Chapter 392
Eunice instantly came to herself at the words of Gavin.
And she swiftly reacted by turning the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding a collision with an oncoming car.
However, this sudden maneuver jolted Marina awake from her peaceful slumber.
“What’s happening?” Marina asked groggily, opening her eyes, and she found Simon right in front of her.
“It’s nothing. You can take more tiime taking a nap. I’ll wake you up when we reach the hotel,” Simon reassured her in a gentle, soothing tone.
“Okay,” Marina replied, feeling a bit drowsy.
With Simon’s tender voice, she closed her eyes again and quickly fell back asleep.
Marina had trouble falling asleep.
However, every time he stayed by Simon Hernandez’s side, he would feel especially at ease.
Simon continued to lull her until her breathing became steady.
Then, he raised his head to glance at Eunice, who was driving.
*Mr. Hernandez, I apologize! I got a little distracted just now,” Eunice felt a shiver down her spine and promptly apologized.,
“No more distractions!” Simon’s expression turned cold and stern.
“Yes!” Eunice responded promptly, focusing solely on the road to avoid any further incidents.
She relaxed only when Simon’s gaze shifted away from her.
Eunice let out a sigh of relief after their heart–pounding drive.
She had been truly scared back there, and her back was drenched in cold sweat.
Finally, they safely arrived at the hotel’s presidential suite on the top floor.
Eunice escorted them.
Throughout the entire journey, Simon tightly held Marina in his arms, not relying on anyone else for support.
Eunice didn’t dare to ask anything further and simply led the way.
After entering the room, Simon carried Marina to the bedroom. Eunice’s gaze followed them until they disappeared from sight.
Then, she glanced at Gavin, who was packing their luggage.
It wasn’t until their figures disappeared from her sight that Eunice shifted her sight back at Gavin.
“Who is that lady…” Eunice asked.
“That’s Mr. Hernandez’s fiancée. You can call her Miss Bailey,” Gavin explained briefly.
He was too unaware that Simon and Marian had already privately obtained their marriage certificate.
“What? Fiancée? When did Mr. Hernandez get engaged? Why wasn’t I informed?” Eunice’s voice involuntarily rose in surprise.
Gavin looked at her withra raised eyebrow, sensing that something was amiss during their journey.
Eunice quickly realized she was being too emotional and hurriedly composed herself. “Uh… I was just taken aback for a
moment.”
“Mr. Hernandez never had a woman by his side, why all of a sudden did he find himself a fiancée?” Eunice tried her best to make her voice sound natural.
“It’s not up to us to talk about Mr. Hernandez. Anyway, you only need to know how to deal with Mr. Hernandez and Miss Bailey.”
Gavin was smart enough to see through Eunice’s pretence along the way.
“I understand,” Eunice lowered her head, clenching her dark hands into fists.
Her dark hands could not help but clench into fists.
Meanwhile, Simon had come out of the bedroom.
Eunice’s eyes instantly lit up as she went to prepare a cup of coffee for him.
“Mr. Hernandez, this is your favorite coffee,” she said respectfully, offering the coffee to Simon.

However, Simon didn’t reach out to take it.
He simply sat on the nearby couch.
Eunice clenched her teeth but had no choice but to place the coffee on the coffee table in front of him.
*Has the target been determined?” Simon Hernandez handed all his weight to the chair behind him.
Simon leaned back against the couch, looking indifferent but exuding a captivating aura.
“The target has been locked down. The key is with Yann from Hustralia’s top conglomerate, Eunice replied, her demeanor turning serious as she gol down to business.
“Yann?” Simon’s expression flickered upon hearing the name.
“Yes.”
“I thought he was dead, but turns out he’s still alive.” Simon snorted coldly.
“Half a year ago. Yann’s health suddenly deteriorated, and there were rumors that he didn’t have much time left.”
“But later, I heard he found an exceptionally skilled doctor, and now his health seems to have recovered,” Eunice promptly replied.
“Do you know where he’s hiding the key?” Simon asked.
He wasn’t interested in Yann’s life or death; he only cared about the key.
“Yann is cunning and suspicious by nature. Our people couldn’t extract the specific location of the key from him,” Eunice said apologetically.
“The only thing we know for sure is that the key is on him,” Eunice’s tone carried a hint of regret.
“I understand. You may leave now,” Simon absentmindedly tapped the armrest with his slender fingers.
Yann was not a stranger to Simon
They had crossed paths before.
Yann was probably in his sixties now, yet he was a difficult opponent for Simon, which Simon still remembered now.
In terms of strength, the old man wasn’t his match, but he possessed a cunning and devious mind.
If Simon attempted to forcefully take the key. Yann would rather destroy it than give it up.
Therefore, he needed to devise a plan to make Yann willingly surrender the key.
Eunice couldn’t help but gaze at Simon, her eyes revealing a hint of infatuation. She momentarily forgot Simon’s instruction to leave.
When Simon looked up and noticed her still standing there, he furrowed his brow, displeased.
“Why are you still here? You should get going.”
“I… I’ll leave now,” Eunice immediately collected her thoughts and bowed her head.
I’m staying downstairs. If you need anything, you can call me anytime, Mr. Hernandez, Eunice couldn’t help but say before leaving.
“Mm,” Simon responded without raising his head.
Eunice felt a tinge of sadness, but she said nothing and turned to leave.
Simon did not notice her emotional changes at all.
Simon then instructed Gavin, “Have someone investigate and find an opportunity to gather information about Yann.”
Simon then instructed Gavin, “Have someone investigate and find an opportunity to gather information about Yann.”
“Yes, right away, Gavin acknowledged before turning to leave as well.
After perusing the information left by Eunice, Simon entered the bedroom.
The room was tranquil, with Marian sleeping peacefully.
Originally, Simon looked weary, but upon seeing her, he visibly relaxed.
He took off his coat and gently climbed into bed. As Marian felt the familiar warmth, she spontaneously snuggled up in his embrace.
