Chapter 4
There was a sudden silence in the meeting room when everyone saw such a scene.
Looking at Peter’s flattering appearance, the middle-aged men present became increasingly resentful.
On such a solemn occasion, he even brought such a woman!
Once again, the middle-aged men present were sure that Peter simply did not take them seriously!
“Miss Bailey? What brought you here?” However, someone in the meeting room recognized Marina and stood up in a hurry to greet her.
He was very cautious when he greeted Marina.
It made the other middle-aged men look at him with puzzled expressions on their faces.
“Aunt Daisy told me that uncles are a bit dissatisfied with Peter, so she asked me to come over and see what happened,” Marina replied lightly.
Then she sat down directly in the main seat.
Marina was there for the first time. Only the person who greeted her just now knew her because he had just been to the main branch of the Bailey family, and the other middle-aged men there did not know her.
Seeing her behavior, the other middle-aged men couldn’t help but frown.
They couldn’t figure out why a young girl dared to sit in the main seat.
They even felt that Peter did not deserve to sit in the main seat.
“Little girl, you’re sitting in the wrong seat. That’s not a place for you to sit.” Someone objected.
As soon as he said this, Peter and the person who knew Marina’s identity looked over.
And a look similar to sympathy appeared on their faces.
They thought in their hearts, “This man is done for!”
“Oh, really? But I like this seat. What should I do?” Marina held her chin in one hand and turned slightly sideways while glancing at that man with her beautiful eyes.
Her tone was uncharacteristically warm and gentle.
“Who told you that you can sit there if you like it? There are so many things I like. Should I take possession of everything?” Hearing Marina’s gentle words, that man thought Marina was merely an ignorant little girl.
And there was even more disdain in his eyes.
The ancestors of the Bailey family engaged in illegal businesses in the early years.
And they later turned most of their businesses into legitimate businesses for various reasons.
However, these elders of the Bailey family had all worked hard together with the people from the previous generation of the Bailey family.
Because of this, these middle-aged men looked down upon the younger generation of the Bailey family so
much.
Therefore, they always put on the airs of elders and were high and mighty in front of the younger generation

of the Bailey family.
“What you said seems a bit reasonable,” Marina said and nodded in agreement.
“Since you think it makes sense, why don’t you stand up…” Before the man could finish his words, his neck. suddenly got pinched.
Then his body was lifted into the air. And in the next second, someone severely hit him to the ground.
The man was in pain and could not make a sound.
He huddled on the ground.
However, the man who had pinched his neck just now raised his fist to hit his face.
The pupils of the man on the ground dilated instantly. If this punch hit him on the head, his skull would probably be broken.
But at this moment, he couldn’t make a sound.
He could only watch the punch fall.
“Sev!” However, just as the punch was about to fall on the man’s face, a pleasant voice sounded suddenly.
The punch stopped in front of the man’s eyes.
The man was scared out of cold sweat and even wetted his pants in fear.
Suddenly, there was a smell of urine in the air.
“Sev, didn’t I already tell you before we came here? Don’t be too impulsive. Why didn’t you listen? Look, you scared him,” Marina, who was seating on the main seat, said.
She was with a strange expression of disapproval.
But her tone did not sound like she was blaming Sev.
“He spoke rudely to Miss Bailey!” Sev said with an expressionless face.
“But you don’t need to break his skull, right?” Marina asked deliberately.
“These are all my uncles here. You should be polite to them.” Marina slowly admonished her bodyguard Sev.
