Isabella turned to Silas. "Silas, don't be mad. She grew up in the countryside and has never seen a situation like this. She doesn't know what a financial war is. She isn't trying to cause trouble."
It sounded like a caring sister defending her sibling, but in reality, she was portraying Serena as an ignorant, uneducated country bumpkin in front of all the international executives, hoping to highlight her own grace and understanding.
Sure enough, the executives and board members on the screen frowned deeply. They were clearly disappointed in Silas for allowing this interruption during such a vital moment. And it was all because of Serena. If she compromised his authority, Silas would surely resent her!
"Shut up," Silas's voice cut through the room, cold and heavy.
The terrifying pressure in his tone silenced Isabella and the entire video conference. The room fell dead quiet.
"Get out," Silas repeated coldly.
Isabella rejoiced inwardly. Serena had completely angered Silas! Let's see how she acts arrogant now.
Suppressing a smirk, Isabella stepped in front of Serena like a protective shield. "Silas, she didn't mean it, you..."
"I said, get out," Silas's icy gaze locked onto Isabella. His voice dripped with frost.
