Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 304

“Since there is no problem, what are you still standing here for?” Marina said, her voice tinged with a hint of sternness.

That was how she usually spoke to her subordinates.

Chrislyn wrestled with herself mentally for a while.

She answered with her head lowered, “Well, I’ll go get him here.”

With that, she left the room.

A moment later, the door was pushed open again.

This time, it was not Chrislyn who came in, but the man in the golden mask.

“Miss Bailey, are you feeling better now?” The masked man was not angry at Marina for bossing him around. Instead, his voice carried a hint of pleasure when he spoke.

He slowly walked up to Marina.

“What are you going to do if I say no? Get a few more people to kneel in front of me?” Marina said as she ate.

She looked elegant and calm, not showing the slightest doubt that the food might have been poisoned.

“If Miss Bailey wants to, I will get them here,” the man said, sounding as if he was smiling behind the mask.

“What if I want you to kneel?” Marina stopped eating and looked up at the man in front of her.

The masked man froze on the spot.

But he quickly came to his senses.

He slowly sat down opposite Marina.

“Miss Bailey, it’s a pleasure chatting with you,” said he.

“Really? I can’t see your expression because you’re wearing a mask. Why don’t you take it off and let me have a look?” Marina said slowly.

“It’s not the right time yet.”

“Since you don’t want me to see your face, you should at least tell me your name. I can’t just say ‘hi‘ every time I talk to you. right?” Marina put down the cutlery in her hand and said.

“You can call me Mr. Fermon.”

“Mr. Fermon?” Marina frowned.

“Yes.”

Marina mambled, “The surname is not very common.”

She then asked, “Why did you get me here?”

“Nothing special. I thought Miss Bailey was an interesting person and wanted to have a chat with you at my place,” Mr. Fermon replied, sounding quite sincere.

However, Marina did not believe him at all.

She just stared at him with a thoughtful look on her face.

Mr. Fermon did not lose his composure under her gaze.

As he said, Mr. Fermon did not do anything out of line in the next few days.

He even arranged for people to serve Marina carefully.

Other than not being able to leave the villa, Marina could do anything she wanted to do.

It was as if she was really an honored guest here.

She was surrounded by servants everywhere she went.

However, Chrislyn was not among them.

Marina never asked about her.

But she was puzzled as to why Mr. Fermon had got her here.

No matter what, she did not believe that he was doing this to make friends with her.

Marina was now lying leisurely on the recliner in the garden.

Two maids were standing behind her and fanning her.

On the coffee table beside her were various kinds of fresh fruits.

She was as relaxed as if she was on vacation.

Marina looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

She immediately sat up.

She narrowed her eyes and sized

up

the woman in the distance.

It was none other than Chrislyn, who had been missing for a few days.

She did not look good.

Her pale face made her look like she was ill.

It was noon, but she was mowing the lawn on her knees under the scorching sun without wearing a hat.

Marina could not help but frown.

“What is she doing?” she asked the maid who was fanning her from behind.

“Miss Bailey, she is mowing the lawn, the maid replied respectfully.

“Is this how you mow the lawn?” Marina asked with interest.

“No, we don’t usually mow the lawn like this. It’s probably she was punished because she angered the master. The maid glanced at Chrislyn, who was still kneeling on the lawn.

“Miss Bailey, if you don’t want to see her, I’ll ask her to go somewhere else.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The maid’s tone was full of disdain as she spoke.

Marina came to lier senses and realized that Chrislyn’s status here seemed to be even lower than the maid in front of her.

No need. I was just asking casually.” Marina quickly restrained the emotions in her eyes.

She then closed her eyes and took a nap.

When she woke up, she saw Chrislyn still kneeling on the lawn.

The garden was very large, and the tool in her hands seemed not suitable.

After such a long time, she only finished mowing a small part of the lawn.

Her face was even paler than before.

“Is her injury still not healed yet?

“She seems to have trouble moving, Marina thought.

After looking at Chrislyn for a moment, she stood up and walked toward her.

Chrislyn, who was trimming the grass despite her discomfort, suddenly saw a pair of feet in front of her.

She looked up and saw Marina.

Marina was standing in front of her with her back to the sun.

Her entire body was gilded with a faint glow.

It added a touch of holiness to her.

Memories suddenly flooded Chrislyn’s mind.

She felt as if she had returned to the past.

“Are you injured?” Marina asked.

Chrislyn had no idea if Marina noticed the complicated look in her eyes, nor did she expect her to ask such a question.

She paused for a moment before she answered, “It’s not serious.”

“Get up. I’ll take you to treat your wound,” Marina said.

“No need. I still have work to do,” Chrislyn rejected her offer.

She turned around and was about to continue trimming the grass with the scissors in her hand.

However, in the next moment, someone grabbed her arm and pulled her

1. up.

Caught off guard, Chrislyn dropped the scissors in her hand.

Marina had never been a dawdling person. Without saying anything more, she pulled Chrislyn into the villa.

The maids wanted to stop her, but they stopped in their tracks when they met Marina’s cold eyes.

Their master valued this young lady very much.

If they made her unhappy, they might end up even more miserable than Chrislyn.

However, they could not make the decision on their own.

So, they decided to report it to Mr. Fermon.

In the meanwhile, Marina had dragged Chrislyn back to the room.

After throwing her onto the sofa, she began to search for the first aid kit in the room.

A while later, she found it in the drawer under the television cabinet.

Although there were not many medicines in the box, it was enough to treat Chrislyn’s wound.

Marina returned with the first aid kit in her hands.

She said to Chrislyn coldly, “Take off your clothes.”
