Chapter 566
566:
Brenna kept her face carefully blank, pretending not to understand what he said. Given Maxley’s status as a prince and the probable future king, she preferred to avoid any unnecessary disputes.
His remarks were biting, yet since they bore no direct consequence for her, she chose to disregard them.
Behind her, Thiago, Joe, and Tommy bristled with anger. If not for Brenna’s restraint, they would have confronted Maxley without a second thought.
Ethan absorbed Maxley’s words with patience, then firmly took Brenna’s hand, showing his resolve. “I am thoroughly content with my girlfriend. I appreciate your invitation, but my heart is already committed.”
With that declaration, he guided Brenna towards the hotel.
Maxley responded with a resigned shrug and a shake of his head, baffled by Ethan’s unwavering dedication to Brenna.
Rosie said to him, “Don’t worry. Mr. Mitchell will give what you said some thought. No one turns down an invite from Plieca’s royals. Princess Leia is the world’s gem, ten times more charming than Brenna. Once Mr. Mitchell sees her, he’s bound to fall for her.”
Maxley responded with a nod, “Indeed, once he meets her, he’ll understand who truly deserves to be by his side for life. Moreover, the advantages of allying with Plieca’s royalty are not to be underestimated.”
Stepping into the elevator, Brenna broke her silence. “Do you reckon Rosie and Maxley emerging from the hotel together means they slept together last night?”
Ethan laughed lightly, his eyes twinkling with amusement at Brenna’s inquisitive gaze. “Since when did you start delving into such gossip? I thought you steered clear of discussing such things.”
She shot Ethan a cool look. “No, it’s not that. Remember how set Rosie was on marrying you? What could’ve made her change her heart like that?”
The amusement on Ethan’s face dimmed as he dialed the hotel staff to probe the reason behind Rosie and Maxley’s presence here and whether they had spent the night together.

Moments later, as Brenna and Ethan arrived at their room, Ethan’s phone buzzed with a response. Rosie had indeed reserved a suite but had left at midnight to visit the presidential suite at the pinnacle of the hotel, departing just fifteen minutes ago with Maxley.
Ethan had activated the speakerphone when he answered the call, and after disconnecting, he turned to Brenna. “Satisfied now?”
Brenna responded with a nod. “Your team is impressively quick. I honestly didn’t expect Rosie to sleep with someone else in your hotel. It looks like she has lost all hope of winning your heart, not even bothering to hide her actions.”
As they stepped into the room, Ethan shared more news. “The royal family of Plieca is conducting a global search to find a wife for Maxley. It seems Rosie is setting her sights on that.”
Caught off guard, Brenna, who had been preoccupied with other matters, hadn’t kept up with the royal affairs.
“Rosie doesn’t actually believe that sleeping with Maxley will secure her the status, does she?” Brenna doubted Rosie was naive enough to believe that. She must have other plans.
