Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 294

Marina was a little stumped by Simon’s question.

“Although you’ve been hesitating, if you really believed that this person was Chrislyn Neil, you wouldn’t have taken the trouble to have her grave dug up.”

I believe that when you decided to dig up her grave, you had probably already guessed that her body was not inside.” Simon looked at Marina languidly.

Marina suddenly laughed.

“Why do I feel like you know me better than I know myself?”

“Is that bad?” Simon raised his eyebrows.

“It’s not a good thing. After all, if we fall out in the future, do you think it will be a good thing to have an opponent who knows me so well?” Marina said.

“Why would we fall out?” Simon said firmly.

“Who can say for sure? You have to know that the world is unpredictable. We may fall out at any time.” Marina was not the kind of young girl whose heart and eyes were filled with romantic love.

She knew that there were too many things in this world that were beyond one’s control.

Sometimes, even if a couple truly loved each other, they might not be able to complete their life journey together right to

the end.

One never knew which would come first, tomorrow or an accident..

“You can rest assured that as long as I am still alive in this world, I will never be separated from you, nor will I stand against you.” Simon lowered his head and said to Marina, pronouncing every word clearly.

That solemn demeanor made him look like he was swearing an oath.

“I’m just saying it casually. You don’t have to take it to heart.” Marina smiled and closed the subject.

Then, she adjusted her posture and leaned comfortably against Simon’s body.

“Actually, this person who appeared matched Chrislyn in almost every detail.

“Even I couldn’t find a single clue that could give her away.

“But the strange thing was, when I faced her, I didn’t feel like I was with Chrislyn at all.

“I did feel guilty when I looked at that face, but when I looked into her eyes, I felt that the person sitting in front of me was not the friend who grew up with me at all.

“But this was just my own feeling. I don’t have any evidence now to prove that Chrislyn is an imposter.

“In addition, now that her corpse has gone missing, this matter has become even more complicated.”

The expression in Marina’s eyes was full of conflicting emotions.

“Who do you think these people are after?” Simon asked after a moment of silence,

Marina shook her head. “I’m not too sure either, but… they’re probably going after the Garcia family.”

“What do you plan to do now?” Simon asked.

“Stick to one principle to deal with the numerous changes. Let’s stay put first and see what exactly they’re up to,” Marina said.

“Alright. Let’s go with your plan,” Simon replied gently.

“Then I’ll go to the Garcia family’s place again later, Marina said. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Simon chimed in. T’ll go with you.”

“Okay.”

Muffled voices could be heard outside the study.

After Marina arrived at the Garcia family’s place, she stayed alone with Alfredo Garcia in the study for nearly an hour.

When they came out again, the emotions on Alfredo’s face had become somewhat conflicted.

“Since you put it this way, I’ll believe you this time. You can take him away.”

After saying that. Alfredo went straight back to his room.

Meanwhile, Marina was led by the butler to Jeffery Garcia’s room.

An hour later, Chrislyn’s doorbell rang.

Chrislyn, who was still holding her cell phone, stood up from the sofa almost immediately.

Thereafter, she quickly rushed to the door.

The moment she opened the door, she saw Jeffery standing outside.

Chrislyn’s eyes turned red–rimmed at once and she threw herself into Jeffery’s arms.

“Jeffery, you’re finally back…” Chrislyn tried vehemently to choke back her tears.

“I’m sorry for making you worry…” Jeffery raised his arms and hugged the person in front of him.

“No. It’s good as long as you’re back.” Chrislyn shook her head while leaning in his arms.

Then she raised her head to look at him again. “You don’t look too good. Are you sick?”

“No. I just knelt in the home chapel for three days.” Jeffery shook his head..

“Why are you so silly? Your grandfather dotes on you so much. It won’t matter if you just go along with his wishes, right?

“Just give in. Why do you have to insist on going against him?” When Chrislyn heard this, her eyes turned red–rimmed again.

“If I didn’t do that, would he agree to let me marry you?”

“What did you say?” As soon as Jeffery said this, Chrislyn’s expression instantly froze.

“Grandpa has already agreed to let me marry you,” Jeffery repeated.

“Really?” Chrislyn’s eyes lit up at once.

“Of course, it’s real. Otherwise, why do you think I’m here?” Jeffery raised his hand and gently brushed away the stray hairs on Chrislyn’s forehead.

“Jeffery, I’m so happy!” Chrislyn hugged Jeffery again.

Thitially, I thought that we would have a tough battle to fight next.

I was even mentally prepared to part with you.

“But I didn’t expect things to change overnight. Grandpa actually agreed to our marriage.

“Jeffery, today is truly the happiest day of my life!” Chrislyn’s voice was very emotionally–charged.

Even Jeffery, who was hugging her, could clearly sense it.

“How can it be the happiest day? In the future, we’ll be happy every day we’re together.” Jeffery said softly as he gently stroked her back.

That’s right. We have to be happy every day from now on!” Chrislyn was downright overjoyed.

Then, she suddenly remembered something and let go of Jeffery abruptly.

“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll get you something to eat. Come in and rest first.” After Chrislyn finished speaking, she pulled Jeffery into the room.

After pushing Jeffery down on the sofa, she immediately went to the kitchen.

Her tone and expression became exceptionally light–hearted and happy.

Even Jeffery, who was sitting on the sofa, could not ignore the joy emanating from Chrislyn.

At the same time, downstairs on the street, a black sedan was parked by the side of the road.

In the car, Marina raised her head to look at the room upstairs.

On her face, her eyes were flickering.

After a moment, she finally spoke.

“Let’s go back.”

“Mm–hmm,” Simon replied and drove away.

The next day, news spread in the circle that the Garcia family’s eldest grandson was about to get married.

For a while, there were heated discussions among the wealthy families in Janehorough.

After all, Jeffery Garcia had not appeared in public for many years.

Yet, the moment he showed up, it was to publicize his upcoming wedding.

Not only was everyone curious about Jeffery Garcia, but they were also very curious about the Garcia family’s eldest granddaughter–in–law.

After all, no one had heard news of any family discussing marriage with the Garcia family.

Meanwhile, Marina was accompanying Chrislyn to try on wedding gowns in the bridal shop.

“Marina, what do you think of this one?” The curtain was pulled aside. Chrislyn, who was wearing a wedding gown, slowly turned around and looked at Marina.
