Chapter 838
838:
Tina was in a bad mood. “I give up. I’ve spent so much time visiting Jayceon every single day just for a glimpse of Ethan, but he won’t even spare me a look. Not once. I think he’s simply not interested in me.” Isabella kept smirking, her eyes mocking.
Tina glared at her.
Isabella hardly bothered to hide her contempt, thinking Tina was beneath her now. “Why don’t you tell us exactly how you failed? Maybe I can help you out. Denis can’t resist me, and I’ve got plenty of tricks for dealing with men. Tell us what happened, and I might give you some pointers.”
Tina, brought up as a privileged individual, had nothing but disdain for women like Isabella, who used their looks to get ahead. If Isabella weren’t useful to Rosie, Tina wouldn’t even sit with her.
“I don’t need your advice on seducing men. How can you even compare Denis to Ethan?” Tina rolled her eyes, seeing Isabella as foolish. “Is there even a need to seduce Denis? He would practically sleep with any woman. But Ethan? He only gives his heart once, and when he does, he’s loyal for life. Don’t even think about comparing the two.”
Tina’s words didn’t sit well with Isabella, who shot back, “What are you even talking about? Do you actually know Ethan? You have no idea what he’s like in private. People can be deceiving. Perhaps his private life is messy.”
“You have no idea what you’re talking about…” Tina let all her frustration out on Isabella.
Rosie waited until they were done bickering before stepping in. “Arguing won’t get us anywhere. What matters is finding another opportunity. Better let the media catch you and Ethan in bed. Once the story’s out, let’s see how Ethan tries to deny it. He’ll be forced to marry you.”
She faced Isabella, making her point clear. “Ethan is loyal in a relationship. We grew up together. I understand his character better than anyone. Tina, believe me, he’s worth all the trouble.”
Inwardly, Rosie worried that Tina might give up altogether. That would force her to find someone else to come between Ethan and Brenna. She continued, “Don’t worry. I will help you. Just keep visiting Jayceon in the hospital. Use that time to get closer to Ethan.”
Frustration etched across Tina’s face. “Jayceon’s getting discharged soon. He’ll be recovering at home, and I’ve never been invited there. What reason do I have to visit him? He’s already caught on and told me to stop visiting him.”

Rosie gritted her teeth in silence, exasperated. She thought that Tina was so stupid.
Tina felt torn. Part of her wanted to keep chasing after Ethan, yet she couldn’t ignore the fact that he had no real interest in her.
Letting go felt difficult, especially since Ethan was such a catch. A marriage with him would secure her future and keep her financially comfortable. However, the possibility of Ethan marrying her seemed practically nonexistent.
She let out a resigned sigh and told Rosie, “Let’s just forget about this.”
