Chapter 35


    “Well, that’s because they have dementia, so they always can’t remember other people’s names,


    Marina said as she coldly snorted.


    Earl was left speechless.


    Gordon was left speechless too.


    Dr. Liam was a discerning person. After his gaze swept over Marina and several members of the


    Campbell family, he realized that their rtionship with Marina might not be good.


    “Mr. Campbell, I saved you before because someone begged me to do so,” Marina said. “If there is any


    debt of gratitude, it is that person who owes me. You owe me no debt of gratitude. So, you don’t need


    topensate me for anything. I’ll pass on today’s meal. I can’t really eat anything anyway.”


    Marina nced at Gordon. She then turned around to leave the private room.


    Simon was naturally pleased with Marina’s decision, but before leaving, he gave Gordon a meaningful


    look.


    The emotions in his eyes were difficult to decipher, making it hard for people to know what he was truly


    thinking.


    After Simon and Marina left, Dr. Liam’s expression turned cold.


    “Mr. Campbell, I used to think that you are one of the few discerning people in this circle, but now it


    seems that I am wrong.” Dr. Liam said with a cold expression. “From now on, let’s have less contact.”


    After Dr. Liam finished talking, he turned around and left as well.


    After all, as a fervent “little” fan of Marina, anyone who was disliked by his idol was surely not a good


    person.


    “Dr. Liam!” After hearing Dr. Liam’s words which sounded like a deration of breaking off their


    rtionship, Jacob wanted


    up with him.


    to catch


    However, Earl immediately stopped him.


    “Dad, why did you stop me?” Jacob said, looking puzzled. “I need to exin things clearly to Dr. Liam.


    You know, as long as we have his friendship, it would be beneficial for our family!”


    “I understand Dr. Liam’s temperament better than you do,” Earl said. “Now that he has said those


    words, there is no point in chasing after him.” Earl had the clearest perspective on the matter.


    “Well, um…” Jacob looked frustrated. “What is going on here?” he said. “What is Caroline’s identity?


    Why is Dr. Liam afraid of her?”


    “Do you know anything about her identity, Gordon?” Jacob asked as he turned to look at Gordon.


    Gordon shook his head.


    Caroline had never told him that she had medical skills.


    “Perhaps what Dr. Liam said is true,” Earl said as he looked intensely in the direction where Marina had


    left. “We really have misjudged the situation this time around.”


    After getting injured, Earl retreated to the manor on the mountain to recuperate.


    He rarely left the manor.


    Even when Gordon got married, he did note down from the manor.


    This was because the Campbell family did not agree with the marriage at that time. Hence, the


    wedding ceremony was not held.


    Naturally, Earl did not care about Marina at all.


    He knew very well that Gordon saw Marina as someone to be used.


    Young people always had a rebellious phase.


    Unless they crossed the line, Earl usually did not intervene.


    This exined why he did not show any concern or reaction when Marina went missing back then.


    On reflection, he realized that that was a huge mistake.


    “She really hid it well,” Jacob said with a snort. “She didn’t even tell us about that!”


    “When I found her, she didn’t remember anything that happened before,” Gordon exined, speaking


    up for Marina. “She didn’t intend to deceive us.”


    “I saw the way Dr. Liam treated her,” Jacob said. “If we can win her over, Dr. Liam will surely be of use


    to us! Gordon, didn’t she use to like you a lot? Hurry up and try to win her back!”


    Jacob fixed his intense gaze on Gordon.


    “Dad, I’ve said it before,” Gordon said. “I’ll only marry Sophia in my life!” Upon hearing Jacob’s


    remarks, Gordon could not help but show a hint of disgust in his eyes.


    “What is so good about Sophia?” Jacob asked. “She is just a girl from a small and insignificant family.


    She is not worthy of marrying into our family! She won’t be of any help to your future either!” Jacob’s


    tone became harsher as he heard Gordon’s refusal.


    “So, in your mind, marriage is just a tool to boost your career, huh?” Gordon said. “Did you marry my


    mother for the same reason?” Gordon had been suppressing his emotions all along, but he could not


    hold back any longer upon hearing hist father’s words.


    “Smack!” The sound of a p could be heard.


    Jacob pped Gordon directly across the face.


    “Is this how you speak to me?” Jacob said. “Have you forgotten all your manners and education?”


    Jacob’s face turned livid with anger.


    Gordon’s head was knocked to one side by the force of the blow, and he could even taste a faint hint of


    blood in his mouth.


    But his gaze was filled with mockery.


    “I’m not dead yet,” Earl said. “What are you all doing?” Earl pounded his cane heavily on the ground.


    “Grandpa, I have some matters to attend to and I won’t be able to give you a ride back,” Gordon said.


    “Please take care of yourself on the way back.” Gordon suppressed his emotions and spoke to Earl


    beforepletely ignoring Jacob as he strode out of the private room.


    “Look, Dad,” Jacob said. “He has the exact same temper as his mother. Sooner orter, he will drive


    me crazy!”


    “You should hold your tongue,” Earl said. “You know very well that Gordon hates it when you bring up


    those things!”


    “But what I said is not wrong,” Jacob said. “Marriage should be about finding a wise and virtuous


    spouse.”


    Earl was left speechless.


    Even as he left, Gordon could still faintly hear the conversation in the private room.


    The mockery in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.


    He then strode away.

    Meanwhile, Marina had no idea about what happened in the private room after she left. She had


    already gotten into the car with Simon.


    “Do you have anything to attend to for the rest of the day?” Simon asked politely.


    “I don’t have anything to attend to, Marina said. Everything at thepany was going well, so she was


    now considered a half-idler.


    “Are you interested in going somewhere with me?” Simon asked.


    Before Marina replied, Simon drove away.


    Marina was left speechless.


    “What’s the point of asking that question?” Marina asked as she turned to look at Simon.


    Simon replied, “To show off my gentlemanly demeanor.”


    Marina asked, “Is this how your family shows gentlemanly demeanor?”


    Simon replied, “My dad always says that when ites to pursuing someone you love, gentlemanly


    demeanor is equivalent to being persistent and never giving up.”


    Marina was left speechless.


    “Hmm, your father is really bold-faced, Marina said. She could not help but twitch the corners of her


    lips.


    “Thank you for thepliment,” Simon said in a calm tone. “I will convey your praise to him.”


    Marina was left speechless.


    “Was what I just said apliment?” Marina thought.


    After a few interactions, Marina realized that Simon had a unique ability to understand things.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She was toozy to correct him anymore.


    Since she knew that he would not sell her off, she decided to make the most of the opportunity to


    replenish her own strength.


    Marina slept for more than half an hour in one go.


    By the time she woke up, the car had alreadye to a stop.


    Outside the car, there was a very ssical-looking building.
