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 relationship 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?”

“You’re young, yet–you have quite a bad temper. Young lady, 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 played a few songs on stage. How could you become powerful and wealthy? Girl, you’re still too young. You have to know that you can never cross many classes in this world.”
Ruth wasn’t angry because of what Marina said.
Ruth thought Marina was just a short–sighted but arrogant young lady.
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 class 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.

Chapter 124
“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 to come.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you here.” Ruth hung up the phone after saying that.
Ruth stared at Marina with a meaningful gaze. “Young lady, it is not too late for you to apologize to me. Otherwise, you won’t have the chance when Mr. Bonner comes later.”
“If you apologize to me sincerely right now, I won’t pursue it further.” Marina raised her eyes nonchalantly.
“How presumptuous you are!” Ruth’s expression turned completely 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 disadvantage later, 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 glasses, 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.
Chapter 124
Ethan had no intention of currying favor with Ruth.
“I’ll tell you the whole story. I am here to attend the consolation perfortrance today, whose programs should have been arranged previously. But accidentally, I found out that one of the performers was changed all of a sudden without any preview.
“You should know that many high officials will come 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 accidents would be avoided.” Ruth said so with vicious intentions.
Ruth intended to hint in front of Ethan that Marina was a potential lawbreaker.
After all, many of the audience who came for the performance were high officials who needed strict security.
No accidents 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 replace me,” Leon explained 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 should come 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.
