Chapter 239 You''d Better
Leave Now
Brenna delivered two swift kicks, sending the guards tumbling across the polished marble. She used her full strength without hesitation.
Their bodies slid across the floor, ending with heavy thuds.
Stunned, the guards could hardly believe what had just happened; they hadn''t anticipated such ferocity from someone so seemingly delicate. Despite their professional training, they struggled to ept how effortlessly Brenna had overpowered them. Grimacing, they got to their feet and prepared to beat her up.
One guard managed a strainedpliment through gritted teeth. "Impressive," he said, touching his aching side. "You''re the first to knock us both down, but don''t think you can do it again."
Meanwhile, at the front desk, a worried receptionist quickly alerted security. "We need immediate assistance in the lobby-someone is causing trouble here!"
Brenna stood unmoving, her cold gaze halting the approaching, arrogant guards in their tracks.
The guards activated their electric batons, one menacingly saying, "Consider this your final chance to walk away on your own. It''s going to hurt a lot if you don''t leave now."
From a distance, Mia observed the scene. She believed Brenna was asking for trouble here. Considering that Brenna used to be her ssmate, she spoke up. "Brenna, stop this madness. These guys are former military. You''re going to get hurt. You''d better leave now."
Yet Mia''s eyes revealed her deeper desire: she secretly hoped the guards would teach Brenna a hard lesson, thinking that Brenna was too arrogant.
Suddenly, the elevator chimed, signaling Ethan''s arrival. He noticed the scene in the lobby, his eyes turning cold.
At that moment, the guardsunched a coordinated attack on Brenna-one aiming high, the other low.
Seeing this, Ethan reacted with blinding speed, grabbing each guard by the cor and sending them flying.
The impact was even more severe this time, leaving the guards whirling from the pain.
The receptionists watched in shock, realizing that they had misjudged the situation earlier.
Ethan rushed to Brenna, his concern evident as he gently checked her for injuries. "Are you alright?" he asked tenderly.
Brenna nodded. She then turned towards the injured guards and said, "Should I call an ambnce for you guys?"
Caught off guard by Ethan''s warm attitude toward Brenna, the guards were too bewildered to respond
Ethan''s tone grew cold as he said to them sharply, "Didn''t you hear her? Answer her."

Chapter 249 Yourd Reiter i save How
The guards quickly regained theirposure, awkwardly rising from the floor while hiding their difort One of them quickly said, "Ho need for that, we''re fine. We just didn''t realize who you were earlier. Our apologies for the misunderstanding
They were still confused about Brenna''s connection with Ethan, sensing it ose significant
They knew their only recourse now was to acknowledge their mistake.
"We''re terribly sorry. Please ept our apologies," they said to Brenna Brenna dismissed them with a wave of her hand. "It''s alright. Just make sure to assess the situation thoroughly before acting next time."
The guards shared looks of relief and said, "Absolutely! We''ll handle every situation more carefully from now on." Ethan protectively wrapped his arm around Brenna''s waist as they moved toward the elevator Meanwhile, Mia turned pale, murmuring to her colleagues in a low voice, "Could she be Mr. Mitchell''s lover?" The male receptionist shook his head subtly, “Hard to say, but let''s tread carefully around all female visitors from now on. They might all have connections we aren''t aware of."
Once inside the private elevator, Ethan noticed the lunchbox Brenna was holding "What''s the asion for your visit today?" he asked.
With a smile, Brenna replied, "I brought lunch to surprise you, but ended up getting stopped at the reception." Ethan felt his heart flutter. Brenna had not onlye to visit him but had also prepared lunch as a surprise. Ethan said, "I''m going to move those receptionists and guards to different posts. I will let people who can make better decisions have their jobs."
Brenna chuckled softly. "Well, they''ll definitely remember me now. But new staff might not recognize me." Ethan said decisively, "They were disrespectful to you. I''ll be docking their bonuses this month."
When Ethan and Brenna stepped out of the elevator, the secretaries in the executive area all rose, curiosity evident on their faces.
A few of the secretaries appeared heartbroken, whispering among themselves,
"It''s over-our dream man has been snatched."
One male employeemented, "Even if you stay here forever, Mr. Mitchell wouldn''t marry you. Just drop the ''dream man'' fantasy."
"Enough," muttered one secretary as she watched Brenna disappear into Ethan''s office. She then returned to her desk, her gaze fixed emptily on herputer
screen.
