Ethan Herd spoke boldly, making his attitude and position clear from the get-go.
"I have a lot of respect for you elders, but I care about my girlfriend even more."
Moreover, he didn't regard Anthony Davis as the President, he just saw him as Scarlett Glenn's uncle—an ordinary person. He couldn't care less about whatever titles the man held.
Scarlett Glenn's face flushed red. This guy wasn't timid at all, to speak so boldly right off the bat... However, she hadn't seen Ethan for several days and indeed, she missed him, too.
She looked up stealthily at Anthony Davis and sure enough, her uncle's complexion wasn't looking too good. Albeit still appearing calm... the corners of his mouth were tightened slightly, a sign that he was not pleased. The President was not pleased.
Both Mr. Davis and Anthony Davis had somewhat gloomy expressions, seemingly blaming them for bringing the guest over.
