Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

“Well, that’s because they have dementia, so they always can’t remember other people’s names, Marina said as she coldly snorted.

Earl was left speechless.

Gordon was left speechless too.

Dr. Liam was a discerning person. After his gaze swept over Marina and several members of the Campbell family, he realized that their relationship with Marina might not be good.

“Mr. Campbell, I saved you before because someone begged me to do so,” Marina said. “If there is any debt of gratitude, it is that person who owes me. You owe me no debt of gratitude. So, you don’t need to compensate me for anything. I’ll pass on today’s meal. I can’t really eat anything anyway.”

Marina glanced at Gordon. She then turned around to leave the private room.

Simon was naturally pleased with Marina’s decision, but before leaving, he gave Gordon a meaningful look.

The emotions in his eyes were difficult to decipher, making it hard for people to know what he was truly thinking.

After Simon and Marina left, Dr. Liam’s expression turned cold.

“Mr. Campbell, I used to think that you are one of the few discerning people in this circle, but now it seems that I am wrong.” Dr. Liam said with a cold expression. “From now on, let’s have less contact.”

After Dr. Liam finished talking, he turned around and left as well.

After all, as a fervent “little” fan of Marina, anyone who was disliked by his idol was surely not a good person.

“Dr. Liam!” After hearing Dr. Liam’s words which sounded like a declaration of breaking off their relationship, Jacob wanted

up with him.

to catch

However, Earl immediately stopped him.

“Dad, why did you stop me?” Jacob said, looking puzzled. “I need to explain things clearly to Dr. Liam. You know, as long as we have his friendship, it would be beneficial for our family!”

“I understand Dr. Liam’s temperament better than you do,” Earl said. “Now that he has said those words, there is no point in chasing after him.” Earl had the clearest perspective on the matter.

“Well, um…” Jacob looked frustrated. “What is going on here?” he said. “What is Caroline’s identity? Why is Dr. Liam afraid of her?”

“Do you know anything about her identity, Gordon?” Jacob asked as he turned to look at Gordon.

Gordon shook his head.

Caroline had never told him that she had medical skills.

“Perhaps what Dr. Liam said is true,” Earl said as he looked intensely in the direction where Marina had left. “We really have misjudged the situation this time around.”

After getting injured, Earl retreated to the manor on the mountain to recuperate.

He rarely left the manor.

Even when Gordon got married, he did not come down from the manor.

This was because the Campbell family did not agree with the marriage at that time. Hence, the wedding ceremony was not held.

Naturally, Earl did not care about Marina at all.

He knew very well that Gordon saw Marina as someone to be used.

Young people always had a rebellious phase.

Unless they crossed the line, Earl usually did not intervene.

This explained why he did not show any concern or reaction when Marina went missing back then.

On reflection, he realized that that was a huge mistake.

“She really hid it well,” Jacob said with a snort. “She didn’t even tell us about that!”

“When I found her, she didn’t remember anything that happened before,” Gordon explained, speaking up for Marina. “She didn’t intend to deceive us.”

“I saw the way Dr. Liam treated her,” Jacob said. “If we can win her over, Dr. Liam will surely be of use to us! Gordon, didn’t she use to like you a lot? Hurry up and try to win her back!”

Jacob fixed his intense gaze on Gordon.

“Dad, I’ve said it before,” Gordon said. “I’ll only marry Sophia in my life!” Upon hearing Jacob’s remarks, Gordon could not help but show a hint of disgust in his eyes.

“What is so good about Sophia?” Jacob asked. “She is just a girl from a small and insignificant family. She is not worthy of marrying into our family! She won’t be of any help to your future either!” Jacob’s tone became harsher as he heard Gordon’s refusal.

“So, in your mind, marriage is just a tool to boost your career, huh?” Gordon said. “Did you marry my mother for the same reason?” Gordon had been suppressing his emotions all along, but he could not hold back any longer upon hearing hist father’s words.

“Smack!” The sound of a slap could be heard.
