Chapter 391
However, very quickly, Simon came back to his senses.
“So you mean, I won’t be able to escape this no matter what,” he said.
“That’s right. We can’t escape,” Marina nodded.
“Besides. I’m worried that deserting them might worsen their impression of me,” Simon looked at Marina, who was sitting beside with her eyes fixed at him.
*Don’t worry him calmly.
about it. We’re already married, so even if they give us a hard time, it won’t change the fact, Marina assured
Simon sighed, feeling less optimistic than her.
He had a gut feeling that if he escaped this time, things would only get worse next time.
“Stop thinking about it. We’re out now, so there’s no point dwelling on it,” Marina urged him.
“And besides, I’m doing this for your sake. After all, if we really get pestered by them, it won’t be so easy for us to escape,” she
added.
“When we’re done handling your mother’s affairs. I’ll go back with you and face the consequences together.” Marian smiled reassuringly at Simon.
However. Simon didn’t find much solace in Marian’s words.
Nevertheless, he decided she had a point; now they were already out of the mess, they should just put it aside, and overthinking wouldn’t be productive.
They only needed to figure things out as they went along.
“So, where are we heading now?” Simon composed himself and asked.
“Shouldn’t I be asking you that?” Marian turned to him, looking serious.
Simon fell wordless.
“Marina, you were the one who woke me up before dawn this morning.” Simon reminded her helplessly.
“I thought all these years you were investigating your mother’s death, you must have some leads by now,” Marian intoned.
Simon didn’t what to respond.
Marian looked the silent Simon, Marina slowed down the car.
“How about… we go back now?” Marian tentatively suggested.
“Forget it, let’s head to my house,” Simon sighed.
“Alright!” Marian immediately picked up the pace.
She knew that Simon would never consider going back.
People back at home were only dangers and adversaries to them.
Half an hour later, Simon and Marian found themselves sitting in Simon’s study.
Simon settled into a chair, and Marian perched herself on his lap.
Before them lay the results of Simon’s years of investigation.
Marian idly played with her slender fingers, not really paying attention.
“According to your investigation, your mother must have used the power of the Akister Treasure to support your father’s rise to power, Marian spoke up.
Simon nodded, confirming her.
“After your mother’s passing, this power suddenly disappeared, isn’t it?” Marian asked.
“Yes, it was precisely because of this that the Hernandez family was left in such turmoil and had to marry Ruth.
“Then your current plan is to find the Akister Treasure and uncover the reason behind your mother’s death?” Marian inquired.
“Yes,” Simon replied.
“There are five keys in total for the Akister Treasure, and we currently have two. Do you have any clues about the remaining three keys?” Marian asked.
“I have a bit of a lead on one of them, but I’m still investigating. I should have definite news in a few days,” Simon replied,

meticulous in his response.
“Then let’s wait until we have that information confirmed before we set off,” Marian marked the third key on the map.
Simon agreed, saying they would know soon.
Within two days, they received news.
Listening to Gavin’s report, Marina couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
“So, you mean this key is currently in Hustralia?”
“Yes, the message came from the Hustralia branch, and I have confirmed its accuracy,” Gavin confirmed firmly.
“In that case, let’s make a trip to Hustralia,” Marina glanced at Simon.
That evening, the three of them boarded a private jet bound for Hustralia.
As the plane landed just breaking dawn, Marina was sleeping soundly, leaning against Simon’s shoulder.
Gavin looked at Simon, seemingly asking if he should wake her up.
Simon gave
him a silent gesture to stay quiet and then gently lifted Marina up.
As he caught a familiar whiff of Simon’s cold fragrance, Marina snuggled closer in his arms.
Finding a comfortable position, she drifted back to sleep.
Simon couldn’t help but soften at the sight of her like this.
Their visit was a secret one, so they used the VIP channel directly.
Outside the airport, a young woman in her twenties was anxiously waiting, gazing towards the exit.
Her long hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her makeup was neat and sharp.
She was dressed smartly, exuding an air of importance.
Her face carried a stern aura, but as her eyes landed on a certain figure coming out of the exit, her sternness softened instantly.
It could be seen that he was usually in an important position.
His expression was cold and solemn.
When she saw a slender figure at the exit, her cold and stern face instantly softened.
“Mr. Hernandez!” Eunice Jiles rushed forward to greet Simon the moment she saw him. However, when she saw the woman in Simon’s arms, she immediately suppressed his smile.
“What’s going on here?
Why did Mr. Hernandez bring this woman here, and why was he holding her so intimately? Eunice stood frozen in place, unable to react for quite some time.
Even when Simon asked her, she didn’t respond immediately.
“Where’s the car?” Simon’s tone grew heavier.
This time, Eunice finally snapped back to reality.
“It’s… It’s this way!” she immediately replied and led Simon towards the car.
As they approached the car, Eunice respectfully opened the door.
Looking at the woman in his arms, she spoke, “Let me take care of the lady, Mr….”
But before she could finish, Simon cut her off coldly, “Don’t bother.”
Eunice was left hanging, her hand suspended in mid–air.
Quickly recovering, she gently closed the door after Simon carefully placed the woman inside.
Then, he gently adjusted his posture to make sure that Marina could sleep more comfortably.
Seeing this scene, Eunice felt her heart ache.
However, she still didn’t say anything and gently closed the car door for them.
Then, she went around to the driver’s seat.
On the way, Eunice would occasionally look at Simon from the rear–view mirror.

Yet Simon’s gaze was fixed on the woman in his arms, and the tenderness on his face was quite exceptional, nothing like the familiar Simon would emanate.
Eunice’s thoughts were in disarray, and she failed to notice an approaching vehicle ahead.
“Be carefull‘ Gavin, who was sitting beside him, said promptly.
