Returning With A Thousand Favors

Chapter 5

“The biggest headache for me right now is the territory over there in Wesiville.” When it came to

business, Peter changed his careless attitude to a serious one.

“That territory used to be ours. But twenty years ago, we leased it to the Hernandez family. This year

has. come to the end of the lease, but they have been hesitant to give the territory back to us,” Peter

continued.

“The Hernandez family? The one that ranks alongside the Bailey family among the Four Families of

Calirina?” Marina frowned.

“Yes, that’s them. By the way, you still have a marriage engagement with that family. If you hadn’t

disappeared back then, I guess you would have married into the Hernandez family by now.” Peter

raised his voice.

And he immediately got a glare from Marina.

Cough….

Peter immediately straightened up with a serious look and went on with the business.

And he said, “Well, I’ve gone to their leaders several times, but they kept excusing themselves and

refused to

meet.”

Among the major powerful families in Calirina, only four families were the most mysterious.

That was the Bailey family, the Garcia family, the Thomas family, and the Hernandez family.

The Four Families were the great families that inherited for

ver a hundred years with a wealthy foundation.

Any one of them was an unattainable existence for other families in Calirina.

Although the Four Families were in a state of mutual restraint and relative balance, there were some

business dealings between them.

It was just that the business involving the Four Families needed to be handled with some caution.

“Which piece of land are they renting?” Marina asked.

“This one.” Peter took a map and circled the land they leased to the Hernandez family in Wesiville.

“This area was just zoned as a development zone a few years ago, and now it’s a hot spot.” Marina

lightly scanned it.

Peter nodded and said, “Yes, the revenue from this piece of land is quite considerable. As long as we

can get it back, we will be able to solve our current urgent financial needs.

“It’s also because it’s a precious piece of land that the Hernandez family refuses to return to us.”

“I don’t think the Hernandez family would be so unconventional as to offend our Bailey family for such a

piece of land.” Marina felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

“As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. I suspect that someone under our control has made a

deal with the Hernandez family and pocketed all the funds gained.

“That’s why they dare to continue to occupy our territory so recklessly.” Peter looked at Marina with a

bit more excitement in his eyes.

His cousin had been bright and intelligent since she was a child.

Even their grandfather, Chuck Balley, praised her for her intelligence.

“Do you know who it is?” Marina’s eyes went colder.

“I’ve only temporarily aimed a few people on my side. I haven’t found the real traitor yet.” Peter shook

his

head.

“You are responsible for thoroughly investigating the traitor in the company, and I’ll take care of the

problem. of this piece of land,” Marina said with a deep voice.

“Okay!” Peter agreed without even thinking.

He felt that with his cousin’s help, there would be no disadvantage at all!

“You must be tired. I’ll take you back to rest first.” The thing that gave him the most headache was

taken over, and Peter was naturally relieved and attentive.

“Where are the things I asked you to prepare?” Marina turned her head and asked.

“Ah, I almost forgot. Thank you for reminding me. I’ll take you there now.” Peter patted his head before

remembering Marina’s previous requirement.

He led her out of the building immediately.

Half an hour later, they appeared in a high-end private custom home textile store.

The store manager came over to receive them personally. “Mr. Moore, these are the latest products of

the company. They are purely handmade and absolutely meet your requirements.”

The manager respectfully introduced sets of bedding in front of Peter.

That was right!

Marina rushed over there non-stop just to pick a comfortable big bed for herself.

The car accident a year ago left her with a serious after-effect.

That was, she would quickly tire more than most ordinary people, and her physical strength would be

lost. faster and recovered more slowly.

Therefore, she had stringent requirements for the quality of her sleep.

Bedding must be chosen only after she tried them herself.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at all.

And when she didn’t rest well, she would have a headache.

Once she had a headache, she would be in a bad mood.

Then, someone would suffer.

Peter was well aware of this, so he paid extra attention to this matter.

“Which one do you like?” Peter asked Marina next to him.

Marina tried the models recommended by the manager in turn and finally selected a set that she was

reluctantly satisfied with.

“That one,” Marina said with her slender finger pointing to the one on the far side.

17:200

“Pack up that whole set,” Peter said to the manager.

“Okay!” The manager answered immediately and went to make arrangements.

“Marina, take a rest here first. I’ll keep an eye on it.” Peter knew that Marina was obsessed with

cleanliness and did not like others touching her things.

So he would be relieved if he watched the packaging process.

“Mm.” Marina squeezed a syllable from her nose.

Between her eyebrows, there was a faint hint of gloom.

She was getting a headache.

After Peter left, Marina casually sat on a sofa beside her to rest.

She kept pinching her brow with her slender fingers.

It seemed she was trying to suppress that annoying headache.

However, the next moment, a voice suddenly came, full of dissatisfaction.

“What’s the matter with you guys? I’ve already ordered that bedding set before. How can you sell it to

someone else?”

A sales clerk explained, “I’m really sorry. That customer was in a hurry, so we sold the set to that

customer

first.

“But we have already made an emergency dispatch here, and we can get it here within three days at

the latest.” Her tone was very gentle.

“That customer was in a hurry? So you think I’m not in a hurry and I can wait?” The voice full of

dissatisfaction sounded again.

“Hmmm…” The sales clerk looked embarrassed.

It wasn’t her decision but that of her superior. She was very innocent.

“What happened?” At this moment, a low male voice sounded.

“Gordon, I ordered a set of bedding from them before our business trip. I was thinking of putting it in our

new house, but now she tells me they sold it to another customer.

“I even specially chose a design you like. How could they do that?” The voice full of dissatisfaction was

from Sophia. Her expression softened immediately when she saw Gordon.

Her delicate tone also carried a hint of grievance, making people feel she was so pitiful.

Gordon then reached out to grab her shoulder and patted it reassuringly.

Then he looked at the sales clerk on the side.

“Since my fiancée ordered it, you can’t sell it to anyone else without permission.

“Call that customer immediately and ask him to return it right now!” Gordon looked at the sales clerk in

front

of him with a cold face.
