Chapter 378
The matter of Sophia did not cause much of a stir in Marina.
Actually, if Sophia hadn’t taken the initiative to cause trouble with her…
Marina wouldn’t even remember Sophia.
However, Sophia had been dealt with, but there was still no news of Jessica.
Marina had avenged Jessica, but she could not tell Jessica the good news.
Marina wondered if Jessica was doing well now.
Jessica did a good job.
It was fine for her to avoid Peter.
But Marina didn’t know why Jessica avoided her too.
Wasn’t Jessica afraid that she would worry?
Marina made up her mind that she had to teach Jessica a lesson when Jessica came back.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was the birthday of Marina’s grandfather.
On this day.
All members of the Bailey family came back.
The manor was crowded with people.
Marina had dinner with many people these days.
She didn’t even have time to meet Simon.
One day at night.
In the hotel.
Marina had been hiding in the dark.
She was casually looking at her mobile phone.
She had just asked Simon. He said he was on his way.
The banquet had yet to officially begin.
He should still be able to make it.
Marina replied that she would reply for him. She told him to contact her when he came.
As soon as she sent this message, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
“You’re still the same as before.”
When Marina heard this familiar voice, she subconsciously turned around.
Then she saw Gordon stand behind her.
“Why are you here?” Marina frowned.
“It’s the birthday of Mr. Bailey. Naturally, I have to come to send my wishes,” Gordon said slowly.
Currently, he looked handsome and aloof.
He returned to be the respected young master of the Campbell family in Solemwood.
Or perhaps, he was even more dazzling than he was back then.
Anyway, he no longer looked arrogant.
Now, he was calm and generous.
Gordon had always been a smart person.
However, he had been too well protected by his family in the past, so he was a little too naive.
Now that something unexpected had happened, he had truly grown up.

Chapter 378
As soon as he entered the banquet hall today, he attracted the attention of countless young ladies.
They all asked about his identity.
However, these changes were nothing to Marina.
She only glanced at Gordon lightly before looking away.
“My grandfather is in the hall,” Marina said lightly.
“What?” Gordon did not seem to understand what she meant.
“Didn’t you come to send your wishes? He’s in the hall.” Marina explained.
“I’ve already met Mr. Bailey. Gordon finally understood her meaning.
When Marina heard this, she became a little impatient.
“Why are you looking for me? It can’t be that you suddenly regret handing Sophia over to me, right?”
“Of course not, Gordon immediately said.
Gordon had complex emotions in his eyes.
“In the past… I didn’t know who was the best person to me and caused you to suffer a lot…”
“Wait!” Marina raised her hand to stop Gordon.
Then, she looked at him with a strange expression. “Don’t tell me you came to me just to say these things to me?”
“Do you really not want to see me now?” Gordon lowered his voice.
+++
It was as if he was deliberately suppressing his emotions.
“It’s not about whether I want to see you or not. I just think it’s not necessary for us to meet.
“Back then, you saved my life. What I did in the past can be considered as repaying you for saving my life.
“So you don’t have to feel guilty about anything. We’re even.” Marina didn’t want to have anything to do with Gordon
anymore.
Gordon had saved her life and she had done so much for him.
What needed to be repaid had long been paid off.
She felt no reluctance.
“Perhaps to you, we’re even. But to me, we’re not!” Gordon’s eyes were filled with deep meaning.
Marina was shocked and curious.
What was he trying to do?
“During this period of time, I’ve remembered a lot of our past.
“I remember that you became my secretary because you wanted me to take over the company more quickly.”
“You work overtime with me every day, watch me stay up late, and even make soup for me to remind me to take care of my body.
“When I’m at odds with my parents, you help ease the tension.
“I didn’t even feel it before. You’ve done so much for me.
“I… When Gordon’said this, he subconsciously wanted to approach Marina.
Marina raised her hand to stop him.
“Gordon, I said, is your brain damaged?”
When Gordon heard this, the expression on his face froze.
“It has been long ago. Why do you have to say it now?”
“At that time, you didn’t think that I was good to you. Times have changed, and you’ve recognized the true colors of the people around you. You suddenly thought of me.
“I don’t think you love me. You just have something wrong with your brain.
“Also, I’ve told you countless times before that I followed you back then because I lost my memory.
“If I hadn’t lost my memories, I would never have done those things.
“In other words, I wasn’t the one who followed you for the past three years. She was Caroline Campbell.”

“And Caroline is long dead. The one in front of her today is Marina.
“I’m Marina Bailey, the young lady of the Bailey family, one of the Four Families in Janeborough.
“So, no matter what you want to do or say, please weigh our identities before you speak.”
Marina’s words were cold and heartless.
The flickering emotions in Gordon’s eyes gradually disappeared. His eyes instantly turned dark.
Then his eyes totally darkened.
“I’m sorry. I’ve offended you.” Gordon lowered his voice.
“If you’ve really offended me, why don’t you quickly disappear from my sight?” Marina’s patience had reached its limit.
If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t want to ruin her grandfather’s birthday banquet, she would have thrown him out now. What nonsense was he talking?
“Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore,” Gordon lowered his eyes and replied. Then, he turned around and left.
There was an indescribable sadness in his eyes.
However, Marina did not even have the intention to ask more questions.
She lowered her head and continued to check her phone.
Simon said that he would arrive in about ten minutes.
Marina’s eyes instantly burst with joy.
Gordon was heartbroken to see this.
Once upon a time, she had looked at him like this..
However, he probably wouldn’t be able to see such a scene in the future.
