Chapter 072 Arrogance

Sienna's words made Bernice furious, but she didn't dare to explode in front of her. Now, the fate of the Smith Group was in this woman's hands, and she could only swallow her pride.

"Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?" Ethan spoke up at this moment, his gaze sharp as a knife, landing on Sienna's face.

Sienna became even more enraged when she heard him speak. She angrily exclaimed, "Right, I have a condition for your useless husband! You must break his right hand in front of me. Because yesterday, he used that hand to hit me. If you can't do it, then there's nothing to discuss!"

Bernice let out a deep sigh and said, "Then I'll kneel down..."

Except, it was at this moment that Ethan grabbed hold of Bernice and took a step forward, saying in a cold voice, "Sienna, I'm giving you a chance now. Don't push your luck! Publish an article online immediately, offering a sincere apology to the Smith Group. And then, as you said yesterday, sign the contract with the Smith Group free of charge!"

"Hahaha, pushing my luck? Today, I'll see who's pushing their luck!" Sienna's expression suddenly turned cold, and she clapped her hands forcefully.

After three rounds of applause, the doors of several rooms on the first floor opened, and bodyguards dressed in black suits appeared.

On the upper left side of their suit chests, there was a gilded dragon, the emblem of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

More than ten strong and fierce men immediately stood behind Sienna with their hands behind their backs, casting a very cold gaze at Ethan and Bernice.

Bernice couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. These people were all from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

It was clear that Sienna had made thorough preparations to deal with them.

"What's the matter? You still want to get physical with me?" Sienna looked disdainfully at Ethan and asked slowly.

Ethan looked expressionless as he glanced at the bodyguards from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce standing behind Sienna. His expression didn't change in the slightest. In his eyes, they were nothing more than a group of ants.

Sienna picked up a cigarette from the table and put it in her mouth. One of the bodyguards quickly took out a lighter and snapped it, bringing the flame close to Sienna's lips.

Sienna lit the cigarette and took a puff before smirking, "What's wrong? Weren't you arrogant just now? Now that you see I have more people here, you suddenly have nothing to say?"

Ethan shook his head and said, "I just don't want to waste my words. It seems like you're not planning to apologize for your actions."

"Apologize? Are you joking? As a noble person like me, do I need to bow down and apologize to you two scoundrels? It's truly laughable!" Sienna said coldly, a hint of disdain in her voice before taking a puff of cigarette.

A sneering laugh escaped from Sienna's lips. "I've laid out my terms, and it's up to you to make a choice. But let me inform you, even if you don't bow down now, you'll still be kneeling before me after the Smith Group goes bankrupt. Consider it an act of mercy that I only demand three days of submission."

Sienna's mocking smile grew stronger on her face as she looked down upon Bernice and Ethan with superiority.

"James, give me David's number," Ethan said without hesitation, pulling out his phone and dialing James' contact.

Without wasting time, James forwarded David’s number to Ethan’s phone, as he and David had been prison mates and had some business dealings together in Boston. It was normal for them to have some connection.

Upon hearing Ethan's words, Sienna couldn't help but chuckle. "You want to speak to the chairman? No need for this charade, I'll give him to you directly."

"He's clearly pretending, how would he know any chairman?"

"He's just trying to scare Sienna with that line, but little does he know, Sienna is the chairman's most beloved woman!"

"Indeed, even if he manages to call the chairman, he'll only be shooting himself in the foot."

The bodyguards couldn't help but snicker. Ethan didn't even realize the seriousness of the situation, having hit the woman dear to the chairman and expecting the chairman to back him up?

David was notoriously overprotective!

Bernice, watching from the side, was growing increasingly anxious. She couldn't believe Ethan had such connections to be able to reach someone like David.

And Sienna's backer was David himself. Even if they managed to contact him, it would only make things worse, as David wouldn't take their side.

"Hello?" David's voice came through the receiver.

"It’s Ethan," Ethan said flatly.

Upon hearing the voice, David couldn't help but shudder. The big demon had indeed come knocking on his door.

That day at the Dragon Chamber of Commerce's entrance, he pretended not to see Ethan, hoping Ethan wouldn't come looking for him. But now it seemed he couldn't escape!

"Mr. McKellen, long time no see. Why did you think of contacting me?" David said politely, with a hint of nervousness and awkwardness in his laughter. "Regarding the incident at the chamber entrance, it was my subordinate's mistake. I've already taken care of him, so please don't hold me accountable."

Ethan's voice turned cold. "You insignificant little bug, I'm currently at Sienna's mansion with over a dozen of your thugs ready to attack me. Would you like to come and witness it?!"

"What?!" David's soul almost left his body upon hearing these words.

"Keep pretending, I don't believe anyone would dare to call the chairman a little bug!"

"Such arrogance."

"In my last encounter, I witnessed someone disrespecting the president, and as a result, their legs were broken that same night."

"There seems to be no one on the other end of the phone, just putting on a show here, isn't it interesting?"

Seeing this scene, the bodyguards couldn't help but sneer, thinking that Ethan was being arrogant.

Sienna, with her arms crossed, smirked and said, "Let him continue with his act. If the president doesn’t called within ten minutes, just break his limbs. I'll personally call the president to come and see this waste of space!"

The bodyguards all nodded involuntarily.

Ethan said, "Your woman gave you ten minutes. If you don't come, she'll break my limbs."

"Mr. McKellen, stay calm, sit down and smoke, I'll come over immediately!" David exclaimed. There were already frantic noises coming from the phone. "Quick, drive me to Sienna's place..."

Ethan casually hung up the phone and put it in his pocket.

"What's the matter, can't keep up the act? Can't pretend anymore?" Sienna looked at Ethan, smiling subtly.

Ethan turned to Bernice and said, "Are you thirsty? Do you want me to pour you a glass of water?"

Bernice couldn't help but stare and said, "Ethan, do you really have a problem with your head?"

Ethan picked up a glass and poured two glasses of water, giving one to Bernice.

"I'm thirsty from all this talking with this woman." Ethan smiled and spoke.

Bernice was speechless, seriously doubting if Ethan had a problem with his head or if he was just intimidated by Sienna's presence.

Sienna patiently looked at the delicate watch on her wrist. Ten minutes had passed, she looked up, smiling, and said, "It's been ten minutes, but the president hasn't arrived yet!"

Bernice pursed her lips, realizing that Ethan's call was just for show. How could he possibly contact someone as important as David?

"Beat him, beat him severely, cripple his hands and legs for me!" Sienna suddenly turned cold and sternly ordered.

About ten bodyguards immediately acted, surrounding Ethan and Bernice.

Tears welled up in Bernice's eyes helplessly, pleading, "Sienna, I'll kneel for you, just don't let them hurt him...""

"Sure, kneel, knock your head hard! Don't stop until I say so!" Sienna sneered.

After saying these words, Bernice's knees bent, preparing to kneel down.
