” she asked. 

The voice outside the door belonged to Jeffery. 

“That’s why I told you not to worry about it.” Simon had no intention of getting up to open the door. 

After all, he had not seen Marina for days, and now he just wanted some quiet time together. 

He did not want to pay attention to Jeffery. 

“Alright, enough. I’ll go open the door,” Marina said. While Simon did not want to attend to Jeffery, Marina could not ignore him. She patted his hand, indicating him to stop. 

While Simon did not want to attend to Jeffery, Marina could not ignore him.. 

She patted his hand, indicating him to stop. 

Simon’s gaze darkened. Although he was a little unhappy, he let go of Marina’s hand. 

Marina, who had regained her freedom, immediately got up and walked towards the door. 

As soon as she opened it, she saw Jeffery raising his hand, about to knock on the door. 

As their eyes met, both parties fell silent for a moment. 

Are you… okay?” After a while, Jeffery asked in a low voice. 

“What could be wrong with me?” Marina replied as she looked at him calmly. 

Jeffery struggled to speak as the words got stuck in his throat. 

“Come in. Let’s talk.” Marina stepped aside, making way for him. 

Jeffery walked in immediately. 

Upon entering, he saw Simon sitting on the sofa, his hand lightly resting on the back, giving off an unwelcoming vibe. 

Jeffery looked at Simon with a face that neither displayed coldness nor indifference. 

However, it was evident that he did not welcome his arrival. 

Yet, at this moment, Jeffery could not care about that. 

His purpose here was not to find Simon either. 

He suppressed his emotions and glanced at Marina, who stood beside him. 

“I heard… you brought her back?” Jeffery stammered. 

As soon as Jeffery said this, Simon’s face immediately darkened. 

“What is the matter? Falling into the same trap again, Mr. Jeffery? Are you truly willing to repeat the same mistake?” Simon questioned, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm. 

He held a strong dislike for Jeffery because of his foolishness, which had brought danger into their midst. 

That was the reason Marina ended up in such a dangerous situation: 

In an instant, Jeffery’s face turned pale. 

Marina exchanged a look with Simon, signaling him to stop making unfounded accusations. 

Simon raised an eyebrow in response, firmly believing he was only speaking the truth. 

Marina furrowed her brow, giving a warning signal. 

Simon noticed and withdrew his gaze, displeased as he stared out of the nearby window. 

“I did bring her back,” Marina replied to Jeffery’s questions after dealing with Simon. 

“Where is she now?” Upon hearing this, Jeffery could not care less about Simon and anxiously asked. 

“She is in the adjacent room. She is probably awake by now. Marina replied. She had rendered Chrislyn unconscious the day before to facilitate their escape. 

“Can… can I go see her?” Jeffery asked. His anxious expression was coupled with a curious tone. 

“Sure, I am also planning to go see her.” Marina nodded in agreement. 

Simon furrowed his brows even harder upon hearing this. 

He did not want Marina to get involved in all of this. 

Before he could say anything, Marina intercepted, “If you do not want to go, you can rest here.” 

“When did I say I do not want to go?” Simon instinctively retorted.

“Since you want to go, let us go together then. Marina smiled. 

Simon’s expression instantly froze. He thought, “This girl actually manipulated my words! But she is still looking at me innocently. What else can I do? Of course, I will have to continue doting on her!” 

Simon sighed heavily and got up to follow them to the adjacent room.
