Chapter 283 Say That Again

Tina straightened with an arrogant air, her chest puffed out slightly as a derisive chuckle escaped her. Her gaze swept over Brenna with clear disdain. "Interesting. Who exactly do you think you are? You are not even worthy of making a bet with me."

The insult came easily to her. But then, her eyes accidentally met Ethan's. The murderous look there sent chills down her spine.

The Russell and Mitchell families shared a long history. Her brother, Jayceon, had been Ethan's childhood friend Like Jayceon, she had always addressed Ethan in a familiar way. Ethan had always treated her with a gentle sort of patience-until this moment.

That icy, lethal stare was completely new to her. She could no longer hold Ethan's gaze. She knew Brenna was Ethan's girlfriend, but her pride kept her chin up. So what if she had insulted Brenna? She wouldn't apologize to her!

Ethan's sweeping gaze took in the silent crowd; no one stepped out to defend Brenna until little Patrick, his face red, stood in front of Brenna in a protective posture. "Don't you dare insult my godmother!" The boy threw a piece of cake at Tina with surprising accuracy.

The cake hit Tina's face directly. Cream splattered and then plopped onto her expensive dress.

Ethan's large hand rested on Patrick's head, a sharp smirk on his face. "Good throw. I've got you. Let's see who dares to punish you for it."

His voice was calm and steady, without any anger, yet it held an undeniable authority that silenced everyone
