Bang! The glass bottle smashed into someone's head!
The heavy glass bottle shattered instantly, causing a break in his complex and solid skull as the fragrant white wine and blood spilled down his face.
"Waa!" The folks surrounding them unconsciously screamed in fear as they saw the scenario unfold in front of them, stunned. They were afraid on the unfolding scene in front of them.
They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw Brendan take the white wine bottle and attempt to smash it at Ethan. However, the individual whose head was broken open by the wine bottle was Brendan, not Ethan! How did that happened?
No one in the room witnessed Ethan grab Brendan's bottle and smash it on his head in less than a second!
"Ahhhh!" Brendan stood stunned for a long time before hugging his head and weeping aloud.
Ethan casually placed the broken half of the wine bottle on the ground, picked up a stack of snow-white napkins on the table, and slowly wiped the spilled wine from his hands.
Nobody dared to speak during the entire process. They were utterly stunned on what they saw.
Only after wiping his hands clean did Ethan look at Brendan, whose head was covered in blood. "I exposed the truth, and now you want to kill me out of rage and shame?" "Hah, you're not worthy of fighting me. Your little dirty tricks won't work with me."
Ethan's voice was calm and composed, yet it terrified Brendan. When Brendan thought about it, he remembered how uncomfortable he had become when he tried to deal with Ethan on countless occasions before! Now his head is bleeding.
"Brendan, are you alright!?!" Thaddeus dashed over and grabbed a clean napkin to put on Brendan's head wound, hoping to stop the bleeding.
Thaddeus looked at Ethan with resentment. He wanted to chastise him for being overly nasty, but when he noticed Ethan's frigid stare, he subconsciously stopped himself.
He'd already seen how brutal Ethan could be. Previously, Ethan had hurried to the Reed home and nearly strangled him. Ethan would never see Thaddeus as an older and afford him mercy. He and Brendan meant nothing to Ethan! Even if he punished Ethan, he would not be bothered. He might even become upset and beat him up. This guy is someone they cannot mess up with.
Thinking about this, Thaddeus had no choice but to swallow his rage and bear it.
Ferry inhaled and sat steeply to the side. Ethan's expressionless smashing of Brendan's head with the wine bottle at lightning speed was horrifying. He did not see how it happened. He was perplexed.
Ferry could also see that Ethan had shown him mercy. Otherwise, Brendan would have had more than just a crack in his skull.
Ferry also suspected something was wrong when he saw Ethan's means.
He did not behave conscientiously, as a dinner guest should. His actions may be interpreted as exceedingly disrespectful to the Carrolls.
Ethan had just urged him to avoid him tonight if he didn't want to regret his decision. At the time, Ferry had no idea what he was talking about and assumed Ethan was a tiny fry seeking trouble, just like Brendan.
But Ferry now realized what Ethan meant. Ethan's attendance at the baby shower today appeared to be malevolent. He was optimistic that Ethan was going to stir trouble! He's presence in the party is not to collaborate or mingle but to cause trouble to Carrolls!
After a long quiet, the folks around them couldn't help but talk amongst themselves. Discussing the scene that unfolded. Waiting for the Carrols to intervene. This is their party, after all.
"Wow, they just dubbed him a good-for-nothing live-in son-in-law, but he appears ruthless and has quick reflexes. He beat up the Reeds' wastrel without thinking twice. He does not appear to be a simple person at all! Truly everyone has a dark secret inside the family."
"Yeah, but Brendan Reed was the one who wanted to smash the bottle at him initially, but he grabbed it and retaliated instead! I didn't see what truly happened. It happened so fast. Now it's difficult to tell!"
"Tsk, judging by Brendan Reed's appearance, what Ethan Knight mentioned might be true. The Reeds might have set Anastasia Reed up to steal her company. This is quite ruthless! They are all one family. "Must they be this cruel? I won't collaborate with a Corporation that makes nasty tactics to get profits."
"Families like ours may not have a perfect history, but people who manufacture such a massive scandal to frame their family members are extremely unusual! It's not surprising that the Reeds are diminishing. Now that Spark Enterprises has vanished, their reputation has plummeted, and I believe they nearly went bankrupt some time ago! Trust they deserve it after all."
Brendan and Thaddeus were furious and wanted to vomit blood after hearing these statements.
Who imagined that Ethan would abruptly divulge their long-buried secret in public today? They looked for partnerships with this party, but the opposite happened.
Furthermore, Brendan's attempt to bash Ethan's head with the wine bottle gave everyone the impression that he was in a rage due to shame and sought to hide it. What a wrong move.
Now, the Reeds' reputation was utterly shattered!
However, although they were murmuring and gossiping about Anastasia and the Reeds, many thought Ethan's behavior was absurd.
"No matter what, it's the Carrolls' baby shower today. He inflicted bloodshed by slamming the bottle against Brendan Reed's head. "That is extremely unlucky!"
"I wonder how the Carrolls will deal with this! If I were them, I would not let anyone get away with causing trouble."
Some individuals spoke softly but were afraid to look Ethan in the eyes.
Two guests got into a brawl, resulting in carnage during the feast. The middle-aged steward was irritated when he saw this scene and had already sent someone to complain to the higher-ups.
A young man in his late thirties, dressed in a suit and gold-framed glasses, approached with a commanding swagger. He resembled an elite, but he was now frowning. He had heard the commotion and hurriedly went to see the situation. Anyone who discovered that someone had caused problems and something unlucky, such as bloodshed, at their celebratory meal would undoubtedly be disappointed.
This person's presence immediately caused everyone around him to widen their eyes, smile enthusiastically, and bow and greet him.
"Mr. Carroll, you're here."
"Mr. Carroll, congratulations!"
"Mr. Carroll, it's good to see you!"
This man was Alan Carroll's brother, Bobby Carroll, and the Carroll family's third-generation heir.
Bobby was claimed to have studied overseas for several years, majoring in business management. He was incredibly competent, and despite his youth, he was already being nurtured and trained as the Carroll family's future generation. As a result, no one who knew him dared to underestimate him. He's a competent man with a deep business acumen.
The baby shower was for Bobby's newborn son.
Everyone stared at Ethan gleefully now that the host had arrived to handle the problem personally. This is something they have been waiting for to happen.
