Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 342

Chapter 342

Because the box was filled with all kinds of treasures.

“Is this the legendary Heart of the Ocean? I remember it was brought away by a mysterious buyer ten years ago in an auction and has since disappeared from public view.

“I did not expect it to end up in your hands.” Sam was the first to come back to his senses.

He immediately walked over to the box on his left.

He had wanted to bid this gem from the auction for his wife back then.

However,

mysterious buyer outbid him later on.

The buyer raised a bid of up to 20 million dollars and was awarded.

Sam did not expect it to be Simon.

“That’s right. This is the Heart of the Ocean.” Simon said calmly.

Sam then looked at the other boxes.

Inside were items with prices starting in the 7 figures.

Moreover, the items inside were mostly collections of great value.

Even if you had the money, you might not have been able to buy them.

The Bailey family was the kind of family that had seen much of life.

However, bringing such a lavish gift on the first visit was still surprising, to be honest.

“I came in a hurry today, so the gifts might not match Mr. and Mrs. Bailey’s preferences.

“Please accept these things for now, and I will carefully prepare another gift for a future visit,” spoke Simon with great respect.

Sam was completely speechless about the scene in front of him.

Something more valuable than that?

Simon looked so young, but how many good things did he own behind him?

“I won’t disturb you any longer.” Simon nodded slightly at Sam and Mary.

Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.

“Hold on!” However, Mary suddenly called out to him from the side.

For a moment, all eyes turned to her.

“It seems that Mr. Hernandez is not young as he looks. I have already explained it so clearly just now. Did you not hear a single

word?”

“Honey!” Sam hurriedly spoke up.

“Mom!” Marina could not hold it in anymore.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?” Mary asked in a low voice.

* Marina took a deep breath and walked up to Simon.

She grabbed his hand.

Simon immediately lowered his head and glanced at her.

Marina replied with a faint smile before looking back at her mother again.

“Mom, let me formally introduce him to you.

“This is my fiancé, Simon Hernandez.

Chapter 342

“He had already asked for Grandpa’s permission to marry me before, and Grandpa had agreed.

“But it doesn’t matter even if Grandpa did not agree. Anyway, I’ve already decided that I won’t marry anyone but him in this lifetime!”

After Marina finished speaking, she did not wait for Mary’s response.

She just held Simon’s hand and walked toward the door.

Sam moved his lips, seemingly wanting to stop them.

But after looking at Mary’s grim face, he gave up in the end.

He could only watch helplessly as Marina and Simon disappeared through the door..

Only after the two of them had left did Sam turn his head and look at Mary beside him.

“Honey, I think that young man seems not bad. Why don’t you like him?” Sam’s voice was still a little cautious.

“Do you need a reason not to like someone?” Mary glared at Sam.

Then, she turned around and prepared to go upstairs..

However, just as she reached the stairs, she turned around and glanced at the boxes in the living room.

“Either take these things away now, or I’ll have them thrown into the garbage later!”

Mary snorted, and her pace upstairs did not slow down this time.

At the same time, on Marina’s side.

She was sitting in the front passenger seat.

Her expression did not look good, and she was only staring angrily at the road ahead.

“Are you still angry?” Simon, sitting in the driver’s seat, could not help but ask when he saw Marina’s expression.

“I’m sorry.” Upon hearing Simon’s voice, she immediately turned around and apologized to him.

“Why are you apologizing to me when everything’s fine?” Simon’s expression did not change much.

It was as if he had never gone through the situation just now.

“It’s probably because of work. My mom has a rather rigid and stubborn personality.

“Also, my dad dotes on her a lot. He usually listens to her arrangements for family matters.

“It’s just that I have never seen her behave so rudely before.

“I had only guessed whether they would agree or not, but I never expected my mom to say those words.

“I apologize to you on her behalf.” Marina’s tone was firm.

After listening, Simon suddenly burst into laughter.

“I thought it was something serious. Your mother didn’t do anything wrong in this matter.”

“What… did you mean?” Marina wondered if she was hallucinating.

“You’re their precious daughter who they have pampered since childhood. Now suddenly, there’s someone like me who wants to take you away completely.

“If I were your parents, I would definitely not be welcoming someone who came to propose either.”

Simon’s words were extremely serious.

Marina stared at him for a moment without noticing any clues.

He meant what he said….

“You really…” Marina did not know what to say anymore.

“Don’t worry. I’ll handle your parents. Just wait patiently and leave it to me.” Seeing Marina’s silence, Simon spoke again.

Chapter 342

How to handle it?

She knew her mother’s personality well, and even her grandfather could not do anything about it.

However, Marina did not discourage Simon’s confidence either.

She would face this matter together with him.

She simply nodded at him, then thought of something else and asked.

“By the way, how did you manage to let my father win?”

Her father had always been addicted to something he was not capable of.

He indeed did not have any talent in chess.

Although he had spent a lot of time on it, it was basically useless.

Even the maid who prepared meals for the family was better at chess than him.

However, he especially liked to compete with others.

If you beat him, he would keep bothering you to play with him until he won.

However, this victory could only be one that he truly believed he achieved.

If he realized that you were going easy on him on purpose, then he would keep bothering you for days.

Most of the people in the Bailey family had suffered from his bother.

That was why Marina had warned Simon so earnestly before.

But she did not expect that Simon would actually let her father win in the end.

“Mr. Bailey’s chess skills are superb, so it was easy for him to win.” Simon smiled.

“There are only the two of us in the car now. There’s no need for you to pretend anymore. Do you think I don’t know about my

dad’s

chess skills?”

Marina gave Simon a meaningful look.
