Chapter 302
Jeffery wanted to reject Marina back then.
But Marina said that he didn’t have to take care of anything except preparing for the wedding.
In addition, Marina was the one who convinced his grandfather to agree to his marriage with Chrislyn.
So Jeffery agreed after hesitating for a while.
However, he did not expect Marina to use herself as bait.
Besides. Chrislyn also disappeared.
Thinking of this. Jeffery could not help but clench his hands on his lap.
Gavin had been driving according to the route indicated on the navigator screen.
But suddenly, the flashing red dot on Simon’s phone disappeared.
He grew tense instantly.
“What’s wrong. Mr. Hernandez?” Gavin asked in the front seat when he found the image on the projection screen disappear. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
The target is gone,” Simon said anxiously.
“How could that be?” Jeffery immediately asked.
“Have we been discovered?” Gavin blurted out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Simon’s face immediately darkened.
Jeffery tensed up as well.
“Tell our men to search all the passageways right now. We must find Marina as soon as possible,” Simon gave the order in a deep voice.
Just as Gavin was about to respond, he suddenly recalled Marina’s words.
“But Miss Bailey told us not to act rashly. She asked us to wait until the mastermind behind the scenes came out.”
“Are you teaching me what to do?” Hearing what he said, Simon became even more irritated.
Gavin hurriedly lowered his head and replied, “I’ll arrange it immediately.”
Simon fixed his gaze on the phone in his hand.
The tracking footage had been cut off.
He did not know where Marina was now.
Marina once told him that the tracking system was hidden and would not be discovered.
“Why did the signal suddenly go dead?
“Did something happen to her?”
At the thought of this, Simon could not help but tighten his grip on the phone.
He shouldn’t have listened to Marina and agreed to use her as bait.
“God, please keep Marina safe and sound,” he prayed in his heart.
In the meanwhile, the van was quickly passing through the checkpoints.
The next night, it arrived in Hatinne.
As soon as the gang entered Hatinne city, they immediately abandoned the van and got into the car that came to pick them
1. up.
After they arrived at their destination, they secretly got rid of the car and erased their traces.
When Marina woke up, she found herself lying in a particularly luxurious room.
She still felt a little dizzy.
When she struggled to sit up, she felt so weak that she didn’t want to move.
After resting for a while, she felt much better and looked around.
Judging from the decoration of the room, she could tell the owner must be super rich.
All the ornaments, including the lampshade at the head of the bed, were golden.
Marina leaned forward and touched the lampshade.
She could not help but chuckle.
It was indeed made of gold.
Marina lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

She checked all the golden ornaments in the room.
Anything golden was made of gold.
Marina searched her brain.
But she didn’t remember she had an enemy so fanatical about gold.
Just as she was deep in thought, the tightly shut door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Marina reflexively turned her head.
She saw a man walking in.
He was wearing a golden mask with a pitch–black wooden walking stick in his hand.
Marina couldn’t see anything on his face but his eyes.
“Miss Bailey, you’re awake. Did you sleep well?” the man asked with concern as if he was one of her close friends.
He walked in slowly on his walking stick.
His back was straight and his voice was young.
Marina had just been wondering why he was using a walking stick.
Now, she knew the answer. The man’s leg seemed to have been injured and he indeed had trouble walking.
blacked out after your subordinate gave me a shot and I just woke up. How could I sleep well? Do you want to try it yourself?” Marina snorted lightly.
I’m sorry. My subordinates should be blamed for that. I specially asked them to be polite when bringing you here.
I didn’t expect them to treat you like this. Miss Bailey, I’ll avenge you now,”
With that, the man shouted outside, “Get Ruth here!”
Yes!”
Marina blinked when she heard the name.
“Ruth? Is she… Chrislyn?” she wondered.
A short while later, Marina’s conjecture was confirmed.
The person who came in was Chrislyn.
She had changed out of the white dress she used to wear.
And now, she was wearing a black suit.
Her smooth long hair was tied into a ponytail.
It made her look much colder than before.
“Sir.” As soon as Chrislyn entered, she immediately bowed respectfully to the man in the golden mask.
She never looked at Marina.
The man didn’t say anything. He raised the walking stick in his hand and hit Chrislyn’s legs hard.
Chrislyn felt pain in her legs and knelt down.
However, her back was still straight, and she did not make any sound of pain.
Marina’s face darkened when she saw this.
But she quickly calmed herself down.
“What did I tell you before you left? Miss Bailey is my distinguished guest. I asked you to be polite to her. What did you do? How could you make her angry? With that, the man in the golden mask raised his walking stick again and hit Chrislyn on
the back.
Chrislyn almost lost her balance.
Her face turned pale.
However, she quickly straightened her back and said apologetically. “It’s all my fault. Sir, please punish me.”
“The person you offended is not me, but Miss Bailey,” the man in the golden mask said indifferently.
Chrislyn instantly figured out what he meant and gritted her teeth.
She turned around and looked at Marina.
“Miss Bailey, I’m sorry for not taking good care of you on the way. Please forgive me.”
Marina looked at Chrislyn who was kneeling in front of her.
She compressed her lips without saying anything.
“Kneel here until Miss Bailey forgives you!” the man said coldly.
Then, he looked up at Marina.
“Miss Bailey, I’m really sorry. I failed to discipline my servants. Or they wouldn’t have dared to upset you.
Ill leave her to you. It’s up to you whether you want to beat her or kill her.”
When Marina heard this, she shifted her gaze from Chrislyn to him.
