?Chapter 836:


    Meanwhile, Tina dared not stay in the adjacent suite any longer. She knew Ethan’s temperament well enough to realize she needed to disappear fast. If she lingered, Ethan’s people would find her soon.


    She threw on her clothes and fled.


    By the time Neville finished briefing the general manager and started his investigation, Tina was already gone.


    Less than ten minutes had passed from the incident to the arrival of fresh linens. Surveying the silent room, Neville understood that Ethan wouldn’t pursue the incident any further, especially with Tina being Jayceon’s sister.


    Tina secured a room at a different hotel. After locking herself in, she finally dared to check her phone.


    Rosie’s texts had already started piling up, each one dripping with curiosity and expectation.


    “How did things turn out? Did you pull it off?”


    A full ten minutes after the first text, another one had arrived.


    “Still no answer? Guess your n worked. Take a photo of you two together, I want to make Brenna sick to her stomach. Let’s see if she still wants Ethan after seeing…”


    “That he’s slept with someone else.” Another twenty minutes passed, and a third message came through.


    “You really pulled it off, huh? Congrats! Once you spend the night with Ethan, there’s no way he won’t marry you, even if it’s against his will. Don’t forget to thank me when you two get married.”


    Tina scrolled through the messages with a heavy heart. Rosie had gone out of her way to help her, but in the end, she hadn’t seeded at all. She perched on the edge of the bed, her eyes drifting down to her own body. Her figure was perfect—so why hadn’t Ethan shown the slightest interest in her?


    Was there something wrong with him?


    Peeling off her clothes until only her underwear remained, she studied her curves in the mirror. She believed she was attractive—so why hadn’t she been able to seduce Ethan?

    Her gaze lingered in the mirror, and a wild thought suddenly crossed her mind: Maybe Ethan was impotent. That had to be the reason he’d thrown her out so quickly.


    Yes, that must be it.


    Frustration boiling over, she quickly fired off a reply to Rosie: “I failed.”


    Noticing the clock creeping toward one in the morning, she waited for a response from Rosie. Silence from her friend confirmed that she had probably gone to bed. Tina tossed and turned, dread about Ethan’s possible revenge keeping her awake.


    Shame gnawed at her as well. She had stripped herself naked in an attempt to seduce him, yet he hadn’t so much as nced her way before throwing her out.
