Chapter 126


    “I was negligent about it. I’m willing to ept punishment!” Ethan quickly lowered his head and


    admitted his


    mistake.


    “Mr. Carrell, we reported the abnormality to Mr. Bonner only to ensure that the performance would go


    smoothly. And Mr. Bonner also followed the rules. You can’t treat Marina differently just because she is


    an acquaintance of


    yours.”


    Ruth said in a casual tone.


    She could afford to offend a mayor.


    “Do you mean that I’m being biased?” Brendon narrowed his deep eyes instantly, and a hint of


    ruthlessness shed across his eyes.


    Brendon hade from the army. He did not have the elegance of the schrs, but the aura of a


    bandit.


    As soon as such an aura was released, the atmosphere seemed to have be a little more


    oppressive.


    “I didn’t mean that. Mr. Carrell, I just feel that it’s indeed a little unfair for you to me your subordinate


    indiscriminately.” Ruth met Brendon’s eyes fearlessly.


    Ruth had the Hernandez family backing her, and Brendon could not do anything to her.


    “Indiscriminately? Unfair? Heh.” Brendonughed when he heard Ruth’s words.


    Then, he pulled Marina to his side and pushed her in front of Ruth.


    “Do you know who she is? Do you know what she has done before? How dare you suspect that she is


    a dangerous. person? Do you know that it is the greatest insult to her?” Brendon’s tone was powerful


    and even a little cold..


    Ruth frowned slightly.


    Ruth didn’t expect Brendon to have such an emotional reaction.


    What exactly had Marina done?


    eyes darkened slightly. Then, she broke free from Brendon’s hand and looked at him with amusement.


    Marina’s eyes


    “Why are you so indignant?”


    “How can I not be indignant? They actually suspect that you are a potentialwbreaker. How dare


    they!” Brendon looked as if he had been wronged.


    “They are suspecting me, not you. Why do you feel more aggrieved than me?” The smile on Marina’s


    face became brighter.


    “It’s because they are suspecting you that I feel even more indignant for you!” Brendon’s expression


    was serious.


    Marina had done so much back then. Even a man like Brendon could notpare to her.


    “Alright, it’s all over. Don’t shout so loudly, or you will attract others hereter.” It was fine if only


    Brendon was there, but if others came, Marina wouldn’t be able to leave.


    However, sometimes, the more one was afraid of something, the more likely it would happen.


    As soon as Marina finished her words, a few men in military uniforms suddenly walked out from the


    corner.


    “Brendon, I heard your voice from afar. Why hasn’t your temper changerl after so many years? We


    haven’t finished talking just now. Why are you running away so quickly?”


    The old man at the front looked at Brendon with a dignified expression.


    Marina’s back was still facing the old man, yet his voice made her body stiffen.


    What a coincidence it was!


    Marina looked up and wanted to give Brendon a look to ask him to hide her identity and help her slip


    away.


    But in the next moment, that silly guy betrayed her.


    “Mr. Dickson, look who she is!”


    Brendon grabbed Marina Bailey’s shoulder and turned her around.


    Marina was speechless.


    She regretted replying to Brendon’s message.


    Matthew Dickson, the old man who was respectfully addressed as “Mr. Dickson” by Brendon, was the


    chief of the army. The moment he saw Marina, he could not help but stop in his tracks.


    Matthew’s eyes instantly narrowed, as if he was looking Marina up and down.


    “Mr. Dickson, you still don’t recognize her? She is Marina!” Brendon thought that Matthew didn’t


    recognize Marina, so he exined loudly.


    Marina Bailey was even more speechless.


    This time, she could not escape at all!


    “Mr. Dickson.” Marina could only sigh and salute Matthew respectfully.


    The moment she saluted, Marina’s temperament instantly changed.


    At that moment, she was like a peerless soldier on the battlefield.


    Marina’s eyes were filled with unswerving determination.


    “You brat…” Matthew finally came back to his senses and said with red eyes. When he saw Marina’s


    outfit, he held back his words immediately.


    “Girl, you’re really heartless. You left so decisively back then and didn’t even say goodbye to us!”


    Although Matthew’s tone sounded like he was reprimanding Marina, his eyes were filled with affection


    for her.


    “At that time, it would be useless for me to stay,” Marina recalled her time in the military camp.


    Actually, life there was quite fulfilling.


    “It’s useless? What do you mean? You will always be our hero!” Matthew’s face was serious.


    “Yes, you will always be our hero!” Brendon quickly echoed.


    Marina’s eyes immediately turned teary.


    B


    That was enough.


    “I used to think that you looked handsome when you were in your military uniform. I didn’t expect you to


    look so graceful after you take off your military uniform.” Matthew’s eyes turned a little wet.


    Ever since Marina left the military camp quietly, Matthew and the others had been sending people to


    search for her.


    However, Marina was a soldier they were proud of.


    If Marina wanted to hide, no matter how many people Matthew sent, he wouldn’t be able to find her.


    “Mr. Dickson, I feel that you’re more dignified.” Marina rarely ttered someone.


    After all, there were not many people she respected.


    Matthew was one of them.


    “I haven’t seen you for a few years. You even learned how to tter me. I’ve always been worried


    about. you. Now that I see that you’re doing well, I’m relieved.” Matthew nodded slowly.


    “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Dickson. I’m doing well,” Marina said firmly.


    “Since that’s the case, when are youing back? I’ve kept your military uniform for you.” Matthew


    stared at Marina with anticipation in his eyes.


    “Mr. Dickson, if Marina goes back, I want to go back with her.” Brendon, who was beside Matthew, said


    hurriedly.


    “Why are you joining in the fun? Do your job well.” Matthew rolled his eyes at Brendon.


    “But I think I prefer to fight on the battlefield with real weapons. It is much more interesting than staying


    in politics.” Brendon was originally an unrestrained person.

    If it wasn’t for the fact that he had no choice but to ept the order in the face of danger, Brendon


    didn’t want to be in his current position at all.


    After being the mayor for so many years, Brendon felt that he had almost used up his schemes in his


    mind.


    “I know something more interesting than it. Do you want to do it?” Matthew gave Brendon a meaningful


    look.


    Brendon didn’t dare to speak anymore.


    He had had a taste of Matthew’s methods before.


    As long as Brendon fell into Matthew’s trap, he had no way to ask anyone for help and would only feel


    worse than death.


    “Marina, do you want toe back?” After calming down Brendon, Matthew asked Marina Bailey


    again.
