Chapter 407
Simon shook his head.
“I’m not sure. I remember very little about my mother, and I’ve never seen Gordon’s grandfather around her.”
“It’s just that Earl has passed away. Otherwise, I could have confirmed it with him,” Marina said, somewhat disappointed.
“It’s fine. I’m going to solve this puzzle bit by bit.” Simon smiled at Marina.
In the past, he had always been too obsessed with this matter.
But now that he had Marina, he felt that he could take it slow.
As long as he could answer his own doubts for so many years, it would be fine.
“Yeah, we still have a long way to go. After all, we’ve already found three keys. When we gather all the keys, we’ll know what happened back then,” Marina said slowly.
“Mm.” Simon nodded.
Just as Marina and Simon were talking, there was an urgent knock on the door.
“Mr. Hernandez, someone is here.” Gavin’s anxious voice came from outside the door.
Marina and Simon hurriedly left the room.
“What did you say?” Marina asked firmly.
“I just saw someone coming this way. I don’t know if we’ve exposed our whereabouts, so we have to leave this place as soon as possible,” Gavin said firmly.
“Yes!” Marina nodded and walked toward the room next door.
“I heard it.” Before Marina could speak, Gordon spoke first.
“Can you walk now?” Marina looked at him.
Although his vitals were not injured, his external injuries were not light.
“I can!” Gordon gritted his teeth and sat up.
However, the expression on his face became a little painful because of the pain.
Marina gave Gavin a look, and Gavin immediately went up to support Gordon.
“Thank you.” Gordon thanked him in a low voice.
Gavin didn’t say anything else. He helped Gordon to the door.
Just as Gavin had said, as soon as they came down from upstairs, they saw a group of people with murderous expressions rushing up from the hotel’s entrance.
Marina and the others immediately hid in the dark. After those people left, they got into the car from the back door and left.
Along the way, Gavin was on the phone.
He wanted to make sure that the flight could take off smoothly.
However, for some reason, when they were halfway there, cars suddenly appeared behind them and chased after them.

“What’s going on? How did they catch up so quickly?” Gavin looked at the situation behind him through the rearview mirror.
He immediately frowned.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for them to catch up so quickly.
No one knew what Marina thought of, but her expression changed slightly.
“Someone must have revealed our whereabouts,” Marina said.
“That’s impossible. There weren’t many of us when we went out this time. It was just a few of us,” Gavin denied subconsciously.
“There’s one more person,” Marina said in a low voice.
“Eunice.” Simon’s voice was cold.
“Her?” Gavin frowned.
This shouldn’t be the case.
Eunice had always been loyal to Mr. Hernandez.
She had never made any mistakes at work.
Could it be because… her love turned into hatred?
Gavin’s thoughts were in a mess, but he did not probe further.
After all, the most important thing now was to quickly shake off the pursuers behind them.
However, there were more and more cars behind them. There were even people trying to block them from the front.
Although Gavin’s driving skills were not bad, they didn’t have so many people with them.
For a moment, they were at a disadvantage.
“Let me get off.” Just as the situation was getting worse, Gordon, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
“Just stay here and don’t cause any more trouble!” Marina glared at him and began to assess the current situation.
They were on the road, so it was really inconvenient to make a move.
However, those people did not care about this at all.
To them, the cars coming and going did not matter at all.
They just drove forward and did not care about the lives of those people.
Under such circumstances, Marina was at a complete disadvantage.
“They want me. Throw me down now and you’ll be able to leave safely.” Gordon’s voice was a little anxious.
“Do you think I’m the kind of person who can exchange other people’s lives for a chance to live?” Marina glanced at Gordon.
“But there’s no other way now. If you don’t throw me down, we might all die here!” Gordon looked at the approaching cars behind them.
If they delayed any longer, the car they were in might be overturned.
“We won’t die! I’ve been through so many hardships and narrowly escaped death many times. I won’t die in such a place!”

Chapter 407
Marina’s tone was extremely firm.
Looking at the expression on Marina’s face, Gordon’s eyes flashed violently.
A trace of warmth slowly appeared in his heart.
He once thought that the person who would never abandon him in this world was Sophia.
So he tried his best to be good to her.
He wished he could give her all the good things in the world.
He thought that this way, they could be together forever.
However, he did not expect that in the end, the person who could not abandon him was actually Marina.
Speaking of which, it was really a little ridiculous.
“Did I tell you about my mother and my father?” Gordon’s voice was deep and hoarse.
847%!
“How can you still be in the mood to talk about this at a time like this? Be quiet!” Marina was trying hard to find a chance to survive.
She hoped they could get out of this predicament.
However, Gordon ignored Marina’s words this time.
Instead, he continued speaking.
“My father always treated my mother badly. My mother devoted all her feelings to my father.
“She loved and respected him. She treated him like her own sky. She wished she could give him all the best.
“However, my father valued this love even less than grass.
“He treated her coldly and refused to give her any warmth.
“He was even willing to put on an act with those women outside, but he was unwilling to smile at her.
“My mother married him out of love.
“They clearly had such a beautiful past together, but why?
“Why can feelings between people be so short?
“They clearly swore an oath together. They clearly said that they would never leave each other in this life.
“How did it get to the point where they hated each other?
“Ever since I was young, I’ve seen my mother cry and be depressed all day long.
“I watched the women around my father come and go, but none of them could accompany him for a long time.
“Therefore, I swore that I would never become like them in my life.”
