Chapter 296


    “Did something happen?” Simon Hernandez, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, asked as he looked at


    Marina Bailey who


    never once uttered a word.


    “No.” Marina shook her head, but her eyes never left the phone screen.


    Then what are you looking at?” Simon was a little curious.


    What exactly was it that made her so focused?


    Even Simon could not attract a shred of her attention at all.


    “I’m looking at the surveince footage near Chrislyn Neil’s house,” Marina exined.


    Simon couldn’t help feeling astounded when he heard this.


    “Surveince footage?”


    ”


    “Mm–hmm.” Marina nodded. Then, she adjusted the controls on her cell phone to erge the


    surveince range a little.


    “There must be a mastermind behind this. They definitely won’t send Chrislyn back without asking for


    anything.


    “Therefore, they will definitely be secretly monitoring Chrislyn. I have to locate those people hiding in


    the dark as soon as possible.” Marina exined as she checked the surveince footage.


    “I know. What I’m confused about is, do you really need to personally keep an eye on something like


    this?” Simon asked.


    “I’ll feel more at ease if I keep an eye on it myself,” Marina said.


    This was something else. No doubt she only needed to issue Oscar and Lee an order and it would be


    sufficient.


    However, this time was different.


    This matter involved Chrislyn.


    Therefore, Marina had to do it herself.


    “But you’ll be very tired if you do this,” Simon said with a hint of heartache in his voice.


    He was wondering why Marina was holding her cell phone all the time these few days.


    Previously, he thought that she was ying with her cell phone. To his surprise, she was staring at the


    surveince footage.


    “It’s not somebor–intensive work. It’s fine.” Marina did not mind at all.


    Her eyes were still locked on the screen, looking for any suspicious characters.


    Simon did not say anything else when he saw that Marina insisted on doing this.


    If this matter was not resolved, she might very well carry on like this.


    The only thing he could do was to drive the car carefully to give her a smoother ride.


    Jeffery Garcia’s wedding preparation was conducted with great fanfare..


    It also attracted a lot of attention from the citizens of Janeborough.


    Marina was also busy helping Chrislyn with her wedding during this period.


    From the hotel to the decorations at the venue, the banquet menu to the guest invitations, though


    Chrislyn didn’t need to personally handle these matters, she still needed to make the final decision.


    On this day. Marina was apanying Chrislyn to have a taste test of the dishes for the wedding


    banquet in the hotel.


    The head chef was nearby serving them.


    “This time, our wedding banquet, including the appetizers and desserts, has a total of neen


    dishes.”


    “The symbolic meaning is the union willst forever. It uses only the freshest ingredients. Miss Neil, you


    can try it first. If there’s anything you don’t like, you can let us know any time.” The head chef’s attitude


    was very respectful.


    “Mm–hmm.” Chrislyn nodded.


    Then, she began to taste the dishes one by one.


    Marina had nothing much to say about these dishes.


    She was just here to keep Chrislynpany as a formality.


    However, just as Chrislyn wasmunicating with the head chef, a group of people suddenly walked


    into the restaurant.


    The person walking at the front could not help but be attracted by the beautiful figure in the hall.


    “Mr. Pembroke, did you meet someone you know?” The person behind Yenny Pembroke inquired


    cautiously when he saw that Yenny had stopped in his tracks.


    “You guys go upstairs first and wait for me,” Yenny instructed his staff before walking straight to the


    hall.


    “Miss Bailey.”


    Marina was sending a message to Simon when she suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice.


    When she raised her head and saw Yenny standing beside her, she instantly frowned.


    Then, she pretended not to see anything and continued to edit the message that she had not finished


    editing.


    “What are you doing, Miss Bailey?” Yenny did not seem to mind Marina’s indifference toward him.


    Instead, he looked at the dishes in front of the two women enthusiastically.


    Marina didn’t speak, and neither did Chrislyn.


    However, Chrislyn still stopped what she was doing and looked at Marina somewhat hesitantly.


    “This must be the wife of the Garcia family’s eldest grandson that everyone outside is talking about.


    She’s indeed beautiful. This can be considered a beautiful union.” Marina didn’t say anything, so Yenny


    ced his attention on Chrislyn to try to break the ice.


    Chrislyn was not acquainted with Yenny, but the other party had already guessed her identity, so she


    couldn’t possibly pretend not to understand anything.


    She only podded slightly.


    “Are you taste–testing the dishes meant for the banquet? I have some understanding of this aspect. If


    youdies don’t mind, 1 can lend a helping hand. Yenny said and prepared to sit down uninvited.


    However, Marina, who had been sending messages with her head lowered, kicked away the stool


    behind Yenny.


    Yenny’s body paused in midair in this posture.


    Chrislyn and the people nearby also noticed the unusual atmosphere between these two people.


    “Well, you guys can leave first. I’ll try the food myself. If there are any problems, I’ll look for you guys.”


    Chrislyn hurriedly. said to the head chef beside her.


    “Yes, Ma’am.” The head chef turned around and left after that.


    One had to know that in wealthy families like those these people hailed froin, there were too many


    secrets that could not be revealed to outsiders.


    It was better if the restaurant staff didn’t know so much.


    After the head chef and service staff left, only three people were left in the hall, namely Marina,


    Chrislyn, and Yenny.


    Marina, who had finally sent the message, raised her head then to look at Yenny in front of her.


    “Mr. Pembroke, I thought that after what happened previously, you should avoid me as much as


    possible.”


    “Miss Bailey, you are so beautiful. How can I avoid you?” Yenny’s expression could be construed as


    extremely sincere.


    However, Marina only smiled icily. “How does it feel to eat without being able to taste anything? Does it


    feel good?


    “I’m afraid you can’t even taste the dishes on the table in front of you. With your current state, you still


    have the cheek to ask me if I despise you?”


    When Yenny heard this, the expression on his face froze for a moment, but the expression quickly


    returned to normal.


    “Get out of my sight quickly. Otherwise, don’t me me for not showing you any courtesy,” Marina said


    in a somewhat threatening tone.


    She could not help ncing at Yenny’s arm.


    Yenny immediately clenched his fists.


    Thereafter, he revealed a refined and gentle smile.


    “Since you are so hostile to me, Miss Bailey, I shall not impose on you anymore.

    “However, there’s something I still have to remind you, Miss Bailey. Always leave a way out for others


    so that future encounters are not so awkward.


    “Don’t burn all the bridges behind you for the sake of one person.


    “Otherwise, when you need a way to retreat, you won’t be able to find anything.” There was a deeper


    meaning in Yenny’s


    words.


    However, Marina’s expression did not change at all.


    She simply yed with the cell phone in her hand somewhat impatiently.


    “You don’t have to worry about that. Hurry up and leave.”
