Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 264

“You do not have to concern yourself with this matter. If you wish to strike a deal, follow my instructions. If you’re not interested, then please leave. I shall await the Pembroke family’s invitation to visit!” Marina said.

As she completed her statement, Marina turned away and prepared to depart.

“Wait a moment, Yenny promptly interjected to stop her.

“Mr. Pembroke, have you thoroughly considered the matter?” Maria asked.

Negotiating with someone like Yenny, an experienced negotiator, required precise pacing. Quickness and accuracy are imperative, especially when dealing with someone as cunning as Yenny.

Otherwise, there is a high likelihood of being manipulated.

Therefore, Marina wasted no time disclosing her ace in the hole, aiming to expedite Yenny’s agreement to the deal.

“Since you’re aware that Edward has fallen under the influence of hypnosis, you must also be cognizant that only a trained professional can break the hypnotic state. Individuals such as ourselves, lacking expertise in the matter, could potentially inflict irreparable harm upon the hypnotized individual, Yenny spoke slowly and deliberately.

“So, what is it that you desire?” Marina asked with her dark eyes squinted slightly.

“In the past, I had someone else handle this matter, so if I wish to undo Edward’s hypnotic state. I must seek out that individual again. However, this esteemed hypnotist’s whereabouts remain elusive, thus necessitating some additional time on my part, Yenny replied, finally arriving at the crux of the matter.

Marina smiled after hearing Yenny’s words. She questioned, “So, what you’re about to propose is that I remove your poison and then allow you to seek out the hypnotist gradually, isn’t it?”

“Miss Bailey, your intelligence is indeed commendable. Conversing with you is a delightful experience,” Yenny replied as a trace of amusement glimmered in Yenny’s eyes.

“Yenny, do I strike you as a retard?” Marina asked, as her gaze bore into him intently.

Yenny replied, “Of course not.”

“Since you acknowledge that I’m not intellectually impaired, why do you dare to employ such deceitful tactics, reminiscent of fooling a three–year–old, to deceive me?” Marina challenged, her countenance immediately darkened.

Subsequently, she glanced at Gavin standing nearby and declared, “Since Mr. Pembroke has no intention of seeking reconciliation with us, kindly see the guest off!”

Having uttered those words, Marina decisively strode away from the reception room, displaying no hint of hesitation.

Although Yenny intended to call Marina’s name, Gavin directly positioned himself before him.

“Mr. Pembroke, please leave, Gavin said, maintaining his cheerful demeanor.

However, at that moment, Yenny found himself utterly incapable of smiling.

Marina was not adhering to conventional norms of behavior.

Yenny drew a deep breath and glanced upward at Gavin, who stood before him.

“Kindly relay the message to Marina that I have already acceded to her request,” he said. Even in defeat, Yenny maintained the air of a victor.

“Mr. Pembroke, as you just heard, Marina has requested that I escort you out. You must understand that she is resolute in her decisions. Even our CEO, Mr. Hernandez, does not dare question her judgments. I’m afraid I cannot fulfill your request,” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Gavin replied. His words sounded apologetic, yet the expression on his face unmistakably conveyed a sense of malicious satisfaction.

Yenny’s brows furrowed slightly in response.

“Mr. Pembroke, please proceed, Gavin repeated as he gestured for Yenny to leave.

Yenny clenched his teeth slightly. Nevertheless, he maintained a composed expression on his face. He turned around and departed from the meeting room.

After escorting Yenny and his party into the elevator, Gavin returned to Simon’s office.

Marina Bailey was leaning back in her chair while Simon, wearing a worried expression, stood before her as if he was examining her wounds.

Marina caught a glimpse of Gavin entering and immediately pushed Simon aside.

“Did Yenny leave?” Marina adjusted her clothes slightly.

“Yes, I personally escorted him to the elevator, and as you suspected, Marina, after you left, Yenny did indeed want me to invite you back. However, I refused him according to your request,” Gavin replied.

The smile on Gavin’s face had not faded since earlier.

You should know that in the past, Yenny used to intentionally or unintentionally reveal information about Edward to the president. Because he held this leverage, the president had to tolerate him for

many years. He had been holding back his anger for many years. This time, he could finally unleash it without reservation.

“Does his expression not look great?” Marina said as her smile deepened.

“I wanted to capture it on my phone so that I could enjoy it when I am feeling unwell, Gavin replied, his eyebrows were tinged with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Marina could not help but snort.

“When he came today, he definitely thought that we would beg him because Edward is in his hands. However, he did not expect that we had already noticed something amiss with Edward. But he’s a person accustomed to arrogance. Even though. we have seen through his scheme, he still wants to take the upper hand. Dealing with such a person, we cannot give him the slightest opportunity. If he is tough, we must be even tougher. Only then can he gain nothing from us!” Marina spoke nonchalantly.

“I did not expect, Miss Bailey, that you have such insights into negotiations,” Gavin complimented. His gaze, now filled with admiration, looked at Marina. It felt like, in a while, Marina’s position in his heart would surpass Simon’s.

“You gain insights with experience, Marina replied with a faint smile.

“Alright, can you come back with me and rest now?” Simon, who was beside them, seemed uninterested in Yenny’s matters. His eyes were fixed on Marina, only concerned about her injuries.

“Hmm, Marina nodded, then glanced at Gavin again. “If Yenny requests to visit again, tell him we have gone out for a few days and will not return soon.”

“Understood!” Gavin immediately agreed without even looking at Simon.

Simon felt somewhat helpless about this. But he did not say anything. He just bent down and lifted Marina, who was on the sofa, in his arms.

“You have been out all day today. It’s time to go back and rest,” Simon said, not waiting for Marina’s response, and walked out of the office in big strides.

Gavin quickly stepped forward to press the elevator for them.
