Returning With A Thousand Favors By Flora Isabel
Chapter 125

Chapter 125 

“All the people involved should be taken away for investigation. None of you can escape,” Ethan enunciated each word. 

When Leon heard that, he became anxious. 

He didn’t even know what to say. 

Instead, Marina, who was standing behind Leon, raised her hand and patted Leon’s shoulder gently. 

Leon turned around and glanced at Marina. 

“Marina, it’s all my fault. I implicated you,” Leon said in an apologetic tone. 

Leon had never thought that things would go on like this. 

“It has nothing to do with you. They’re here to target me. Just stand behind me.” Marina gave Leon a look. 

Then, Marina’s eyes swept over Ethan. 

“May I ask what position you are in, sir?” 

“You are not qualified to ask about it!” Hannah couldn’t help but retort. 

“Why can’t I ask about it? He just said that he wants to take me for investigation. At least I have to know who is taking me away, right?” Marina looked a little indifferent. 

It was as if Marina was not shocked by the scene in front of her at all. 

At that moment, Ruth’s expression became slightly different.. 

Marina seemed to be a little different from what Ruth had imagined. 

Logically speaking, when Marina faced a person in power, there should be some fear in her eyes. 

However, Ruth did not see anything. 

“I’m the secretary–general of the mayor of Janeborough. I’m in charge of the safety of the performance. I wonder if I have the right to bring you to investigate,” Ethan did not hide his identity and said it out loud. 

“Oh, so you are the mayor’s secretary–general.” Marina nodded thoughtfully. 

Ethan was puzzled by Marina’s reaction. 

Normally, Marina should have restrained herself when Ethan revealed his identity. 

But Marina seemed to have a hint of disdain in her expression. 

Ethan thought, “Could I have seen it wrongly? 

“Or perhaps the identity of the woman in front of me is not simple.” 

Ethan’s eyes were fixed on Ruth at the side, and there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes. 

Ruth shook her head slightly, indicating that Marina didn’t have any special background.

Only then did Ethan calm down. 

If Marina didn’t have an impressive background, she would just be an ignorant young lady who didn’t know much about the world. 

If so, it was normal that Marina did not know what Ethan’s identity represented. 

“Please come with me.” Ethan regained his composure and said to Marina and the others rather seriously. 

“Marina, it seems that Ethan is quite a high official. I’m afraid even if our teacher comes, he won’t be able to do anything. Leon’s face was ashen. 

Leon did not expect Hannah to have such a powerful background. 

He had underestimated her previously. 

Marina ignored Leon and fiddled with the phone in her hand casually. 

Reading the message she had just received, Marina could not help but smile faintly.. 

“I will go for investigation. I’m just afraid that someone is unwilling to let me go.” Marina’s slender fingers touched the phone screen a few times. She was typing and replying to the message. 

“I’m investigating according to the rules. No matter who it is, they have no right to stop me.” Ethan’s tone was firm. 

“Is that so? Then turn around and take a look.” Marina raised an eyebrow casually. 

“Young lady, you don’t need to play such tricks with me. If you’re innocent, I won’t make things difficult for you. After I find out the truth, I’ll let you go.” Ethan didn’t turn around as Marina said. 

Ethan felt that Marina was deliberately mystifying and stalling for time. 

“Marina? You are really here!” At that moment, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from behind Ethan. 

The voice made Ethan’s body stiffen. 

It was because Ethan was quite familiar with the voice. It was…. 

Before Ethan could turn around, he saw a tall man walk past him and go straight toward Marina. 

Then, the man stood in front of Marina excitedly. 

“Marina, when you were on stage just now, I felt that you looked a little familiar. However, you were wearing makeup and a dress, and I didn’t recognize you for a moment. Only when I received the message you sent me did I ensure that it was really you!” Brendon Carrell, the mayor of Janeborough, looked at Marina excitedly. 

Brendon wanted to give Marina a hug. 

However, Brendon looked at Marina’s floor–length gown and exquisite makeup. 

He retracted his hands. 

Since Marina was dressed so beautifully, Brendon did not dare to hug her casually. 

“Mr. Carrell, do you know this young lady?” Ethan finally came back to his senses and asked with a trembling voice. 

“Of course, I know her. She is my good friend who has been through life and death with me. She saved my life!” Brendon looked back at Ethan and said with a flushed face.

Chapter 125 

“Friend… Your good friend?” Ethan blinked his eyes in surprise. 

“It is a long story. When I first met Marina, she was a boy… No, she was agirl who disguised as a boy,” Brendon finally explained clearly. 

When Ethan heard that, his face instantly turned pale. 

Then, he glared fiercely at Ruth from the corner of his eye. 

He blamed Ruth inwardly. “Didn’t you say that she is just a girl with no background? 

“How could a girl with no background know the mayor? 

“How could she even become the mayor’s friend? 

“Moreover, she is the mayor’s savior! 

“This time, you have caused great trouble for me!” 

Ruth didn’t expect things to turn over like this, and she was stunned for a moment. 

Hannah was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. 

Why was Marina so familiar with the mayor? 

Could it be that even the mayor had an affair with Marina? 

“By the way, why are you all gathered here? Did something happen?” After Brendon recovered from the surprise to meet Marina again, he realized that the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward. 

“It’s nothing serious. It’s just that… Mr. Bonner thought that I might be a suspicious and potential lawbreaker. He wants to bring me for investigation.” Marina glanced at Ethan leisurely. 

Brendon immediately turned to look at Ethan. “Is there such a thing?” 

Cold sweat appeared on Ethan’s forehead. He raised his hand to wipe it away. 

“Mrs. Hernandez called me just now and said that someone changed the program at the last minute. She was afraid that something was wrong, so she asked me to come and check.” Ethan had no choice but to expose Ruth. 

Brendon’s eyes were fixed on Ruth who stood aside. 

Brendon was a little familiar with Ruth, but he did not have much of an impression of her. 

Brendon’s expression became serious in an instant. 

“Ethan, you have been by my side for so long. Why did you become more and more incompetent in handling things? How could you believe others‘ words so easily? You didn’t even investigate the situation clearly, yet you intended to take people away. Don’t you remember the purpose of serving the people?”
