Chapter 145
The banquet hall downstairs was extremely lively.
Although Alfredo only showed up at the beginning of the banquet, no one at the banquet dared to say something to neglect him.
Instead, all of them were incomparably enthusiastic.
After all, other than Alfredo, the other juniors of the Garcia family were all present.
Hannah came with Ruth today.
At this moment, Hannah was searching for Simon in the crowd.
Hannah had already received news that Simon would also be attending this banquet.
However, Hannah could not find Simon after searching for a long time.
“Mrs. Hernandez, didn’t you say that Simon would come today? Why haven’t I seen him yet?” Hannah asked unhappily.
“Why are you in such a hurry? He will definitely come today.” Ruth lazily glanced at everyone in the banquet hall.
“Okay.” When Hannah heard this, she immediately restrained the emotions on her face.
Although Ruth always said that she wanted Hannah to marry Simon, Hannah knew that if she acted too anxious for Simon, Ruth would not be very happy about it.
“Ah, Mr. Garcia is coming down again,” at this moment, someone suddenly said.
At that, Hannah and Ruth immediately looked up.
They saw a slender young lady slowly walking down with Alfredo’s hand in hers.
“Huh? Why does the young lady beside Mr. Garcia look a little familiar?” Hannah whispered.
When the two of them walked down the stairs, Hannah finally saw the young lady’s face clearly.
Hannah immediately widened her eyes. “How could it be her?”
“Mrs. Hernandez, it’s that woman from last time!” Hannah immediately hugged Ruth’s arm.
Ruth could not help but frown.
Why was this woman still in the Garcia family?
Moreover, this woman was so intimate with Alfredo.
Could this woman be the Garcia family’s junior?
But the Garcia family didn’t seem to have such a character.
The originally noisy banquet hall instantly fell silent after Alfredo appeared.
Although many people wanted to pay greetings, they all knew that Alfredo did not like crowds, so no one dared to rashly go forward.
However, just because others didn’t dare to do so didn’t mean that Ruth didn’t dare to either.
Ruth put down the wine glass in her hand, swayed her waist, and walked straight toward Alfredo.
Hannah immediately followed.
“Alfredo, I am here to wish you a happy birthday.” Ruth smiled elegantly.
“I didn’t expect you to take the time to come over.” Alfredo looked at Ruth in front of him with a faint smile,
“As a junior, I definitely have to attend your birthday banquet to wish you well.” Ruth flattered Alfredo before her gaze landed on Marina.
“I see that the young lady beside you is very beautiful, Mr. Garcia. I didn’t know you have such a beautiful granddaughter.”
From her words, Ruth was already indirectly asking about Marina’s identity.
After all, Ruth had spent a lot of effort investigating this woman.
However, just as Hannah had said, there were no clues about this young lady at all.
Of course, Marina knew what Ruth was thinking.
Marina immediately snorted. “Don’t tell me your profession is to change your attitude?”
“Huh? What did you say?” Ruth was stunned by Marina’s sudden voice.
“The last time we met, you even want to find someone to arrest me. I thought you seemed to look down on me, right? Why did you suddenly feel that I
am beautiful when we meet today?” Marina didn’t consider Ruth’s feeling at all and directly exposed Ruth’s doing
Alfredo, who was originally smiling, couldn’t help but become gloomy when he heard Marina’s words.
Alfredo’s gaze on Ruth turned colder.
Ruth was stunned for a second, but she quickly recovered.
Ruth did not expect that this woman would actually talk about what happened that day in front of Alfredo.
“It was just a misunderstanding that day. Didn’t we already explain it clearly back then?” Ruth explained with a normal expression.
“Is that so? But even if it’s a misunderstanding, you’ve ruined my mood. I have to settle this score with you.” Marina narrowed her black eyes.
“In that case, as your elder, I’ll apologize to you here today.” Ruth was quite arrogant.
Unfortunately, Marina wasn’t afraid of her at all.
As soon as Ruth finished speaking, Marina sneered.
“Don’t call yourself my elder so casually. I’m not related to you. You don’t deserve to be called my elder.”
On the surface, Ruth said that she wanted to apologize to Marina.
However, in reality, Ruth secretly implied that Marina did not respect her elders.
This woman was quite scheming.
Ruth’s expression did not look good either.
After all, Ruth was the current mistress of the Hernandez family.
All these years, Ruth had never apologized to anyone.
Ruth was only able to say that just now for the sake of Alfredo.
However, this woman pushed her luck.
Did Marina really think that Ruth was the kind of person who could be easily bullied?
“Alfredo, the miss beside you has a big temper. Just say it. Am I qualified to be her elder?” Ruth looked directly at Alfredo who was at the side.
If it was in the past, Ruth might have been a little afraid of this old man.
But now, the Garcia family was getting worse and worse.
Currently, the Garcia family was already at the bottom of the Four Families.
If the Garcia family did not improve anymore, it might be kicked out of the Four Families.
This was also why Ruth could stand in front of Alfredo so confidently.
“Mrs. Hernandez, I don’t have the right to say anything about this. Even I have to treat her carefully,” Alfredo only glanced at Ruth indifferently and said casually.
“Alfredo, what do you mean by that?” Ruth’s eyes flickered instantly.
“I meant it literally.” Alfredo had no intention of explaining further.
Ruth’s red lips instantly pursed tighter.
Ruth stared straight at Marina.
Judging from the current situation, Marina was really one of the Garcia family.
“Mr. Garcia, you’re getting on in years. I understand how you feel about loving your juniors, but there are some things that you should lecture her about early, or it will be too late.
“Your granddaughter is a troublemaker outside. Although the Garcia family has some reputation in Janeborough, there are still existences stronger than
you.
“If this miss doesn’t restrain her temper, she will suffer in the future!” Ruth’s words had a hidden meaning.
“However, I’m an elder. This miss has offended me time and time again. No matter how good my temper is, I have to teach her the rules. As long as she apologizes to me properly, I won’t pursue the matter. How about that?”
Previously, she didn’t know this young lady’s exact identity, so Ruth still had some worry.
Now that Ruth knew that this young lady was from the Garcia family, she would settle the old and new scores together.
