Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 

“That’s where my younger brother’s brilliance lies!” Mr. Fermon’s face revealed an indescribable mix of emotions. 

But Marina, fixated, stared back at him, waiting for him to continue. 

“In truth… even the Chrislyn you first encountered is not the real human we all know,” Mr. Fermon finally spoke after a moment of silence. 

“Not a true human? Then what is she?” Marina’s mind flashed back to the secret room she had discovered in Mr. Fermon’s mansion. 

And then it hit her. 

“Actually, she’s just a product of artificial cloning.” Mr. Fermon finally unveiled the truth. 

“Artificial… cloning?” Marina whispered, her voice filled with disbelief. 

“Yes, my younger brother harbors ambitious desires. He not only seeks the Pembroke family but also aims to control the entire Four Families. 

“However, he understands that the Four Families are not easily dealt with, so he had to be patient and gradually infiltrate. 

“The Chrislyn you met initially is one of his creations. 

“But what he cleverly did was avoid instilling excessive hatred in that product. Instead, he raised her as the embodiment of kindness and gentleness. 

“And when the time was right, he brought her before all of you. 

“Because he knew that only true sincerity and kindness would truly move you. 

“He watched as your love for each other grew deeper and the bonds tightened. 

“And then, he sought the perfect opportunity to shatter it all. 

“See, he doesn’t need to manipulate you using Chrislyn. He just needs to give you the most exquisite experiences. 

“And when you are fully invested emotionally, he would demolish everything, which will inevitably lead to your own destruction. 

“Originally, his aim was to kill two birds with one stone. 

“But unfortunately, your resilience surpasses that of the young master from the Garcia family. He must be regretting it. 

“I suspect his interest in you sparked from that time onward.” 

Mr. Fermon spoke, his words flowing slowly. 

Marina, having listened to it all, stood frozen, her mind racing. 

Yenny had warned her multiple times about Yenny’s cunning and deceitfulness. 

His manipulative nature ran deep.. 

But she had always believed she wouldn’t fall prey to his schemes. 

Yet, hearing Mr. Fermon’s revelations, she realized she was wrong and too naive. 

That person had invested so much time and effort into planning this elaborate trap. 

It was far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve. 

He… truly was a lunatic! 

“My younger brother doesn’t seek a quick end to his enemies,” Mr. Fermon continued. 

“What he revels in is their gradual suffering, witnessing their growing disillusionment with the world. 

“He wants them to sink into complete corruption. That’s when he’s truly ecstatic.” Mr. Fermon’s gaze towards Marina held complexity.” 

“I will verify everything you’ve said!” Marina finally regained her composure after a brief pause. 

Her eyes locked onto Mr. Fermon, determination burning within. 

“With Miss Bailey’s intelligence, I’m confident that once I provide you with the clues, you’ll swiftly uncover the truth. 

“However, I implore you to hasten your efforts, because time is against me. 

“My health deteriorates by the day, and that’s precisely why I took the risk of bringing Chrislyn to your attention. 

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to contact you or share all of this with you. 

“But Yenny had already learned my existence, and he would undoubtedly come to kill me at all costs. 

“Miss Bailey, there’s actually no need for you to feel any guilt for Chrislyn’s death. 

“Because it was her predetermined fate. From the moment she was born into this world, she was destined to take this path.” 

Upon hearing his words, Marina’s expression remained unchanged.) 

Mr. Fermon didn’t say anything further and turned to leave. 

But as he reached the doorway, he suddenly recalled something and paused. 

“Oh, by the way, weren’t you always curious about the true identity of the Chrislyn I brought to you? 

“Actually, I believe with your intelligence, you probably have already guessed it. 

“She’s just like the original Chrislyn who first appeared by your side, merely a clone. 

“Except she’s a failed experiment, discarded by Yenny like trash. 

“I brought her home, but she had physical defects, and her sole purpose of existence was to ruthlessly eliminate you and Jeffery. 

“Although I tried everything to alter her mindset during the time I had her, the progress was limited. 

“So, whether she stays or goes, it’s up to you.” 

After Mr. Fermon finished speaking, he pushed the door and left directly. 

The bodyguard who had been waiting outside quickly approached to check on him. 

“Sir, are you alright?” The bodyguard’s voice was filled with concern. 

“I’m fine,” Mr. Fermon shook his head. 

“Then let’s head back quickly!” The bodyguard promptly stepped forward to support Mr. Fermon. 

“Okay,” Mr. Fermon nodded. 

The two of them slowly made their way toward the elevator.
