Chapter 263
After Gavin left, Yenny’s assistant could not sit still and spoke up, saying. “They are clearly trying to
intimidate us.”
“Why does it matter if they are trying to intimidate us? We have already suffered a setback from
someone’s scheme. Should we not allow them to provoke us?” Yenny turned his head and nced at
his assistant.
The assistant immediately lowered his head. “It is all my fault. I should have been more thorough in
checking”
“If even I did not notice, how can you im to have been careful?” Yenny responded as he slowly
ced the teacup down.
Then he closed his eyes slowly and rxed in thefortable chair behind him. He could not move
anymore, yet there was no sense of urgency. It was as if he hadplete confidence that nothing
would happen to him.
Marina and Simon, who had been monitoring Yenny in the office, showed subtle changes in their
expressions.
“Yenny is really good at enduring. Look at his left hand, he has not moved it since he came in. It is
evident that he has lost most of the sensation in that hand. If it were someone else, they would have
been unable to remain calm after being ignored for almost an hour. But his face does not show any
signs of panic. He is truly an opponent to be cautious of,” remarked Marina, her eyes tinged with
curiosity.
“It is about time. Continuing to show off will not have any effect, Simon said. He understood Yenny’s
temperament very
well.
“Hmm, alright.” Marina nodded and stood up, supporting herself with her hand on the chair.
Simon looked at her with concern and asked, “Can your body hold up?”
“What cannot my body withstand? I am not fighting him like before. Besides, this is your territory. On
your turf, can he bully me?” Marina smiled.
“You are right. I will not let him harm you again.” Simon tightly held Marina’s hand.
“Then let us go. It is our turn to be bold and arrogant this time!” Marina’s lips revealed a hint of
determination.
When the reception room door was pushed open again, Yenny saw Simon and Marina walking in hand
in hand.
Yenny’s gaze first swept over Simon. He noticed that he was impably dressed from head to toe, and
even hisplexion. was exceptionally good. Humpback had been useless. Not only did he fail to kill
Simon, but he did not even leave a scratch. What a worthless man!
This happened instantly, and Yenny quickly shifted his gaze to Marina beside them.
“Miss Bailey, yourplexion seems a bit off. Have you been feeling unwelltely?” Yenny asked.
When Simon heard this, a hint of surprise shed in the depths of his eyes. When his brother, Robert,
left, he mentioned that Yenny had wanted to propose to Marina.
Marina had deliberately applied makeup when she came over. It was to conceal her paleplexion
and deceive Yenny. But he still saw through it at a nce. This indicated that he had indeed paid a lot
of attention to Marina. Otherwise, he would not have observed so carefully.
“I am in perfectly good health, but Mr. Pembroke seems to be seriously ill,” Marina smiled faintly.
“Miss Bailey, you’re truly remarkable. Could this be your doing?” Yenny asked casually.
“Haven’t you already deduced the truth?” Marina snorted.
“Miss Bailey, you continue to impress me more and more.” Yenny stared at Marina with admiration,
refraining from probing
further.
You see, beautiful women are abundant, but finding someone gorgeous but also intelligent and
resourceful is rare.
“I have something even more surprising for you. Would you like to find out?” Marina challenged. She
stood with her hands behind her back, her face contemtive as she gazed at Yenny.
Yenny raised an eyebrow but did not respond immediately.
Marina directed her gaze toward his left hand. She challenged calmly, “It must be ufortable not to
have any sensation. Tell me, would the Pembroke Group appoint a disabled person as their CEO, Mr.
Pembroke?”
“You people who only know how to poison others from behind are truly treacherous!” the assistant
interjected angrily.
He had not expected Marina to be behind this, and she was even admitting it so openly.
“Compared to your CEO, Mr. Pembroke, we are merely child’s y,” Marina said indifferently.
“You!” The assistant’s face turned red with anger.
However, Marina had no intention of wasting any more time on him.
She turned her gaze directly to Yenny, and proposed, “I can indeed cure your hand, but you have to
give me the key to release Edward from his hypnotic state.”
Upon hearing Marina’s words, Yenny’s expression momentarily changed, but he quickly regained his
composure.
Simon, who was standing beside Marina all along, was also taken aback by her words. He wondered,
“Is this the deal she wants to make with Yenny? Shouldn’t it be about making himpensate her?
What’s going on…”
“Miss Bailey, what do you mean by that? I’m having a bit of trouble understanding,” Yenny responded
as he calmly fixed his gaze on Marina.
“Don’t act clueless with me. You should know more about Edward than I do,” Marina emphasized each
word.
“Hasn’t Edward been missing for many years? So, have you found him?” Yenny continued in a slow
and rxed manner.
“Yenny, you’re exposing yourself even before I’ve said anything. You should know that people believe
Edward is already dead. After all, the family issued a public statement back then. How did you know
that Edward was missing?” Marina looked at Yenny with a yful smile.
Yenny’s expression froze momentarily. After a brief pause, a faint smile appeared. “Engaging in a
conversation with you allows no room for rxation.”
“I do not have much patience. If you continue to act clueless, I can assure you that not only will you
lose that hand of yours, but even your life will be at stake!” Marina’s eyes filled with a threatening gaze.
“How did you find out?” Yenny directly asked. With the conversation reaching this point, Yenny no
longer pretended to be ignorant.
The matter of Edward being hypnotized had cost him a great deal. He had employed a highly skilled
master to aplish it. That master had said that under normal circumstances, very few people could
detect it. So how did Marina manage to

find out?
