Chapter 127


    Marina looked at the old man in front of her, and the expression on her face was somewhat


    complicated.


    She seemed to be hesitating, and her eyes darkened.


    Just as Marina was about to speak, Matthew suddenly raised his hand and interrupted her.


    “You don’t have to answer me in a hurry. I’ll give you enough time to think about it. Reply to me after


    you think it through.”


    Marina stopped speaking and held back what she wanted to say.


    “Mr. Dickson, you still dote on Marina so much. Why don’t I see you being so patient with me?”


    Brendon muttered in jealousy.


    Both Marina and Brendon were soldiers under themand of Matthew.


    However, Brendon felt that Matthew treated him so casually.


    Inparison, Matthew only treated Marina as his biological child.


    “If you can do what Marina can do, I can even worship you.” Matthew gave Brendon a meaningful


    look.


    Brendon fell silent in an instant.


    What a joke! Marina was a peerless person.


    How could Brendon surpass her?


    At that moment, the guard behind Matthew stepped forward and reminded Matthew of something.


    It was time for them to leave.


    Matthew nodded and looked at Marina reluctantly.


    “Marina, think about my suggestion carefully. Also, if there are any blind people who dare to target you,


    you don’t have to hide it from me. Just tell me directly. The soldiers under mymand always said


    that I wa toward you. It is a good opportunity for me to prove their thoughts.”


    biased


    After Matthew finished his words, he nced at Ruth and Hannah from the corner of his eye.


    Although Matthew did not even look at her, Ruth felt her heart tremble.


    Hannah did not dare to raise her head the entire time and held Ruth’s arm tightly.


    After all, Marthew was a big shot who could sit in the first row.


    Even Ruth didn’t dare offend a person like Matthew.


    “Mr. Dickson, you don’t have to worry about this. They are just ignorant and insignificant people. I can


    deal with them on my own.” Marina didn’t want to trouble Matthew with those trifle things.


    That was wasting Matthew’s energy.


    “Alright, I’ll wait for your good news. Matthew knew about Marina’s ability.


    No one could not do anything to her. Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    That was also why Matthew did not react or stand up for Marina previously


    What was more, even if Marina couldn’t handle it, Brendon was still thers.


    “Okay.” Marina nodded solemnly.


    Only then did Matthew turn around and leave with a reluctant expression.


    It wasn’t until Matthew left that Hannah felt the suffocating atmosphere around her case a little.


    In Hannah’s opinion, Matthew’s aura was too imposing and terrifying.


    As expected, Matthew was worthy of his position and his title.


    After Matthew left, Brendon started to get even with Ethan and the others.


    Brendon raised his head and stared coldly at Ethan who was standing at the side.


    Ethan’s clothes were drenched in a cold sweat as if he had just taken a shower.


    Ethan looked at Marina carefully, trembling. “I’m really sorry, Miss Bailey. Everything that happened


    just now was a misunderstanding. I’ll apologize to you here. Please forgive me and don’t hold it against


    someone like me.”


    Ethan’s tone was humble.


    Since Matthew thought so highly of Marina, Marina could not be an ordinary person.


    “As expected of the secretary general. Your ability to change your face is not inferior to anyone,”


    Marina replied. indifferently.


    It was obvious that Marina had no intention of settling the matter peacefully.


    Ethan’s hands trembled even more violently.


    “It has nothing to do with me. It’s… It’s Ruth who called me with her identity as the hostess of the


    Hernandez family and asked me to help teach you a lesson. She deceived me.” Ethan didn’t dare to


    hide anything this time and told Marina the whole story.


    Ruth frowned.


    Her eyes darkened as she looked at Ethan


    Ruth was dissatisfied and thought, “He is so unreliable and can’t withstand any pressure!”


    Brendon turned to look at Ruth.


    The Hernandez family?


    “Mrs. Hernandez, I’ve always thought that the Hernandez family is engaged in the business industry.


    Why did you even venture into politics? Aren’t you going a little too far?” Brendon didn’t care about the


    Hernandez family at all. To him, as long as someone touched his bottom line, he would treat them


    equally.


    “Mr. Carrell, it’s just a misunderstanding. As aw–abiding citizen, when I discovered something amiss,


    I reported it actively. It was reasonable although the final result might be a misunderstanding.


    “I did that out of good intentions. Even if you don’t intend to praise my patriotic behavior, you shouldn’t


    be so

    hostile toward me.” Ruth was sophisticated to some extent, and she wasn’t frightened by what Brendon


    said.


    Frankly speaking, Ruth didn’t do anything to hurt Marina from the beginning to the end.


    Thus, Ruth could exin it with a misunderstanding.


    This way, Brendon couldn’t arrest Ruth for such a reason.


    Marina could not help but narrow her eyes. It seemed that Ruth was born to be glib–tongued.


    “What are you doing here?” At that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind Ruth.


    Hannah’s body stiffened.


    When Marina heard the voice, she also looked up.


    Simon?


    Why was Simon there?


    Did Simon say that to Ruth?


    Simon looked at Ruth who was standing opposite Marina. He stood in front of Marina with a cold


    expression.


    He was face to face with Ruth.


    Simon’s intention of protecting Marina was conspicuous.


    “Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I will do anything to her?” Ruth nced at Simon who


    was standing in front of her, and the hostility in her eyes was slightly restrained..


    “It seemed that you didn’t take what I said before seriously.” There was a hint of anger in Simon’s


    eyes.


    Ruth was slightly shocked..


    Although Ruth’s rtionship with Simon was not good, they kept a superficial harmony.


    Simon would never disrespect Ruth in public.


    However, this time, Simon was actually angry with Ruth because of Marina.


    Was he serious?


    How ridiculous.


    Ruthughed lightly as her gaze passed by Simon and was fixed on Marina behind him.


    “The youngdy behind you concealed her strength well. Your taste is not bad. Bring her to pay me a


    formal visit when you have the time.” Ruth’s words were mixed with a hidden meaning.


    After saying that, Ruth turned around and left.


    Naturally, Hannah did not dare to stay any longer. She only nced at Simon from the corner of her


    eye secretly.


    Looking at Simon’s cold face, Hannahined in her heart, “It is terrible.


    “Simon must be angry.”


    But now, Hannah didn’t have time to exin to Simon.


    Hannah could only re fiercely at Marina before chasing after Ruth quickly.


    After they left, Simon suppressed the emotions in his eyes and turned to look at Marina.


    “Did they make things difficult for you?”
