Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 7

“It’s really just a misunderstanding. Caroline, if you really like that bedding set, then take it. I can wait a

little longer.”

Sophia seemed to be intimidated by Peter’s eyes and only spoke softly.

This was her usual tactic.

She would pretend to be very weak and innocent in front of men.

Marina heard this and gave a quiet laugh.

This woman was really living the definition of a bitch all the time.

“Who the hell do you think you are? Do I need you to give me what I like?” Marina lifted her eyes coldly

and taunted nonchalantly.

Sophia’s face instantly turned a few shades whiter.

She almost bit her teeth.

She didn’t know how this woman dared to humiliate her like this.

“Caroline!” Gordon was also a bit angry, but Peter stepped in front of Marina just before he opened his

mouth.

The two people were looking at each other.

There was a vague hint of sparks in the air.

“Gordon, I owe it to Caroline. It’s only right to let her scold me a few times. Don’t be angry.” Sophia

pulled Gordon back in a hurry

Her acting skills were getting more and more sophisticated.

However, Marina just gave her a cold look and beckoned the store manager.

“Memorize both of their faces for me. Take a picture, and later put a sign in front of the store to put up a

picture of them both.”

“Write: Dogs and these two people are not allowed inside!” Marina’s red lips flicked open.

Poof…

Peter, who was standing next to her, immediately burst out laughing.

She sure qualified with his calling her Your Highness. He was pleased with her for doing this!

The manager looked up at Peter, who was standing next to him, and seemed to be asking for his

opinion.

“From now on, Miss Bailey’s word is my word. Do as you are told.” Peter lifted his eyelids.

“Okay, boss!” The manager, a man of vision, hastily changed his title.

Peter was the big boss behind the scenes of their store.

He usually kept a low profile, but it was evident that someone was bullying their boss.

This time, he could not be low–key again.

“Boss? Does Peter actually own this store?” She thought.

A hint of malice crossed Sophia’s eyes, but it was quickly suppressed again.

She put on a new look of pity.

“Caroline, I’ve always been tolerant at every turn because you suffered a lot because of me back then,

but why do you have to be so aggressive?”

Sophia’s eyes were instantly tinged with a hint of red.

“Caroline, don’t go too far!” As soon as Gordon saw Sophia in this state, his face was also stern.

No one had ever dared to insult him like this before.

“I have more outrageous ones. Do you want to try?” But Marina met Gordon’s gaze without fear.

“You…” Gordon’s hands hanging at his side were balled into fists.

“What? Want a fight? Let’s do it.” Peter rolled up his sleeves.

Gordon’s thin lips were about to twist into a straight line.

His fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened.

Finally, he let go.

His upbringing wouldn’t allow him to get into a fistfight with someone in public.

“Let’s go.” Marina tossed the sterile paper towel into a nearby trash can.

Then she told Peter that this place was too crowded for a fight.

Moreover, she had a headache now and desperately wanted to sleep.

“Okay, let’s go back first.” Peter looked at Marina’s reaction and knew that her old problem was getting

to her again.

He didn’t waste any more time with Gordon and the others.

He turned around and carefully assisted Marina in leaving.

But Gordon’s gaze was always on Marina’s body.

His gaze did not return until they had gone far away.

When Sophia saw him like this, a feeling of unease arose in her heart, and her hand holding him could NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

not help but tighten up.

She then spoke quietly.

“No wonder Caroline left so resolutely at the beginning and did not even want your compensation. It

turns out she has already found herself a substitute.”

Sophia’s words were meaningful.

Gordon’s face also darkened at this.

“I did not expect her to be so depraved now!” The bottom of Gordon’s eyes was tinged with a bit of

disgust.

“Caroline is good–looking, and there are many temptations around her. She probably didn’t manage to

by her principles this time.

“But seeing how she was so proud of herself just now, I’m sure Mr. Moore is treating her well.” Sophia

continued to stir up troubles.

The moment Gordon saw Caroline, his eyes showed a clear glimpse of awe.

She had always known that the woman was good–looking.

It was precisely because of this that she decided to get rid of the trouble for good in the first place.

It was just that she didn’t expect this woman to be so lucky, not only to be living well but also to have

hooked up with Peter.

She found that she had really underestimated her!

“She thinks she’s going to look good forever? Peter’s a loose cannon. He’s got a lot of women around

him. She thinks he’s going to make a princess of her forever?” Gordon snorted.

“That was Caroline’s choice, too. You’ve done the best you can for her,” Sophia said softly.

Gordon sulked and didn’t respond again.

When she left back then, he did look for her.

It was as if she had evaporated, and there was no trace of her.

He thought she was in some accident and felt slightly guilty.

Now that he thought about it, she had changed her name and got involved with Peter.

“Miss Bailey? Humph, when Peter abandons her, she better not run back to him and cry!” he cursed

secretly.

In the car, Marina kept her eyes closed and pretended to sleep.

Peter’s eyes went back and forth on her several times.

He looked like he wanted to say something.

“Don’t ask. I can handle it myself,” Marina spoke in a mute voice.

“Really? Without my help?” Peter sounded concerned.

He was not stupid. Those two people obviously knew Marina.

But he grew up with her. He knew all the people she knew.

But he didn’t know those two people. The only possibility was that they were the people Marina had

known. during the three years she was missing.

And that man’s attitude towards Marina was not good at all.

Marina must have suffered a loss at their hands, so he was planning to check it out.

“You should not get involved in this matter. I want to solve it myself!” Marina obviously saw through

Peter’s mind and explained in a deep voice.

“Okay then.” Peter listened to Marina’s tone. There was no room for negotiation, so he only whispered

a

sentence.

“However, if there is something you need my help with, be sure to tell me!” But he still added a

sentence

afterward.

“Hmm.” Marina squeezed a syllable out of her throat and then stopped talking.

Peter knew she was tired and didn’t disturb her rest anymore.

Half an hour later, Peter arrived with Marina in front of a mid–level villa.

“I know you like to be quiet now, so I especially found such a secluded and nice place for you.”

“The view over here is not bad, and it’s not far from where I live now.”

“I’ve got someone to clean up the inside, so you can rest when the people from the store bring the

bed,” Peter spoke.

“Okay,” Marina responded lightly.

The staff at the store came quickly, and before Peter could chat for a few minutes, the other party had

already. brought the things over.

Because he knew Marina had a cleanliness problem, he personally made the bed for her.

“Your Highness, how was it?” Peter looked like he was asking for praise.

“Tolerable,” Marina said with a sweeping glance.

“Only tolerable?” Peter raised an eyebrow.

“Stand down. I’m going to take a shower and rest.” Marina, however, didn’t even give him a look and

headed straight for the bathroom.

She was very anxious to sleep now!

But she, who had a mania for neatness, could not tolerate going to bed without showering.

“Got it!” Peter answered with a fake voice and bent extremely obediently to back out.

Marina braced herself and took a shower before burying herself in that big, soft bed.

She let her consciousness fall into darkness.

But in a daze, Marina felt a hot stove lying beside her.
