“What’s wrong? Can’t you tell me?” Marina noticed Gavin’s expression, and her tone involuntarily became high–strung.
“No.” Gavin immediately lowered his head.
It was because Simon had previously told Gavin that Marina had not been in good health recently.
Hence, Simon instructed Gavin not to tell Marina anything for the time being
“Don’t worry. I’ll handle the auction house on my side. Aren’t you still looking for Peter?
“We can split up and work separately. This way, we can be more efficient,” Simon comforted. However, Marina could not accept his suggestion.
“I’m fine. I don’t want rest. I want to handle this matter myself.” Marina knew what Simon meant. He was hoping that Marina could have more time to rest.
He was also afraid that Marina would run into danger if she went out.
However, her family was already in such a state. How could Marin still afford to rest?
Simon stared at Marina for a moment.
After confirming that he had no way to convince her, he could only agree to her request. That night, Simon brought Marina to the auction house, where Sharon was found. When Simon and the others entered, the auction house was still not open for business. Other than a few staff members, there were no guests.
As soon as the cleaning staff saw Simon and Marina, they greeted them immediately. “Guests, we’re not officially open for business yet. How did you get in? The front door was always locked.
“Get your supervisor out!” Marina was too lazy to explain to them and instead cut to the chase..
“Miss, we are not open for business yet. Please leave quickly. Otherwise, I’ll have to call for help.”
The staff had experienced things like this before.
After all, when one worked in such places, it was inevitable to run into troublemakers.
They realized Marina was there to create trouble, and the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared.
As soon as the staff finished speaking. Marina looked at him coldly.
Then, without any hesitation, she gave him a hard kick.
The staff was thrown a dozen feet back instantly.
He then crashed heavily onto the ground.
He curled into a ball and hugged his stomach, wailing in pain.
The commotion attracted the attention of the other staff in the auction house.
More than ten burly bodyguards immediately rushed forward.
Oscar and Lee, who had been standing behind Marina, walked up with a murderous expression.
Ten minutes later
All the bodyguards in the room fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
Marina walked up to the nearest bodyguard.
She put a foot on his chest.
The bodyguard winced in pain.
“I’ll give you one last chance. If you still refuse to reveal yourself, I’ll burn this place down!” Marina said as she looked at the bodyguard under her foot.
In reality, she was talking to the boss hiding in the shadows
As expected.
About two minutes later, a middle–aged man, who looked to be in his fifties, and wearing a well–ironed suit appeared
He was also wearing a gentleman’s hat.

He walked down from the second floor elegantly with his walking stick.
“I wonder what we did to offend this beautiful lady?” The middle–aged man did not seem threatened by the scene before
him.
Instead, he was calm.
“You’re the boss here?” Marina stared straight at him.
“Yes. So, if you have any requests, you can let me know directly. On account of your beauty, I will make sure to stand on your side.”
The middle–aged man’s gaze swept up and down Marina’s body.
He did not look like he was apologizing.
Instead, it was as if he was sizing up an exquisite and perfect product.
“Good that you own up.” Marina said after getting a confirmation from the boss.

Marina no longer vented her anger on the bodyguard she was pressing under her foot.
She retracted her foot and slowly walked towards the middle–aged man.
Her hands by her sides were clenched into tight fists.
When Marina was one meter away from the middle–aged man, she suddenly quickened her pace, tightened her fists, and
attacked him.
The middle–aged man did not even dodge.
Marina’s fist was about to hit his face.
Suddenly, a two–meter tall man suddenly appeared from the side.
He opened his palm and grabbed Marina’s fist.
Marina was forced to take a few steps back.
Marina looked at the tall man standing before her with a cold expression.
“Ms. Bailey!” Oscar and Lee immediately stepped forward to help when they saw this.
“Don’t come any closer!” Marina shouted.
Oscar and Lee stopped in their tracks.
“Little girl, this is not a place you can stir trouble.”
“It’s not too late for you to leave now. I won’t pursue this matter.” The boss looked at Marina calmly.
Although he said that, there was a cold and dark glint underneath his eyes.
“You won’t pursue the matte? But I will pursue the matter with you!” Marina pursed her red lips into a straight line.
She grabbed the big man by his wrist.
Then, she jumped and gave the big guy a flying kick.
Marina used all her strength in that kick.
Moreover, the body part where she landed her kick was a critical point. She had deliberately kicked him in that
spot.
The tall man felt half of his body going numb.
He immediately staggered back a few steps.
Meanwhile, Marina took this opportunity to wrench her hand free.
She did not give the other party any time to react, and she attacked again.
In a battle between experts, the outcome was decided in a flash.
The tall man lost the upper hand in his daze.
The only thing left for him was getting bashed up.
However, his height gave him an edge.
He had a higher endurance than most people.
However, Marina did not want to fight a long battle with him.
Rather than fighting him head–on, she had a much better chance if she channeled her strength.

Therefore, Marina hit him on his sensitive areas. Every time it hit him, they hurt like hell.
In less than ten minutes, the tall man collapsed.
But Marina was not affected at all, other than panting slightly.
When the boss saw the tall man fall, his composed expression dissolved.
Marina then turned and locked her gaze on him.
“Now, do you still think I can’t afford to offend you?” Marina’s eyes were slightly bloodshot.
She was like an alpha wolf filled with murderous intents.
She looked like she could tear any prey she was staring at into pieces.
Her gaze intimidated the boss.
He tightened his grip on his walking stick.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
“Miss, I have no intention of becoming your enemy. I said it just now. If you have any requests, you can tell me.”
“So, please tell me, what is the purpose of your visit today?”
“If the problem can be resolved by a simple discussion, there is no need to make a scene.”
