Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 420



Chapter 420

“What’s the situation now?” Marina sat on the sofa and looked at the assistant in front of her seriously.

“I don’t know much either. I only know that Mr. Moore suddenly called me when he went alone for a site inspection.

“He said he has something on and might be away for a while. He asked me to lead the team here to continue inspecting the

site.

“But after that call, I couldn’t contact Mr. Moore anymore, no matter what. I was worried that something would happen to Mr. Moore, so I called Madam”

The assistant was talking about Daisy.

“Was there anything strange about him during the whole site inspection? Or did he mention anything unrelated to the work to you?” Marina continued to ask.

The assistant thought for a moment, then shook his head.

“Mr. Moore has completely become a workaholic during this period. Every day, he only discusses work matters with me.

“We’re here this time to inspect the place for the new movie. Mr. Moore didn’t do anything unusual.”

Marina frowned even more after hearing this.

It seemed like the assistant in front of her did not know that Peter had met Lambert during this trip.

It turned out that Peter met Lambert when he went out alone for a site inspection.

It was very likely that Lambert was in danger, which was why Peter called Daisy.

Peter probably wanted to help Lambert.

However, there must have been an accident in between, so they lost contact with Peter too.

“Miss Bailey, Mr. Moore should be fine, right?” Seeing Marina’s serious expression, the assistant panicked.

When he could not contact Peter, he thought Peter was focusing on work again.

After all, ever since the incident at the wedding, Mr. Moore had been focused on work.

Sometimes, he traveled the world looking for a location that fits a particular scene.

And when he focused on work, he usually did not pick up calls.

Therefore, on the first day, the assistant was not too worried.

He only left a message for Peter to notify him when he saw it.

However, the assistant was anxious when he couldn’t contact Peter the next day.

Now that he saw Marina like this, he was even more vexed.

He should have called Ms. Daisy the moment he could not contact Peter.

“I’m not sure yet. You should bring the team back first. Leave the matters here to me.” Marina was lost and could not say too much to the assistant.

“I’ll stay here. I’ve been here for almost half a month, and more familiar with this place. I might be able to help a little if 1 stay.” The assistant blamed himself for not informing them of Peter’s disappearance earlier.

He just wanted to do something to make up for his mistake.

“Alright, then arrange for the other staff to return first.” Marina thought for a while and agreed.

“Okay. The assistant immediately went to make arrangements for the return trip.

Meanwhile, Marina did not get much useful information from the assistant.

She could only think of other ways.

She immediately contacted Quantum.

She asked him to see if anything abnormal had happened in Lauritius.

Quantum immediately started investigating.

In the following days. Marina and Simon searched for Lambert almost every day.

Marina only slept for one or two hours a day.

Simon’s heart ached as he watched from the side, but he knew he could not persuade her.

10.59 f

He could only help her find clues as much as possible.

At noon.

Marina had been working continuously for nearly ten hours.

Her eyes were bloodshot.

Simon could not stand it anymore and forced her to go to bed to rest.

He also said that he would wake her up in an hour.

Only then did Marina reluctantly go to bed to rest.

Meanwhile, Simon had just put a blanket over Marina.

Gavin walked in from outside.

When Simon saw his expression, he immediately stood up and walked out.

Then, he gently closed the door.

After the two of them walked to the living room, Simon asked.

“Is there any news?”

“Yes!” Gavin nodded.

However, there was no joy on his face.

As soon as Simon saw him, he knew it was not good news.

“Is he still alive?” Simon asked in a deep voice.

“Our people found an unidentified corpse. From the looks of it, it has been soaking in the sea for nearly a week.

“His face is so swollen that his original appearance can’t be seen anymore. I’ve sent someone to do a verification,” Gavin said.

“Who is it?” Simon’s expression darkened.

“It’s Lambert,” Gavin said after a moment of silence.

Simon clenched his fists.

“Are you sure?” Simon asked again.

“Before I came here, I had asked someone to run a few tests. The results of every test are the same. Gavin also hoped that there was an error in the test.

But the truth was just that cruel.

“Where is he now?” Simon raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.

“I’ve settled him down. Mr. Hernandez, are you going to tell Miss Bailey about this?” Gavin asked tentatively.

Simon did not answer immediately.

He just paced back and forth.

Marina had always taken her family very seriously.

Every time she went on a business trip, she would carefully prepare gifts for her family.

She was also very concerned about her family’s opinions.

From the fact that she had only slept for an hour or two every day for the past few days, it could be seen how much she cared about Lafnbert and the others.

If he told her now that Lambert was already dead, he could not imagine what she would do.

“You can leave first. Continue to track down Peter. I’ll tell her about Lambert. There was a hint of fatigue in Simon’s voice.

For the past few days, he had been staying up late with Marina.

He did not sleep much at all.

He originally wanted to find Lambert and Peter as soon as possible.

However, he did not expect such an outcome.

“Alright, Gavin replied and left.

Simon took a deep breath and waited for himself to calm down before slowly walking into the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Marina was still sleeping soundly.

She was probably exhausted, so even when Simon got into bed, she didn’t move.

Simon gently pulled her into his arms.

The expression on his face kept changing.

He was thinking about how to tell Marina about this.

Marina did not sleep well either.

In her dream, she dreamed of Lambert. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She quickly stepped forward, wanting to get close to him.

But no matter how fast she ran, the distance would not shorten.

Marina became even more anxious and only ran faster.

However, Lambert suddenly disappeared in front of her.

“Lambert!” Marina woke up in a panic.
