Chapter 277
277:
People around them chuckled in secret. Denis, notorious for his womanizing, appeared to have finally met someone who could teach him a lesson. Some even murmured that they wished he had been knocked out cold.
Fury overtaking him, Denis made a move towards Brenna.
Unfazed, Brenna watched him with disdain, poised to dodge and deliver another swift kick.
But before Denis could reach Brenna, he was propelled backward by a forceful kick. He soared through the air before crashing down with a resounding thud.
Onlookers swiftly cleared a path, allowing Denis a dramatic and clear landing.
Denis hit the floor hard, gasping, “What the hell… This hurts so much!”
Denis remained still on the floor, causing bystanders to speculate whether he was seriously injured.
“He got what was coming to him!”
“Finally, someone put him in his place!” “It was about time!”
Isabella, rooted to the spot, was overwhelmed by the turn of events. She hadn’t foreseen such an escalation. Regret flooded through her. She had hoped for Denis to stand up for her, but he ended up getting hurt. She now thought Denis was a bit useless.
With a sense of unease, she approached Denis to assess his condition, not noticing who had just kicked him.
Brenna’s eyes turned to the person who had kicked Denis. It was Ethan, looking as impeccable as ever, standing alongside top engineers from the Mitchell Group’s automotive division.
Ethan withdrew his foot and walked toward Brenna, his face showing genuine concern. “Are you hurt?” he asked.
The engineers from Mitchell Group watched the scene in disbelief. Their typically cold boss, Mr. Mitchell, had shown unexpected tenderness toward a woman. Everyone watched in stunned silence as Ethan looked at Brenna with a soft gaze.

“I’m okay,” Brenna responded softly. She and Ethan moved past Denis together, her voice firm. “Take him out of here!”
The security guards paused, thrown off by Brenna’s commanding tone.
Ethan said to them, “This is Brenna Harper, recently recognized as Mr. Harper’s biological daughter. She’s being harassed on your premises. Shouldn’t you be escorting the man harassing her off the property now?”
“Right away, Mr. Mitchell!” the guards responded immediately.
Fuming with anger, Denis said to the guards, “Don’t you dare kick me out! The Wagner Group is a competitor here, too. Why am I the one being thrown out?”
The guards were determined in their action. The chief guard replied, “It’s the designers from Wagner Group in the contest, not you personally. Why can’t we throw you out?”
They proceeded to drag Denis out by his ankles, roughly dumping him down the steps outside.
Denis had never before experienced such humiliation.
“You’ll regret this, Brenna! This isn’t over!” he muttered under his breath.
