Chapter 3
Sophia had previously thought that the important guest of the airport who could make such a serious scene would be an influential leader.
Sophia couldn’t help but purse her red lips.
“These young ladies from rich families are now making such a big splash when they go out.” Sophia hid her jealousy as she spoke.
Even she didn’t show up with such a big splash.
“If you like it, I can arrange it for you next time,” Gordon parted his lips and said.
“I don’t want it. I just need you,” Sophia tightened her grip on Gordon’s arm and said coquettishly.
“Okay,” Gordon said as the emotion under his eyes instantly tenderized.
On the other side, the bodyguard had already escorted the beautiful woman into the underground parking lot.
However, the person who was supposed to be waiting there did not appear.
Behind the sunglasses, the woman’s beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.
Just as she was about to make a phone call, a black SUV suddenly drove toward her.
The bodyguards nearby immediately formed a circle, impermeably protecting the woman in the middle.
The black SUV suddenly came to a beautiful drift when it was about to approach.
With a “screech” sound, the black SUV stopped in a relaxed way.
Immediately after that, a slender and upright man jumped out of the driver’s seat.
He shouted directly at the woman in the middle.
“Marina, I’m sorry. There was a bit of traffic, so I’m late,” Peter Moore said in a tone full of flattering.
The woman standing in the middle stretched out her hand and gestured.
And then, the bodyguards who earlier surrounded her in the middle immediately split into two rows.
The woman walked to Peter with her hands behind her back and light steps.
She slowly and methodically removed the sunglasses on her face, and a stunningly beautiful face suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
If Gordon were here, he would have found that this woman had the same face as the missing Caroline.
“Long time no see, Marina. You’re becoming more and more beautiful,” Peter said with a praising look on his face.
Marina Bailey just glanced up and down at him.
“Hair is messy, the face looks haggard, the eyes are still bloodshot, and the shirt is wrinkled,” Marina said.
After she said that, she approached Peter and sniffed.
And then she continued to say, “There’s still a smell of alcohol on your body. I don’t think you’re stuck in

traffic on the road. You got drunk in the arms of women again last night.”
“Ahem! Marina, I’m your cousin anyway. Show some respect to me.” A rare embarrassed look surfaced on Peter’s face after his lie was exposed by his cousin, Marina.
“It was because of your foolishness that Aunt Daisy asked me to come over and help you with the aftermath!” Marina was in a terrible mood, having to return to this old place.
So she didn’t show any respect to her cousin Peter at all.
“Well, actually, it’s not that serious. I can solve that by myself.” Peter touched his nose with a guilty touch.
“If you could solve it, Aunt Daisy wouldn’t have come to ask me for help.” Marina gave him a sidelong glance.
Even after being dissed, Peter didn’t dare to say a single word back. He could only show a smile on his face.
If anyone else saw Peter, the fearless Devil Incarnate in Solemwood, being so careful in front of a little girl, they would be scared out of their wits.
“Marina, you’ve been flying all day. You must be tired. I’ll take you back to rest first.” Peter did not have the slightest intention to get angry but instead softly coaxed Marina.
He even opened the car door for her.
“No need. Let’s go and meet those old foxes first.” Marina simply refused to have a rest.
“Don’t you want to rest first?” Peter knew that Marina was ready to get down to business.
“No, I want to solve it earlier so that I can return to Aunt Daisy earlier,” Marina said and bent down to get into the car.
“All right then.” Peter knew Marina’s temper very well.
No one could change what she had decided to do.
Peter closed the car door for her and then went around to the driver’s seat.
Inside the car, Marina sat in the back seat with a quiet face. She was playing with the sunglasses casually with her long and slender fingers.
She glanced out the window. The scene had not changed from a year ago.
The car accident at that time did not kill her but instead brought back her memories.
She remembered who she really was and went back to her real family.
And those three years before that were like a long dream she had had.
But the pain engraved in her bones reminded her that it had all been real.
“Marina, are you all right?” Peter asked worriedly as he looked at Marina, who was with a deep expression.
“I’m fine.” Marina retracted her thoughts and swept a lazy glance at Peter.
“Remember to tell me if you need anything,” Peter said quietly.
When Marina’s family found her six months ago, she was almost dying.
It was with great difficulty that they were able to save Marina later.
But she was tight-lipped about what happened during her disappearance.

Everyone in her family knew she must have had a horrible time during that period.
So in order not to stimulate her, her family members had never asked about it.
“Got it. You’re so naggy.” Although Marina said so, a warm feeling was born in her heart.
This was the family that was connected to her by blood, and they really cared about her.
But she couldn’t tell her family about the past when she was bullied!
Because… it was too humiliating!
However, since she had returned to this place this time, her original revenge could be taken appropriately!
Half an hour later, Peter parked his car in front of a building.
In the meeting room in the building, a dozen middle-aged men were sitting around a long table.
At this time, the faces of all those middle-aged men were more or less with a few discontents.
Most of them were Peter and Marina’s uncles. “Peter doesn’t take us seriously. He has kept us waiting here for so long,” one of the middle-aged men said.
And then, they had a heated discussion. “I don’t know what Mr. Bailey is thinking. He sent such a young boy
to take over us.”
“What else does Peter know besides enjoying himself with feasting and other kinds of entertainment? If we weren’t here to support him, what achievements could he make?”
“As a result, the credit is all his in the end, and we are left to do all the work!”
“And he’s still high and mighty. We’re his uncles, but he doesn’t respect us at all!”
“That’s right. Mr. Bailey is getting older and becoming increasingly disoriented.”
“If Mr. Bailey retires in the future, these young people like Peter will for sure wipe out all the achievements that Mr. Bailey and we worked so hard to make!”
“That’s right. We must teach Peter a good lesson this time!”
“Yes!” The crowd echoed.
“Uncles, you seem very dissatisfied with us young people?” And just at this time, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as the crowd turned around, they saw a woman with a beautiful face come in while Peter followed her assiduously.
