Chapter 337
Daisy abruptly turned her head in the direction where Marina had left.
She remembered who that man was!
It was the family head of the Hernandez family.
Simon Hernandez!
Goodness!
“Marina is actually dating Simon?
“No, no. I have to tell Mary about this!” Daisy immediately took out her phone and called Marina’s mother.
Meanwhile, Marina remained completely unaware of the situation.
She was happily enjoying her meal with Simon.
“By the way, how are things going with the Pembroke family?” Marina asked while eating.
“Yenny has gone insane,” Simon replied, his gaze fixed on Marina.
Whenever he noticed her lingering gaze on a particular dish, he would serve her more of it.
“Insane? Is it real or fake?” Marina didn’t even need to pick up the food herself as Simon would serve her food.
“I’ve sent someone to check him, and it seems to be true.
“Perhaps he couldn’t handle the words you said earlier,” Simon remarked, showing little concern about the matter.
“Is his mental resilience really that weak? He doesn’t seem like it,” Marina commented, leisurely enjoying the food Simon served her.
“Sometimes, a person’s inner self is fragile. They may appear invincible, but if you touch upon a certain sensitive point, they can become vulnerable,” Simon responded calmly.
“If he’s gone insane, then so be it. I had initially wanted him to suffer a bit more, but it seems he knows how to let himself suffer lesser pain,” Marina snorted.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let him live too comfortably,” Simon replied in a calm tone.
“Alright.” Marina nodded.
She was confident in letting Simon handle these matters.
“By the way, I’ve pretty much taken care of everything regarding the Pembroke family’s situation. Besides taking you out for a meal, I also have something to give you.”
Simon spoke while taking out a folder and pushing it to Marina.
“What is this?” Marina was still holding her fork. She glanced at the folder with indifference, showing no intention to open it.
“It contains all of the Pembroke family’s assets,” Simon explained.
“The entire wealth of the Pembroke family? Why are you giving all of this to me?” Marina’s face displayed a hint of confusion.
“These things are all for you,” Simon clarified.
“What do I need all of these for?” Marina was not interested. She lowered her head and continued eating.
Considering the wealth she possessed, not only for her life but also for her future generations, it would be more than enough to spend for several dozen lifetimes.
After accumulating money an incredible amount, it became just a number.
“All of this is rightfully yours. I have transferred everything into your name. If you find these matters burdensome, you can hire professionals to handle them for you.
“I believe you must have capable people around you, but if not, I can introduce someone to you,” Simon said.
Marina was almost done finishing her meal, so she put down her fork.

“Are you saying that all of the Pembroke family’s assets are inside this folder?” she asked.
“Yes.” Simon nodded.
“What about yourself? Haven’t you kept anything for yourself?” Marina opened her lips to speak.
“What’s mine is yours. It’s better to transfer everything to your name now and avoid any complications later,” Simon replied naturally.
“Alright, I understand,” Marina agreed, realizing that Simon had already made up his mind.
Marina could not refuse anymore, so she only agreed.
“Are we going back later?” Simon asked, seeing that Marina had finished eating. He considerately handed her a tissue.
Before Marina could respond, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the caller ID.
It was Daisy.
“See, the person who’s rushing me is calling me now. I definitely have to go back, or else I won’t have a moment of peace for the next month,” Marina sighed.
“Then I’ll take you back,” Simon offered.
“Okay,” Marina replied before answering the call.
“Aunt Daisy, I’ll come over later,” Marina spoke first.
However, right after Marina finished her sentence, Daisy’s voice came from the other end.
“No need. I’ll handle things on my own. You take care of your own matters.”
“Huh?” Marina was in a daze.
It seemed like her aunt was letting her off the hook.
However, it didn’t match her aunt’s usual character.
Daisy said, “You focus on your own matters. You’re a little girl in love, and surely you have things to take care of.
“It’s all my fault that I didn’t realize it earlier. Have fun outside, and don’t worry about my affairs.
“If I can’t handle them, I’ll naturally go bother that annoying Peter.
“I called to let you know that you can have a good time outside without worrying about me.”
After saying that, Daisy hung up.
However, Marina was even more confused.
Was this something her aunt could actually say?
When did she become so considerate and understanding?
Moreover, what did Daisy mean by saying she was a little girl in love and had things to do?
Could it be that… she knew something?
Marina looked at Simon.
“What’s wrong?” Simon asked.
“When you came to pick me up, my aunt might have seen you,” Marina explained.
“If she saw me, so what? Am I that disgraceful?” Simon raised an eyebrow.
“That’s not what I meant…” Marina did not know how to explain.
“Then what do you mean?”
“…” Marina hesitated, her lips moving several times without uttering a complete sentence.

Simon remained calm, his gaze fixed on Marina.
He waited for her to continue.
“Well… my aunt and my mom have a very close relationship, like sisters,” Marina explained after thinking for a while.
“So?” Simon asked.
“So if she really did see you, she would definitely inform my mom immediately,” Marina continued.
“And what would happen if she informed her?” Simon remained unconcerned.
Marina sighed inwardly.
Seeing his unconcerned face, Marina couldn’t say anything.
Marina lightly reminded him, “Well, it’s not a big deal, but if you feel that something is off around you recently, just pay a little more
attention.”
“Hmm?” Simon’s voice carried a hint of confusion.
“My mother has a somewhat unusual personality, and I’m not sure how to explain it to you at the moment.
“Just, you know, keep an eye out,” Marina explained.
After Marina finished speaking, Simon’s confusion only deepened.
