Chapter 462
“You guys are great, too,” Marina said without a trace of falsehood. The martial strength of these two men was definitely top–notch.
If a few more men came, Marina couldn’t escape unscathed.
Seeing that Simon had returned, the two men did not disturb them.
They nodded at Simon and left.
Simon immediately held Marina’s hand and returned to the room.
“To be honest, I was scared just now. I thought something had happened to all of you,” said Marina, who was settled on the sofa by Simon.
“We won’t. It’s just that I have some business to deal with over there. I had to leave when I saw you weren’t awake.
“It was my negligence. I should have left you a note, Simon said apologetically.
“By the way, you just said this is only half of the Akister treasure here. Does it mean that the last key is in their hands?” Marina’s mind was racing.
“Marina, you are indeed clever, Simon said as he took a silver key from his pocket.
It was what a real key looked like.
“So, have we got all the five keys now?” Marina asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Simon said with a nod.
“Speaking of the other half of the Akister Treasure, how much is it worth?” Marina asked curiously.
Simon told Marina a number.
A person like Marina, who had no concept of money, could not help but be stunned at this moment.
“No wonder all the forces in the world are so eager to obtain the treasure. I don’t mind telling you I’m even starting to feel tempted, Marina muttered.
“It’s all yours.” Simon said as he stuffed the key into Marina’s hand.
“That’s right. What’s yours is mine!” Marina immediately raised her chin when she saw Simon’s action.
She was still arrogant.
However, her surprise only lasted for a few seconds.
After all, money is a thing that becomes a number when one accumulates a certain amount of it.
“By the way, did you learn anything about the cause of your mother’s death from them?” asked Marina, remembering the most important purpose of their trip.
Simon shook his head.
“Don’t they know? Don’t they belong to your mother’s force?” Marina was a little surprised.
“The person in charge here told me my mother sneaked out back then. When my mother got in touch with them again, she was gone. All she left to them was her will” Simon’s voice was muffled.
“It doesn’t matter. We’ll find out for sure,” Marina said firmly.
“Carter has checked it out for me, Simon said.
“Carter?”
“He’s the person in charge here. His name is Carter,” explained Simon.
“Okay,” Marina replied.
“They didn’t know that there was a reason for my mother’s death, so they haven’t thought about looking into it in these
years.
“They didn’t know about it until I arrived,” Simon said.
“The group of forces is indeed incredibly powerful. If they investigate it themselves, they might really be able to find useful clues very soon Marina comforted Simon.
“Yes,” said Simon with a nod
Then Marina went to see her parents, Sam and Mary.

As Simon said, Sam and Mary were doing well.
They were basically uninjured.
And Simon became a bit busy in the following time.
Basically, he went out before dawn Marina was already asleep when he returned.
As a result, Marina had a lot of time to spend with her parents.
However, Marina would still check her phone from time to time.
She wanted to see if there were any messages from Simon.
“When a woman starts waiting to hear from a man, it means her good days are over,” said Mary.
Watching the scientific research program at the side, Mary teased Marina wryly as she watched Marina’s insouciant demeanor.
Marina immediately shifted her gaze from her phone to Mary.
The expression on her face became somewhat helpless.
“Mom, don’t make it sound like I’m a housewife who waits for her husband to come home every day, okay?”
“Do you want me to give you a mirror so you can see your current appearance?” said Mary, raising her eyebrows,
Marina was speechless.
“Mom, I’m already engaged to Simon. Why haven’t you accepted the fact?” Marina couldn’t understand what Simon had done to offend Mary.
So much so that Mary could not forget it even now.
“So what if you’re engaged? It’s not like you’re getting married. These days even married people get divorced, let alone engaged.” Mary snorted.
“Mom, can’t you look forward to my good? Which mother would want her daughter’s engagement to be called off?” Marina couldn’t help but laugh.
“Who said I’m looking forward to you being called off your engagement? I’m looking forward to you taking the initiative to find him to call off the engagement!
“You’re getting more and more unambitious. You can even say such things!” Mary’s face was filled with anger.
“Mom. I love Simon.” Marina’s expression was serious when she said that.
She did want Mary to understand her true feelings.
However. Mary was first stunned when she saw Marina in this state.
Then, she seemed to have thought of something and stood up from the sofa.
“If you miss him so much, don’t stay here and watch over me. Hurry up and leave!” Mary waved her hand.
“Mom, that’s not what I meant. I… Marina still wanted to explain.
But Mary interrupted Marina again before Marina could finish her words.
“Get out!” said Mary with a stern tone.
She didn’t seem to be joking at all.
Marina stopped talking.
Then, Marina slowly stood up.
She glanced at Mary’s back before turning to leave.
Sam, who had not spoken until the door closed, walked up to Mary.
“You know, Marina was never that kind of person. She would never let herself become that kind of person. She was probably just a little worried.
“More importantly, they’re still in love at this stage. It’s normal for them to want to stick together.
“Back then, didn’t I miss you so much that I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night that I secretly went to your house to see you?” Sam said slowly.
“.. Mary wanted to explain something but didn’t know where to start.
In the end, she sat back on the sofa in frustration.
“As soon as I see Simon’s face, I think of his father!” said Mary.
Chapter 462
“His father? What are you thinking about him for?” Sam stopped paying attention to other things at once when Sam heard Mary’s words.
How could her wife pay attention to a man other than him?
His heart was instantly in a disastrous state.
