Chapter 146 
As soon as Ruth finished speaking, she suddenly felt a pain in her knee and knelt down. 
“Mrs. Hernandez!” Hannah immediately went forward to help Ruth up. 
However, Ruth felt that her feet could not exert any strength at all. 
A hint of fear immediately appeared on Ruth’s face. 
The other people in the banquet hall were already paying attention to them. 
When they saw Ruth kneel down, they were all extremely surprised. 
What was going on? 
“Oh, even if you want to apologize to me, you don’t have to kneel down in front of me, right?” Among everyone present, only Marina had the most indifferent expression. 
“You… Did you do something to Mrs. Hernandez?” Hannah raised her head and stared at Marina with a burning gaze. 
“When did you see what I did to her? It was clearly Mrs. Hernandez who wanted to apologize to me.” Marina turned her head and gave Hannah a cold look. 
Hannah was stunned speechless. 
This woman’s aura was really too terrifying. 
Sometimes, Hannah even felt as if Simon was standing in front of her. 
Ruth, who was kneeling on the ground, was about to speak when Marina stepped forward and placed a hand on Ruth’s shoulder. 
Marina’s thumb pressed tightly on an acupuncture point behind Ruth’s ear. 
Ruth instantly realized that she could not make a sound. 
Then, Ruth looked up at Marina in horror. 
“What are you doing? Let go of Mrs. Hernandez!” Hannah quickly went forward to stop Marina. 
However, just as Hannah raised her hand, Lee at the side immediately grabbed her. 
“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Hannah struggled. 
“It’s too noisy.” Marina frowned. 
Lee instantly understood what Marina meant. He raised his hand and slashed at Hannah’s neck. 
Hannah’s entire body went limp. 
Ruth’s pupils could not help but dilate. 
Ruth did not expect that this woman would dare to commit murder in front of everyone. 
Didn’t this woman know that Ruth had the Hernandez family and the Pembroke family behind her? 
Meanwhile, Marina actually also received Ruth’s cold gaze. 
Marina immediately bent down slightly and whispered into Ruth’s ear.

“Ruth, I remember telling you last time not to try to find trouble with me anymore. Otherwise, trouble might find you first!” 
Marina’s tone was extremely cold. 
Ruth was so angry that the veins on her neck were about to explode. 
However, Ruth could not make a sound at all. Her face was red from anger, but she could not retaliate. 
After saying that, Marina took a step back, put her hands behind her back, and straightened her back. 
“Mrs. Hernandez, since you are so sincere, I’ll accept your apology. I won’t argue with you about what happened before. Get 

up. 

From her gaze and tone, it was as if Marina was pardoning Ruth. 
Ruth was so angry that she could not even breathe smoothly. 
Just as Ruth was about to fight this reckless young lady in front of her, she realized that she could actually stand up. 
Ruth was still in shock, but the surrounding crowd was in an uproar. 
“Oh my god, what’s going on? Mrs. Hernandez actually knelt down and apologized to a young lady?” 
Who exactly is that young lady? Why haven’t I seen her before?” 
“I don’t know her either, but her bearing isn’t something an ordinary family can nurture.” 
“Could she really be Mr. Garcia’s granddaughter?” 
That’s unlikely. If she’s Mr. Garcia’s granddaughter, is there a need for Mrs. Hernandez to kneel in front of her and apologize? 
For a moment, everyone was guessing Marina’s identity. 
When Ruth heard these words, her face turned gloomy and pale. 
Ruth’s entire body was trembling. 
Ruth had never felt so humiliated in her entire life.. 
“I will definitely make you and the Garcia family pay the price!” Ruth gritted her teeth in anger. 
However, Ruth’s voice was especially hoarse at this moment. Other than Marina and Alfredo, no one else could hear what Ruth was saying. 
“I think there’s something you’re mistaken about. I’m not from the Garcia family,” Marina said casually. 
“What? Then who the hell are you?” Ruth’s red eyes fixed on Marina without blinking. 
“She is my fiancée.” Just as Marina was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly sounded. 
Ruth heard this voice and immediately looked up. 
Simon walked over calmly and stood beside Marina firmly. Simon reached out and pulled Marina to his side. 
Marina looked at Simon in surprise. 
Why was this guy suddenly here at this time? 
Meanwhile, the onlookers who had been watching from the side became even more surprised.

Chapter 146 
Today was so amazing! 
There was so much surprising gossip. 
This domineering–looking young lady was actually the fiancée of the current head of the Hernandez family? 
But since when did Simon have a fiancée? 
Why had they never heard of it before? 
“What did you say?” Ruth also looked at Simon in surprise. 
“I said she’s my fiancée,” Simon repeated firmly. 
Ruth really could not maintain her expression this time. 
ON @ 77% 
“I’ve already told you not to cause trouble for her anymore before. It seems like you didn’t listen to me!” Simon’s eyes flickered with a dark light. 
“You are you going to go against me for this woman?” Ruth gritted her teeth in anger. 
Simon did not answer the question, but the expression on his face said it all. 
Between Ruth and Marina, Simon chose Marina. 
“Simon, think carefully. Without the support of me and the Pembroke family, do you think you can still sit firmly in the position of the Hernandez family’s head?” Ruth enunciated each word clearly. 
“You can give it a try.” The expression on Simon’s face did not change much. 
“Okay! Fine! Just you wait. I won’t let this go!” Ruth gritted her teeth and glared at Simon before staggering out of the hall. 
Ruth had been arrogant and noble all her life. 
Unexpectedly, Ruth’s reputation was destroyed by this young lady., 
Ruth would never give up on revenging this young lady before she succeeded. 
After Ruth left, everyone in the hall immediately put away their shocked expressions. 
They pretended to chat with each other. 
However, they had been paying attention to Simon from the corner of their eyes. 
Marina looked up at Simon and seemed to have a lot to say. 
However, Marina was not in a hurry. She only turned to look at Alfredo, who was standing at the side. 
“Mr. Garcia, I’m sorry for causing some trouble at your birthday banquet.”
