Chapter 009 My Woman

Jacob sneered. The Dragon Chamber of Commerce was a dominant force in Boston. Did he honestly need to entertain these women?

"What are you? If I give her a chance, should I give you one too?!" Jacob looked at Dorothy coldly and asked indifferently.

Jacob's brothers around him also laughed, looking at Dorothy and Bernice with mocking eyes.

Dorothy's face turned pale. Her alcohol tolerance was not good, and if she drank this bottle, she would probably end up in the hospital for gastric lavage.

Jacob said, "Miss Smith, the opportunity is given to you. It's up to you whether you can handle it."

Bernice pursed her lips. She hesitated while holding the bottle of wine in her hand. "I can't drink..." Dorothy gritted her teeth, stating her own opinion.

Jacob's face darkened, and he slapped Dorothy directly across the face with a cold sneer. "If you won't let her drink, then you drink!"

Dorothy, delicate and pampered, had never been treated so indecently before. But after receiving this slap, she didn't dare to say a word. The other party was from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and she couldn't afford to offend them.

The Dragon Chamber of Commerce was a force on par with Boston's richest man, James, and the leading company in Boston, the Aim Group.

Bernice knew Dorothy's drinking capacity but didn't expect it to be so difficult to recover the owed twenty million dollars. She made up her mind and said firmly, "I'll drink it. Jacob, don't you dare back out on the twenty million dollars you owe!"

After finishing her words, Bernice aimed the bottle at her lips and started gulping down the entire bottle of liquor.

Jacob laughed heartily, saying, "Well done, Miss Smith!"

Bernice endured the burning pain in her throat as the alcohol went down, and she nearly collapsed. She looked at Jacob with intoxicated eyes and said, "Jacob, I've finished this bottle. It's time for you to repay the twenty million dollars... I can't handle any more alcohol. I'll take my leave now..."

However, Jacob grabbed Bernice's wrist and smiled, "The money will definitely be repaid. It's rare to see such a bold hero as Miss Smith! But now that Miss Smith wants to leave, wouldn't that be disrespectful towards me?"

Bernice felt her stomach roiling, and Dorothy was desperate. If things continued like this, Bernice would be devoured by this guy Jacob!

"If that useless Ethan doesn't show up, Bernice will suffer a great loss!" Dorothy stomped her foot in anxiety, but she didn't dare provoke Jacob.

Bernice could barely stand, pleading, "Jacob, let me go home. I’m done!"

But Jacob smiled and said, "One more drink, just one more, and then I'll let you go."

"You bastard!" said Bernice. Jacob, red-eyed with anger, kicked Bernice in the abdomen, sending her flying.

Seeing this, Dorothy turned pale with fright. She never expected Bernice to have such audacity, hitting Jacob's head with a bottle.

"Oh no, Bernice has caused a big disaster!"

"Who the fuck are you? Can't you handle it yourself?" The room's private door was kicked open as Ethan stormed in, his voice cold.

Bernice's body, which was sent flying, landed right in front of Ethan. He took a quick step forward, allowing her to lean weakly against his chest.
With her last ounce of consciousness, Bernice glanced hazily at the man embracing her before slowly closing her eyes.

With a grim expression, Ethan strode towards Jacob, still holding Bernice, and slapped him hard across the face!

"Smack!"

Jacob's body lifted off the ground, spinning twice in the air before landing heavily on the floor.

Dorothy couldn't help but look at Ethan in horror. This insignificant prison officer dared to lay hands on the Dragon Chamber of Commerce for Bernice?!

The members of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce at the same table stood up immediately, without hesitation, and rushed towards Ethan.

Expressionless, Ethan held Bernice in one arm and protected her with the other. Kicking and hitting like a fluttering butterfly, thuds echoed through the room. In no time, bodies were lying all over the floor, each one curling up and clutching their stomachs as if they had turned into cooked shrimp.

"I don’t give a fuck about your drinking, but bullying my wife, that's something else." Ethan coldly chuckled and stepped on Jacob's head.

Jacob screamed in pain and angrily exclaimed, "Kid, you've caused trouble. Do you know who I am?"

"We are from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce! My boss is David, Mr. Dragon!"

Ethan, full of disdain, replied indifferently, "Underlings of a little bug, when did they have the right to bully my woman?!"

Although he didn't have deep feelings for Bernice yet, they were still legally married.

Upon hearing Ethan call David by this name, Dorothy's vision darkened, almost fainting on the spot.

If David were to hear this, not only Ethan but the entire Smith family would likely be destroyed.

"Bring the debt, or I will kill you today." Ethan bent down, lifted Jacob, and casually threw him towards the dining table.

Dorothy listened in horror. Has Ethan gone mad? After beating someone like this, does he still expect to get back the twenty million dollars owed?

"Motherf***er.

"You still want the money you owe? Touch me, and your entire family will be wiped out! Let me make it clear, not only will you not get the money you owe, but you will also have to kneel before me for three days and three nights, begging for my forgiveness! Otherwise..." Jacob wanted to say a few more words, but Ethan immediately grabbed the back of his head and forcefully smashed it against the desk, blood started to flow and cries of agony escaped from his mouth.

Jacob was completely terrified, pleading, "Please, no more beating... I can't produce the money. The funds are locked and can only be released with Mr. Dragon's signature to return it to the Smith family. Even if you kill me now, I still can't produce it!"

Furrowing his eyebrows, Ethan coldly said, "Fine, then have your assistant prepare the money for me. I'll come get it personally!"

Jacob nodded repeatedly, secretly cursing, "Son of a bitch, you still want money? I'll gather people to maim you later!"

"Let's go, why are you standing there!" Ethan said to Dorothy, as he turned and left with Bernice in his arms.

Dorothy snapped out of her daze and quickly followed Ethan, leaving this troublesome place behind. As for the troubles that might follow, it wasn't her concern.

"Ethan, you're asking for trouble. Do you realize the consequences of being so ruthless?!" Dorothy exclaimed, full of fear, scolding him all the way.

Ethan couldn't be bothered to reply. After leaving the house, he handed Bernice over to Dorothy and instructed her to take Bernice back to the Smith family, while he returned to Sky Villa.
