Chapter 470
Chapter 470
“Why should I care about work at a time like this? What’s more, I now understand that work can never be done. It’s more important to deal with your matters first.”
Marina’s tone was firm.
Simon did not refuse her again. They went to see Carter together.
Carter was waiting for them in the villa.
When he saw Simon and Marina coming over together, he could not help but smile.
Then, he handed a box to Marina.
“Mrs. Hernandez, I heard that you two have held a wedding. I’m sorry. I can not come and attend it. This is my wedding gift to you and Mr. Hernandez. 1 hope you like it.”
Carter’s expression was particularly gentle.
He looked at Marina with more respect than before.
“Thank you” Marina did not expect Carter, a foreigner, to know the etiquette so well.
She accepted his gift gratefully.
Carter’s smile slowly faded after giving Marina the gift.
Then, he became serious.
Marina knew that Carter was going to get down to business.
Then, the three of them sat on the sofa aside.
“What have you found out?” Simon was the first to ask.
“My master’s death was indeed not an accident.” Carter handed Simon the results of his investigation.
Simon did not look too surprised when he heard Carter’s words.
Because he had known about the matter.
“Then do you know what caused it?” Simon asked in a deep voice..
“Mr. Hernandez, are you sure you want to hear it?” asked Carter, who didn’t immediately answer Simon’s question.
Instead, he looked at Simon solemnly.
Carter’s words made Simon’s expression change.
“What do you mean by that?” asked Simon.
“Because everything I’ve investigated is the truth. It might affect your current life if I tell you everything,” said Carter.
Carter gave Simon two options. “Actually, we can also avenge my master and can do it flawlessly.”
“I want to know the truth!” Simon replied straightforwardly.
“Are you sure?” asked Carter.
Simon said, “Tve been investigating it for so long because I want to know the result. Now that the result is in front of me, how can I evade it?
“Whatever it is, you just have to tell me,” said Simon, enunciating each word.
Upon hearing Simons’s words, Marina held his hand.
She seemed to want to tell him in such a manner.
She would be with him no matter what happened next.
Carter agreed firmly, saying, “Okay. Mr. Hernandez, I’ll tell you everything since this is your choice.”
“Before I tell you why my master died, I have to tell you something about the past.”
Carter’s eyes grew distant as he spoke.
It was as if he was recalling something from a long time ago.
“Your mother’s original name was Seyah. She was the most generous woman I’ve ever seen in my life.
“She had a kind heart and loved everyone. She’s the most beloved princess in our entire country. “A princess?” Marina was surprised when she heard the title.
Chapter 470
Yes. She was a princess,” Carter said, enunciating each word.
“I know the world has been searching for the Akister Treasure. They think that it is just a person’s treasure.
“But how could a person gather so many treasures with his own power?
“In fact, these are all the strength and wealth left by a country,” Carter said slowly.
Marina nodded in understanding when she heard Carter’s words.
She felt strange about it before.
How could a person’s strength condense so much wealth?
Even the Bailey family had worked hard for generations to accumulate this much wealth.
Therefore, Marina always thought the Akister Treasure was just a rumor before.
But it all seemed very credible if Carter was telling the truth now.
Carter continued, “We were a small country and had never been on the other side of the ocean.
“Many people actually didn’t know our country. Although our land area was small, there were abundant minerals underground.
“We also relied on the resource to accumulate a large amount of wealth.
“However, the more things one has, the greater one’s sins will be when one becomes weak.
