Chapter 276
276:
But in terms of hidden power, the Wagners had the upper hand, especially when it came to shady dealings. Their operational capabilities far surpassed the Harper family’s in this aspect.
Brenna wasn’t the type to accept disrespect or back down without reason. She looked at Denis and gave a faint smile. “You said that. Not me.”
The Wagners were known for their short tempers. Any form of disrespect usually led to immediate retaliation. Some of the lesser families nearby now watched Brenna with sympathy. In their eyes, she had provoked the wrong man.
Denis snorted and said, “I’ll give you credit for being bold. But you picked on my woman, and that doesn’t sit right with me. I’m giving you a chance to apologize. If you don’t, the Harper family’s design competition might not go ahead as planned.”
Brenna had already taken a few steps away, but she turned back at the sound of his arrogant tone. “I won’t apologize. She brought it upon herself. What are you going to do about it?” she said. She was ready to throw him out without hesitation.
Just then, a group of security guards from the Harper family walked over. Since Brenna had never set foot in the building before, they didn’t recognize her. But they knew well enough that the Harper and Wagner families had always been rivals.
Because of that, they kept a cautious eye on Denis, waiting for the slightest excuse to toss him out.
“You’re pushing your luck,” Denis bristled. Few women had ever stood up to him like this.
Just then, Brenna struck him.
The next second, blood streamed from Denis’s nose.
He exclaimed in anger, “You bitch! Don’t think just because this is the Harper Group’s building, I won’t lay a hand on you! I’ve always found you irritating!”
However, Brenna was unfazed. She landed a swift kick to his side.

Isabella was utterly shocked. Brenna had struck Denis, causing Isabella to yell, “Brenna, have you lost your mind? Do you realize who he is? How could you hit him like that?”
She then turned to the security personnel, her voice sharp as she said, “Did you not witness this madwoman attack someone? Kick her out of here immediately!”
At that moment, Rosie walked into the hall, her gaze sweeping over the scene with calm indifference. She remained silent, observing as she waited for the guards to remove Brenna.
The security guards just stood there, not making a move.
Brenna flashed a sly smirk as she observed the guards doing nothing. Did they recognize her?
Denis lay slumped on the floor, groaning in pain from his back and waist, barely able to get the words out. “She’s ruthless!” he growled.
Isabella rushed to his side, her face filled with concern. “Can you stand? Should we head to the hospital?” she asked.
As Denis struggled to push himself up, pain shooting through his back, he pointed a trembling finger at Brenna and said, “This isn’t over! The Wagner family isn’t so easy to mess with!”
Brenna responded coolly, unfazed, “Easy or not, I still did it.”
