Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel

Chapter 26

“What? Have you already fainted? I thought you had much thicker skin and were mentally stronger than this. Then, gazing at Sophia, who had blacked out. Marina put her phone away with disdain on her face.

Marina hadn’t had enough fun teasing Sophia yet.

“Marina, how could you begin the fight and hit her?” Jessica finally realized what was going on. She glanced at Sophia, who lay on the ground, unconscious. Then, she turned to Marina hurriedly

“Why? Do you think I have punched that bitch too hard?” Jessica’s words took Marina aback, and she was somewhat bewildered.

Jessica was the illegal daughter of the Rodriguez family, and because of that, Jessica was always soft and frail, and she had been the target that Sophia bullied all her life.

Marina wondered if Jessica thought she had gone too far in dealing with Sophia.

“Teeth are the hardest part of the human body. How could you punch her teeth with your fist? Reach out your hand. Let me check if you got hurt!” With that, Jessica took Marina’s hand and looked at it carefully.

Marina was somewhat speechless.

“No, of course not. Trust me. I’m not that feeble.” A smile curled the corners of Marina’s mouth.

She nearly forgot that Jessica had always been the one who cared about her most.

“Thank god you didn’t get hurt. Then, let’s go. Shall we?” Jessica checked Marina’s hand repeatedly and breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure there was no wound on it.

“Sure,” Marina answered with a nod. But when she was about to leave, one thing suddenly occurred to her.

Marina looked back at those shop assistants, who appeared frozen in place like statues.

Marina took out a Black Card from her bag that ordinary people rarely had the chance to see.

“Take this card. Everything in your shop is on me.”

Although Sophia was obnoxious, things in the clothing store didn’t do anything wrong.

Marina had to compensate for any damage done to the store.

What was left could be the compensation for the emotional trauma those shop assistants had suffered.

However, after Marina had done talking, the shop assistants didn’t respond to her words.

“Guys? Are the things in your store not for sale today?” Marina spoke again.

“Excuse me?” At last, someone opened her mouth.

However, the one who spoke still had a blank look on her face.

“I mean, I will buy everything in your store, and I will pay by credit card,” Marina repeated with unprecedented patience this time. After all, the store was ruined because of what she had done.

She handed the credit card to the shop assistant once again.

“Wait. Is that true what you said?” The shop assistant could not believe her ears. She asked the question with her eyes on Marina.

“It will not come true if you keep staring at me like a fool,” Marina replied softly.

The words were no sooner out of her mouth than the shop assistant took the credit card from Marina and helped her settle

the bill

The other shop assistants reacted with hindsight and quickly followed the first one to the checkout.

The people at the checkout went into a frenzy.

One could not blame them for being so thrilled. The commission of this single sale would be enough for each of them to purchase a house.

Jessica stared at Marina with concern and asked, “Do you have that much money? Things here are pricey!”

The clothing store was a famous luxury brand.

The price was way higher than the ordinary brands.

“I don’t have much money, but what I have is enough for me. Marina replied Jessica modestly.

“Why do you have to be so generous? You know what? You don’t need to buy everything here in this stort. You only need to pay for those that are damaged.” Jessica actually believed the words Marina had told her.

What she didn’t know was that she and Marina had different points of view about what the word “enough” meant.

“My lady, we have checked you out. Since you have bought so many things, you can leave us an address, and we will deliver your goods for you. All the shop assistants thought Marina was talking big earlier when she took out the card.

Now that they had done settling the bill, they started to talk to Marina with great respect.

“Cool.” Marina responded to the shop assistant and gave them the address.

“It’s done. We will deliver your goods in an hour.” The shop assistant marked the address down and kept it carefully.

“Alright then. Now, what about her… Marina nodded at the shop assistant, then eyed Sophia, who was still on the ground.

“Oh, that lady accidentally fell over herself in our store. We will call an ambulance for her and get her to the hospital. You are our significant and distinguished chent, and you don’t need to worry about that,” said the shop assistant with a broad smile.

“You are a professional at your job.” Marina was satisfied with the way that the shop assistant dealt with things. She scanned the name tag the shop assistant was wearing and wrote down another address for the shop assistant. Marina said, “If someday you want to change your job, you can go to this place and meet someone called Peter Moore. Tell him that Marina Bailey sent you.”

Marina stuffed the note she had written the address down into the shop assistant’s hand, whose name she had learned a minute ago was Betty Cooper.

Betty looked down at the note she was holding and was surprised. Then, after a short pause, she changed into a decent and polite smile.

“I will. Thank you very much, Miss Bailey.”

“That’s it.” Marina didn’t care about Betty’s reply of courtesy. She cut the conversation short and left with Jessica.

After leaving the mall, Marina looked at Jessica with curiosity.

“I thought you were scared of Sophia, weren’t you? Why didn’t you speak for her this time?”

“She scolded you,” Jessica answered after a moment of silence.

“What?” Marina didn’t quite catch Jessica’s words.

Chapter 26

“She can insult me and say whatever she wants about me. My mother is indeed money-minded and dreamed about marrying into the purple. Jessica can say anything ill about me, and I will not care.

“But I will not allow her to say those mean words about you! You were never that kind of person!” Jessica’s hands hanging at her sides balled into tight fists.

And her chest heaved greatly.

It seemed that she was truly enraged.

Seeing Jessica’s look, Marina suddenly laughed.

“What a silly girl! You didn’t get angry after being insulted by her, but you are mad at her for humiliating me.”

“You are my best friend! I will not let anyone bully you, even when that person is Sophia!” Jessica usually kept her head down, looking cautious and humble.

At that moment, when she made her point, she stood straight with her chin high and her eyes determined.

All those were not for herself but for Marina.

“Jessica…” Marina sighed in her heart.

“Jessica, move out. Don’t stay with the Rodriguez family any longer. Marina couldn’t help making a suggestion.

A glint of weirdness flashed across Jessica’s eyes when she heard what Marina said.

But she hid her emotions quickly.

“I appreciate it, Marina. It’s so kind of you to say that to me. But… I have to stay with them.” Jessica hesitated for quite a while, and in the end, she refused Marina’s offer.

“Why do you refuse to leave them? I know they never see you as a family member, and you are unhappy there. So why don’t you leave?”

Since Marina had regained her memory in the past year, she had talked about leaving the Rodriguez family several times. with Jessica, but Jessica turned her down every time.
