Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 328

“Understood!” Oscar immediately responded.

Then, he issued instructions for everyone to monitor the situation and refrain from taking any action

without orders.

Meanwhile, Marina complied with Yenny’s request and placed the prepared antidote at the designated

location.

She waited patiently for Yenny’s contact.

Approximately five minutes later, Marina’s phone rang once again.

“Leave from here, head towards your home, and don’t make any stops in between. Otherwise, your

friend won’t make it back in one piece. Yenny’s voice carried a chilling tone.

Yenny’s tone was cold.

“You’re not playing fair. I’ve already placed the items here as you requested, so aren’t you going to

release my friend as well?” Marina’s red lips tightened.

Yenny responded, “After I confirm that the antidote you provided is genuine, I will naturally send your

friend back.

“Miss Bailey, you’re quite clever. Dealing with someone like you requires me to be on high alert.

“Otherwise, I will definitely die in your hands,” Yenny’s voice was much lowered.

He was in considerable discomfort at the moment.

“Fine. I’ll do as you say, but you better keep your promise!” Marina replied before the call abruptly

ended.

Then, Marina and Simon turned to leave.

And not long after they left, a little boy about four or five years old suddenly rushed out from the corner

beside them.

He was dressed in tattered clothes, and his face was smudged with dirt.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he had taken a shower.

After he ran over there, he hurriedly rummaged through a frame at the corner of a wall.

When he found the red bag, he quickly hugged it in his arms and ran away hastily.

Meanwhile, Yenny was dragging Jessica into a vegetable stall.

The vegetable sellers were an old couple.

“Madam, my daughter suddenly feels a little unwell. Can we sit here for a while?”

Yenny’s voice was exceptionally gentle.

His appearance naturally lent itself to deception.

Over the years, he had consistently portrayed himself as a good person.

It was easier for him to maintain a facade to deceive others.

That old lady was also kind–hearted.

As soon as she saw Jessica’s pale complexion, she immediately put down her work.

Then, she took out two small stools from under the stall.

“Of course. Come and sit here. It might be a little too hot outside, and your girl looks like she might be

suffering from heatstroke.

“Perfect timing. I have some cold and refreshing bitter melon water here. Let your girl drink it. Take

some rest, and she should be fine.”

The old lady was very enthusiastic as she busied herself.

Thank you, Madam.” Yenny was still smiling as usual.

He took the cup of bitter melon water and brought it to Jessica’s mouth.

There was still a hint of stubbornness in Jessica’s eyes.

However, Yenny stared at her with a warning expression. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered in

a low voice.

“You better not let these two elderly people notice anything unusual. If they become suspicious, I won’t

be able to spare

them.”

Upon hearing Yenny’s words. Jessica’s face instantly turned pale.

This person was really a lunatic!

Was he planning to kill someone in front of so many people?

Jessica had some doubts in her mind.

However, she still obediently drank the bitter melon water just to be on the safe side.

The awful taste instantly made her face scrunch up into a frown.

“Young lady, is it too bitter to drink? This stuff is just like that. Although it tastes bad, it’s very effective.

“Here, have a cucumber. We grow these cucumbers ourselves, and they’re especially crisp.” The old

lady looked at Jessica’s scrunched–up face, and her smile deepened.

She washed a cucumber from the stall and handed it to Jessica.

…Thank you, Jessica said softly.

Then, she took the cucumber and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Since being kidnapped by this man, she had hardly eaten anything.

Of course, it wasn’t that Yenny deliberately wanted to mistreat her.

It was mainly because he was afraid Marina and others would track his whereabouts.

So, he had been cautious and stayed hidden for the past few days.

Not only had Jessica had nothing to eat, but Yenny himself hadn’t had a decent meal.

“Why are you eating so quickly, dear? Did you skip lunch?” The old lady looked at Jessica’s behavior,

and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

“She indeed skipped a meal. She has been insisting on losing weight, so she only eats vegetables and

cucumbers every day. How could she not be hungry?” Yenny immediately explained.

The old lady said, “Hey, young lady, why are you trying to lose weight when you’re already so thin?

Don’t learn these bad habits. Your health is the most important. The people who like you won’t mind if

you gain a little weight. They won’t think you’re less attractive because of a few extra pounds.

“My old man even asks me to eat more all the time. Look at my figure. He doesn’t find it repulsive at

all.” The old lady was a simple–minded person and believed Yenny’s words.

“Okay…” Jessica didn’t dare to say much to the old lady.

Jessica was afraid that she would reveal too much and raised the old couple’s suspicion.

At that time, it would bring unwanted trouble to the old couple.

That would not be good.

While they were resting, the dirty–faced little beggar from earlier had returned.

He was looking for Yenny among the crowd.

As soon as he saw Yenny, he immediately rushed forward.

Then, he raised the bag in his arms in front of Yenny.

“I’ve brought you what you wanted, so shouldn’t you fulfill your promise? Twenty–five bucks, not a

penny less!”

The little beggar stretched out his dirty hand toward Yenny.

Yenny didn’t have any cash on him, so he took out the phone he used to call Marina carlier.

After making the call, he had turned it off.

He originally wanted to throw it away, but it was useful now.

“I don’t have cash with me, but this phone can be yours. You can sell it to anyone, and it’s definitely

worth more than twenty- five bucks,” Yenny offered. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you serious?” The little beggar looked at Yenny with some suspicion.

He seemed skeptical that such a good thing could happen to him.

“I never lie.” Yenny smiled gently.

The little beggar stared at him for a moment, then snatched the phone from Yenny’s hand.

After carefully examining it and confirming that it was genuine, the little beggar immediately handed

over the bag from his embrace and swiftly fled the scene.

It was as if he was afraid that the man would go back on his word.

As for Yenny, he lowered his head and examined the contents of the bag he received.

There were indeed rows of potions inside.

Without hesitation, Yenny grabbed the bag and forcefully pulled Jessica to leave.

He was aggressive.

He did not care if Jessica could keep up.

When the old couple saw this scene, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
