Returning With A Thousand Favors novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

“Mr. Hernandez, you and Miss Bailey have such a fate.” Sitting in the driver’s seat, Gavin Johnson looked at Simon and sighed with emotion.

“Miss Bailey?” Simon finally withdrew his gaze when he heard that.

“Hmm? Don’t you know, Mr. Hernandez?” Gavin was a little surprised at Simon’s reaction.

“What should I know?” Simon narrowed his black eyes.

“She is Miss Bailey. Didn’t I tell you last time? She beat Mr. Robert to the hospital. You asked me to investigate who lived here. I thought you already knew,” Gavin explained.

He thought Mr. Hernandez was so attentive to Miss Bailey because he already knew her identity.

It turned out that he didn’t know it at all.

After Simon heard that, there was a faint flash of light in his eyes.

He then chuckled softly.

“Do you mean she’s the little girl from the Bailey family?”

It seemed that things were getting more interesting.

Simon turned his head to look out of the car window again.

The lights were on in a room on the second floor of Marina’s house.

A graceful figure could be vaguely seen moving inside.

The Bailey girl was indeed interesting.

A moment later, Simon withdrew his gaze and gave an order with a deep voice. “Go back to the hotel.”

“Yes,” Gavin responded and started driving.

When Marina noticed that Simon’s car had left while she was upstairs, her facial expression finally eased

slightly.

She closed the curtains and took off her shoes and shirt.

She had initially planned to throw them directly into the trash.

Somehow, she suddenly remembered the pleasant cold fragrance on that man’s body.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally found a bag and packed the shoes and clothes.

She threw it into the back of the closet.

She then turned around and walked toward the bathroom.

As for Richard Grayson, after coming out of the club, he endured great pain all over his body and went to the hospital.

After the examination, it was found that he had a large wound accompanied by a slight concussion.

He also had two broken ribs. While applying the medicine, Richard cursed with all the dirty words he knew in pain.

His eyes were filled with deep hatred.

“Caroline Campbell, you wait for me!

“I will make you kneel and apologize to me!”

He clenched his fist but accidentally pulled the wound on his chest, causing him to burst into a series of

curses.

Marina felt refreshed after taking a shower.

As soon as she sat down in front of her desk, the computer screen suddenly lit up.

A huge face suddenly appeared on the screen, occupying the entire screen.

Marina’s eyebrows furrowed, and she tilted her head back slightly.

“Lambert Bailey! Keep that s****d face of yours away from the camera! It scared my eyes!”

“Oh, sure.” On the other end, Lambert Bailey immediately stepped back and then started speaking exceptionally earnestly.

“Marina, is this distance comfortable for you? Do your eyes feel okay?”

“Cut it out!” Marina glanced at him lightly, then looked down and continued to wipe her somewhat wet hair.

“Marina, when are you coming back?” Lambert asked with a look of concern.

Marina lifted her eyelids and closed the computer screen without saying a word.

She got up and walked toward the big bed.

At the next moment, the mobile phone she had placed at the end of the bed lit up.

It was still Lambert Bailey’s face.

Marina glanced at it and slapped it back on the desk.

As soon as she sat on the bed, the TV on the opposite side was turned on again.

On the screen was the face of Lambert Bailey again.

Just as Marina was thinking about whether to throw the TV out, Lambert immediately seized the time to say his purpose.

“I have a very urgent matter that needs your help.”

“I’m not available.” Marina refused crisply.

She turned around and picked up the picture frame on the head of the bed..

The frame was made of crystal. When Marina threw it up and down, she found it was heavy enough to smash a hole in the TV screen.

“Grandpa asked me to tell you,” Lambert said quickly, watching Marina’s actions.

“Grandpa?” Hearing that, Marina narrowed her starry eyes slightly.

“Yes, Grandpa entrusted me with this matter. If you don’t believe me, you can call and ask him yourself,” Lambert said firmly.

Marina stared at him for a moment, thinking that he didn’t have the guts to deceive her in the name of their grandpa.

“Tell me what Grandpa wants me to do.” Marina’s red lips moved.

“An old friend of his is sick. Grandpa wants you to take a look at him,” Lambert said. As soon as Marina gave the nod, he acted on it immediately.

“Send me his information.” Marina sounded a little lazy.

“I’ve already sent it to your mailbox,” Lambert said.

“That was fast. Is it really just Grandpa’s words?” Marina squinted and stared at the handsome young man on the TV screen.

“Ahem, ahem, well… I was recently discussing a business with a boss. This old man seems to be his elder. Hel has been busy with this matter recently. This business is on the board if you can cure his grandfather.”

Lambert did not dare to speak in front of his sister. He touched his nose, feeling a sense of guilt.

The smile on Marina’s face had long faded away.

“But you have to believe me. This is really just a coincidence. After Grandpa told me, I realized that his friend was the boss’s elder, and I definitely didn’t reveal your identity!” Lambert said and stretched out his hand to

swear.

“Okay, I got it.” Marina waved her hand.

She picked up the laptop next to her, logged in to the mailbox, and checked the medical records that Lambert sent her.

“When do you have time?” Lambert asked cautiously.

Marina did not answer his question. She only quickly scanned the medical records.

When she saw that the medical record introduced the elder as a soldier, her eyes flashed. She raised her

head.

“I’ll go find him tomorrow.”

“That’s great. I’ll tell him now.” A flash of happiness flashed across Lambert’s face.

His sister promised to help, so he couldn’t run away from this business.

However, just as Lambert was about to go offline, Marina suddenly stopped him.

“Marina, what else do you want?” Lambert had a gentle expression.

“Next time you dare to hack my computer and phone, I’ll send Grandpa the Favorite Movies folder on your computer,” Marina Bailey said word by word.

Lambert was shocked by her words.

His face instantly revealed a trace of horror. “How do you know about this folder? I hid it so well.”

“What do you think?” Marina looked at him blankly.

Lambert was too startled to utter a word for a moment.

“You didn’t decipher it yourself, did you?” he murmured.

“What else could it be?” Marina rolled her eyes at him.

“Have you read the contents of the folder?” Lambert hurriedly asked.
