Chapter 124


    Looking at the middle–aged woman standing in front of her, Marina couldn’t help but frown.


    The woman called Hannah was holding the middle–aged woman’s arm.


    It seemed that the rtionship between them was very close.


    “What is your name?” The middle–aged woman asked Marina condescendingly.


    From the middle–aged woman’s aura, one could tell that she was not from an ordinary family but


    probably from a wealthy family.


    However, it was a pity that Marina was fearless.


    “Tom, Dick, or Harry are not qualified to ask about my name.” Marina had always been like this. If one


    her, she would respect him in the same way.


    On the contrary, if one went too far in front of Marina, she would be even more unreasonable to him.


    “How dare you? Do you know who you’re talking to?” Hannah scolded when she heard Marina’s


    words.


    “Then do you know who you’re talking to?” Marina’s gaze was threatening..


    For some reason, Hannah suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.


    Hannah thought, “She looks a little younger than me.


    “But why does her aura seem even more terrifying than mine?”


    pected


    “You’re young, yet–you have quite a bad temper. Youngdy, listen to my advice. Don’t think that you


    can seek status and wealth just because you’re young and somewhat beautiful. After all, there are


    some


    things that you can’t dream of,” Ruth, the middle–aged woman, said coldly.


    Ruth’s gaze was disdainful. In her eyes, Marina was just a prostitute who relied on her appearance to


    strive for high. social status.


    “Seeking status and wealth? Madam, have you ever thought that I am already powerful and wealthy?”


    Marina sneered as she stared at Ruth.


    “Oh? You just yed a few songs on stage. How could you be powerful and wealthy? Girl, you’re


    still too young. You have to know that you can never cross many sses in this world.”


    Ruth wasn’t angry because of what Marina said.


    Ruth thought Marina was just a short–sighted but arrogant youngdy.


    To deal with Marina, Ruth only needed to let Marina realize that she was not worthy of getting anything


    so as to give up everything.


    “Is that so? Tell me, which ss I can’t cross?” Marina looked rather interested.


    Leon and his agent heard the noise and walked over.


    When they saw Hannah and the woman beside her, their faces darkened.


    Based on the middle–aged woman’s attire and aura, it was obvious that she couldn’t be trifled with.


    “Damn it! Hannah was originally at disadvantage, so she turned to someone else for help. How


    shameless she is!” Leon said in a low voice.


    “It is useless. Anyway, the helper of the good–for–nothing is also good–for–nothing,” Marina said


    bluntly and openly. She was not as timid as Leon.


    When Ruth heard that, her expression changed in an instant.


    Ruth thought, “It seems that she would not behave herself if I did not teach her a lesson!”


    Ruth took out her phone and made a call.


    “Mr. Bonner, something happened over here. I wonder if you’re free toe.


    “Alright, I’ll wait for you here.” Ruth hung up the phone after saying that.


    Ruth stared at Marina with a meaningful gaze. “Youngdy, it is not toote for you to apologize to me.


    Otherwise, you won’t have the chance when Mr. Bonnerester.”


    “If you apologize to me sincerely right now, I won’t pursue it further.” Marina raised her eyes


    nonchntly.


    “How presumptuous you are!” Ruth’s expression turnedpletely cold.


    Meanwhile, Hannah sneered at Marina.


    Hannah thought proudly, “This time, she would not get away again!”


    “Marina, they look so aggressive. Why don’t you go back first? I’ll help you hold them off.” Leon felt that


    the middle–aged woman was indeed not easy to be trifled with.


    Afraid that Marina would be at a disadvantageter, Leon whispered in her ear.


    “You want me to leave? I’m afraid that they will make things difficult for you.” Marina looked down at


    Leon.


    Everyone knew that Leon was famous for being timid.


    To Marina’s surprise, Leon was actually standing up for her.


    “I have sent a message to our teacher. He should be here soon. I don’t believe that they won’t even


    show respect to him!” Leon puffed out his chest.


    “Not bad. You even know how to seek help.” Marina’s tone carried a hint of admiration.


    “That’s what I learned from her. She kept asking others for help and had no intention of giving up. It’s


    so annoying.” Leon snorted.


    While Marina and Leon were still talking, a middle–aged man in his forties walked toward them.


    The man was in a decent and appropriate suit.


    He was wearing a pair of gold–rimmed sses, and his hair was neat.


    His expression was serious, and he looked like a leader who had been in a high position for a long


    time.


    “Mr. Bonner, you’re here. Ruth smiled when she saw Ethan Bonner, the secretary of the mayor in


    Janeborough.

    “Mrs. Hernandez, what happened here?” Ethan’s tone was neither servile nor overbearing.


    Ethan had no intention of currying favor with Ruth.


    “I’ll tell you the whole story. I am here to attend the constion perfortrance today, whose programs


    should have been arranged previously. But identally, I found out that one of the performers was


    changed all of a sudden without any preview.


    “You should know that many high officials wille for today’s performance. I was worried that


    something would happen under such circumstances. I wanted to tell you about it so that some


    irreversible idents would be avoided.” Ruth said so with vicious intentions.


    Ruth intended to hint in front of Ethan that Marina was a potentialwbreaker.


    After all, many of the audience who came for the performance were high officials who needed strict


    security.


    No idents were allowed to happen to them.


    Ethan’s face darkened when he heard Ruth’s words.


    “Is there such a thing? Why didn’t anyone report it to me?”


    “We have reported to the director. My hand was suddenly injured and I couldn’t go on stage, so I asked


    sister to rece me,” Leon exined in a hurry.


    my senior


    “You are a professional pianist. How could you get your hand hurt before such an important


    performance?


    “Moreover, you happened to get injured just before the performance was about to start and the director


    didn’t have time to find a substitute. Mr. Bonner, don’t you think it is a little coincidental?” Ruth said


    faintly.


    “It’s indeed too coincidental. To avoid unnecessary trouble, all of you shoulde with me. I’ll check it


    out.” Ethan stared at Ruth for a moment. In fact, he could tell that there was some grudge between


    Ruth and Marina.


    However, Ethan knew Ruth’s identity well.


    Moreover, what Ruth said was reasonable.


    Thus, it was not a big deal for Ethan to show Ruth some respect.


    “If


    you want to investigate the matter, just arrest me. It has nothing to do with my senior sister!” When


    Leon heard that Ethan and the others were serious, he took a step forward and stood in front of


    Marina.
