Chapter 283 Say That Again

Tina straightened with an arrogant air, her chest puffed out slightly as a derisive chuckle escaped her. Her gaze swept over Brenna with clear disdain. “Interesting. Who exactly do you think you are? You are not even worthy of making a bet with me.”

The insult came easily to her. But then, her eyes accidentally met Ethan’s. The murderous look there sent chills down her spine.

The Russell and Mitchell families shared a long history. Her brother, Jayceon, had been Ethan’s childhood friend Like Jayceon, she had always addressed Ethan in a familiar way. Ethan had always treated her with a gentle sort of patience–until this moment.

That icy, lethal stare was completely new to her. She could no longer hold Ethan’s gaze. She knew Brenna was Ethan’s girlfriend, but her pride kept her chin up. So what if she had insulted Brenna? She wouldn’t apologize to her!

Ethan’s sweeping gaze took in the silent crowd; no one stepped out to defend Brenna until little Patrick, his face red, stood in front of Brenna in a protective posture. “Don’t you dare insult my godmother!” The boy threw a piece of cake at Tina with surprising accuracy.

The cake hit Tina’s face directly. Cream splattered and then plopped onto her expensive dress.

“You little bastard, how dare you do that to me?” Tina shrieked. “I’ll beat you for this!”

Ethan’s large hand rested on Patrick’s head, a sharp smirk on his face. “Good throw. I’ve got you. Let’s see who dares to punish you for it.”

His voice was calm and steady, without any anger, yet it held an undeniable authority that silenced everyone

present.

Tina had already stood up, raising her hand angrily to grab Patrick. But when her furious eyes met Ethan’s cold

stare, she was instantly shocked by the murderous intent in his eyes.

She sank back onto the sofa, bursting into tears. “Grandma! They’re bullying me in my own home!”

Brenna finally spoke, her tone indifferent. “I wasn’t aware that the Russell family bullied guests who came with

good wishes. Even if I’m not the Harper family’s daughter, just an ordinary person coming with good intentions,

you shouldn’t treat me like this, right? Mrs. Russell, what do you think?”

Amy’s face turned pale, and she snorted heavily. While Brenna was right about basic hospitality, she believed Brenna didn’t deserve an apology.

In her opinion, Rosie was the real Harper family’s daughter, while Brenna was hardly better than a servant. She

didn’t deserve to be in her house, let alone at her birthday.

Amy snatched the TV remote and threw it. “Didn’t your upbringing teach you any manners? Or is this the way Shepard taught you to speak to an elder?”

“My father taught me to give respect where it’s due,” Brenna replied smoothly. “Some people just don’t deserve

respect.”

All of the Russells got angry at that.

Davin Russell pointed a finger at Brenna. “Say that again!”

Ethan’s gaze sharpened instantly, the air growing tense. “If the Russell family members continue to show disrespect to Brenna, I will not hold back. I happen to have some free time lately. I could help clear the bad things in Shirie.”

The Russell family members‘ faces paled. Ethan was ready to bring down the Russell family, and he had the power to do so.
