Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel
Chapter 137

Chapter 137

“Is this Akister Treasure really that tempting?” Marina raised her voice slightly. 

“Great wealth and the mysterious power that can overturn the world are tempting enough for any party,” Simon said calmly, 

“Are you looking for this treasure also for money and power?” Marina looked at Simon with a deep gaze. 

“No.” But Simon denied it. 

“No? Then why are you looking for this thing?” Marina was a little surprised to hear that. 

“Because of a truth.” Simon looked at the golden bead in his hand. His eyes seemed to be filled with a mist that could not be seen through clearly. 

A truth? 

What truth could there be in this treasure? 

Did he want to verify whether it was real or fake? 

“Since you’re also interested in this treasure, I’ll just give this bead to you.” Marina restrained the emotions in her eyes and said casually. 

“To me?” When Simon heard this, his expression could not help but freeze. 

This was the first time he was so surprised. 

“Didn’t you give me this as well? Take this as my return gift to you.” Marina glanced at the golden ring on her finger. 

“So… is this your love token for me?” Simon’s eyes shimmered. 

A love token? 

This guy was really thinking too much! 

“It’s not a love token. It’s nothing but a thank–you gift. I can’t just give you such an expensive gift for no reason, right?” Marina immediately explained. 

“Marina, I understand your intentions. I’ll keep this safe.” Simon, who did not really want it previously, put away the golden bead solemnly. 

“I already told you that this is not a love token!” Marina explained to him again. 

“Marina, you don’t have to be so shy. Love is just human nature. I’m very happy that you’re thinking about me.” Simon’s eyes were torching. 

Marina was speechless. 

She suddenly regretted making this trip. 

“Well, I’ve returned the car and this thing to you. I gotta go now.” After the previous few times, Marina knew that correcting Simon’s thoughts was the hardest thing to do in the entire world. 

Anyway, it was fine as long as she knew what she had given. 

Marina waved her hand and was about to leave. 

“Aren’t you staying today?” Simon quickly asked. 

“No, I still have something to deal with.” She had not investigated the people who were hunting Quantum down. 

She had to deal with it at the source so that she could avoid future troubles. 

“Then I’ll drive you back. You’ve already returned the car to me. You can’t walk back by yourself, right?” Simon said. 

“No need, I have a car.” Marina took out her phone and called Lee. 

A moment later, a black car stopped at the entrance of Simon’s house. 

Simon didn’t know what to say. 

Did her two bodyguards follow her everywhere? 

She came over to give him a love token. Was there a need to bring these two? 

“I gotta go.” Marina did not notice the hard feelings in Simon’s eyes. She said goodbye casually and bent down to get into the car. 

As soon as the door closed, Lee stepped on the accelerator and the car immediately sped away. 

Simon had no words now. 

He felt that this bod driving skills were learned from his master. 

It wasn’t until Marina’s car completely disappeared from his sight that Simon looked away. 

Then, he turned around and entered the house. 

In the study. 

The bead that Marina had given him was placed on the desk. 

After Gavin heard what happened, he was a little stunned. 

“Miss Bailey really gave this golden bead to you?” 

“Didn’t you 

Simon’s tone was filled with joy. 

a really the same kind of people. No wonder you can be together,” Gavin whispered. 

“You and Miss Bailey 

Such a precious thing was 

She didn’t even blink whe 

de him certain that Marina was indeed the person who could stand by Mr. Hernandez’s side. 

However, this also made 

“We’ve been searching for this golden bead for a long time. We didn’t expect it to end up in Miss Bailey’s hands,” Gavin exclaimed. 

“Release the news that the golden bead has become mine. Don’t let them disturb Marina,” Simon said firmly. 

“Mr. Hernandez, you’re really going all out for Miss Bailey. You should know that there are many factions that are keeping their eyes on this bead,” Gavin exclaimed. 

Now, he suddenly had a big headache because of Mr. Hernandez’s relationship. 

“So what? Since Marina is willing to give this bead to me as a love token, can’t I help her solve some small problems?” Simon’s tone was a little cold. 

“Of course, you can!” Gavin quickly replied. 

He was just saying that. 

After all, compared to this golden bead, no matter how much trouble there was, it was worth it. 

Meanwhile, Marina had returned to the Bailey family’s house. 

At this moment, she was in the study looking for news about the people chasing after Quantum. 

When she checked, she was a little shocked. 

Almost everyone who had some power at home and abroad participated in this. 

More importantly, Marina also discovered some people in the government among this group of people. 

Was this treasure really that tempting? 

It even lured the authorities to participate. 

Marina looked at the golden ring in her hand again. 

With so many people chasing after her relentlessly, she was somehow intrigued. 

As Marina investigated the clues, she erased information about Quantum and released some fake news. 

Almost half of the people that were chasing after them had been deceived by the fake news. 

As long as Quantum obediently stayed in the Bailey family’s house, they would definitely not be able to discover him. 

By the time Marina finished dealing with all of this, the sky outside the window had already lit up. 

Marina got up and yawned. She did not plan to go to sleep anymore. 

After all, without Simon by her side, she would probably lose sleep anyway. 

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. 

“Marina, are you awake?” It was Jessica’s voice. 

Marina immediately went forward to open the door. 

“Didn’t the servant say that you moved to Peter’s place? Why did you come back today without telling me?” Looking at Jessica standing at her door, 

Marina was a little surprised. 

For the past few days, they had hardly seen each other. They had not even talked on their phones. 

However, looking at Jessica, Marina could clearly feel that she had changed a little. 

Her back seemed to have straightened a little, and the timidity on her face seemed to have receded a little. 

It seemed that she had let loose a lot when she was by Peter’s side. 

“I have something that I need your help with,” Jessica said after hesitating for a moment.
