Chapter 062 Consequences
Seeing Ethan's behavior, Dorothy knew he was about to show off and quickly grabbed him.
"Hey, don't mess around. This is Ella's dinner to welcome important guests. If you cause trouble here, you'll be asking for trouble," Dorothy said sternly.
Although she knew Ethan, who could afford the Sky Villa, must have some background, the Aim Group in Boston was a leading company, well-known and respected.
Ignoring Dorothy's words, Ethan silently finished the food on his plate and set it aside.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Sienna was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ethan to threaten her.
"Can a person like you really say that? Threaten Sienna?"
"Fool... The assets of the Smith Group are probably not worth as much as Sienna has earned herself. And he even forces Sienna to do endorsements?"
"He must have a problem with his brain, daring to threaten VIPs at the Aim Group's banquet, as if he's afraid he can't harm the Smith Group..."
"Sienna is supported by the president of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce. Does he dare to threaten Sienna using underworld means? Sienna can teach him a lesson!"
Everyone clearly heard Ethan's words and couldn't help but sneer and gossip, thinking that Ethan had lost his mind.
Ethan calmly picked up a wet tissue, wiped his hands, and then said seriously, "I want you to fulfill your promise and sign the cooperation contract honestly!"
Sienna burst into laughter and said, "Are you even dumber than Bernice? What can you do if I don't fulfill my promise? Do you want to threaten me? I suggest you investigate who I am before threatening me!"
Dorothy bit her lip and gently pulled Ethan's arm, saying, "It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. If you really act ostentatiously at the banquet, Ella will definitely not let you or the Smith Group off. You might not be afraid, but destroying the Smith Group for the Aim Group is just a piece of cake..."
Ethan waved his hand and said, "Ella can't do anything to me. She still relies on me right now."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the crowd spewed out the champagne in their mouths.
"I must be hearing things. Does Miss Anderson, a billionaire, need a prison guard to help her?"
"Hahaha... A bragging ugly duckling has infiltrated the swan circle. It's really entertaining! We have Bernice to thank for bringing her husband and giving us so much joy tonight!"
"I really don't understand what the point of this is. Besides adding laughter, is there any benefit? Bernice must be blind to be interested in such a man."
"This useless braggart who only knows how to talk big. If he wants to approach me, I can slap him to death!"
Dorothy was also dumbfounded. Ethan's words were really terrifying. She didn't know how to respond.
Sienna smiled and said, "Miss Anderson needs you? Does she need you to help her put on her shoes, or clean the company toilets?"
Ethan ignored her and continued, "Now you have two choices: do as I say, or continue to embarrass yourself like a clown."
Sienna shook her head and said, "Do you think that's possible? Who do you think you are to talk to me like this?"
"I'm giving you a chance to..."
"In front of me, it is already an honor for you to say so much! Now that you're done with your nonsense, it's my turn to set the conditions. So, you can eat a lot, right? I want you to devour this whole roasted suckling pig, not leaving a single bone. Then, crawl out of here like a dog, to avoid lowering the standard of this banquet! Otherwise, I will use all my connections to siege the Smith Group and bankrupt them within three days!"
Sienna stared at Ethan and presented her conditions.
The dignitaries around couldn't help but laugh; Sienna indeed had the capability to do so. Being a top-tier superstar, she knew many big bosses, plus she had the powerful Dragon Chamber of Commerce backing her. It would be a matter of minutes for her to bring down the Smith Group.
"Ethan must be regretting it now. Talking without restraint has completely provoked Sienna!"
"Regular entrepreneurs wouldn't dare to offend Sienna, a superstar of her caliber. The Smith Group, a small entity, is just asking to be scolded."
"Just a moment ago, Bernice only lost some dignity, but now they might go bankrupt! I bet if Bernice were here, she'd have murderous thoughts towards her own husband."
After hearing Sienna's words, Ethan lightly raised his eyebrows and then smiled.
"Hey, prison guard, if I were you, I would quickly comply with Sienna's request."
"You were just enjoying your meal, weren't you? Hurry up and finish this roast pig, then crawl out."
"Sienna truly understands people. It's just a twenty-pound suckling pig; if you try your best and induce vomiting a couple of times, you'll probably have a chance!"
Sienna crossed her arms and looked at Ethan arrogantly, as if she was observing an ant.
Ethan took a moment, then smiled and said, "No negotiation?"
"No negotiation. If you don't just die right here today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave through this door!" Sienna said coldly.
"Oh, I'm so scared..." Ethan intentionally said this, nodding his head.
The people around couldn't help but laugh; they realized now that he was scared. Wasn't it a little too late?
Dorothy couldn't help but sweat nervously; Ethan couldn't back out now.
"Sienna, let it go. After all, you and Bernice were old classmates. Making her embarrassed is already enough. Why not be the bigger person?" Dorothy stepped forward and advised.
"Get lost! Who are you to come and advise me?" Sienna's expression turned cold, and she raised her hand, slapping Dorothy directly across the face.
Dorothy covered her cheek and took two steps back, her face filled with disbelief. She never expected Sienna to actually hit her!
Ethan reached out and supported Dorothy's back, his smile fading from his face, and his whole demeanor turning icy cold.
"Come, speak slowly," Ethan said. "You better apologize and then let my friend return the slap, or else the one who won't be able to leave alive through this door today will be you!"
Sienna paused for a moment, then scoffed and said, "Only useless people talk big without doing anything. You've said a lot of nonsense, but I haven't seen you do anything!"
"You need to understand that this is Ella's banquet hosted by the Aim Group! And you need to understand even more that I am a long-term partner of the Aim Group. Many of the Aim Group's projects rely on me for advertising endorsements!"
"Even if I let her hit me, do you think she dares? Or do you know the consequences of touching me here?!"
Dorothy shook her head at Ethan, apparently not wanting things to escalate further.
But who was Ethan? He did not indulge Sienna at all. He took a step forward and delivered a powerful slap right across Sienna's face!
"Tell me, what are the consequences!" Ethan's slap knocked Sienna to the ground.
