?Chapter 837:


    What was worse—he had thrown her out while she was still naked. So humiliating.


    The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.


    The following morning, Rosie saw Tina’s message and wasted no time arranging a meeting with her.


    Rosie, Tina, and Isabe gathered at a quiet, stylish café, each one sipping a cup of coffee.


    “I went out of my way to make sure everything was perfect for you, and you still managed to mess it up?” Rosie fixed Tina with a look of disbelief. “I honestly thought you were smart. Wasn’t the n simple enough?”


    Isabe absentmindedly stirred her coffee, itching for a chance to ridicule Tina. She found it almost unbelievable—Tina,ing from such a well-known family, had ended up tossed out naked.


    Tina caught the smug grin on Isabe’s lips, and her temper red. “Isabe, what’s so funny? Why are you smiling? You’ve done a lot of humiliating things yourself. You don’t get tough at me.” No one had ever dared to openly mock her like this.


    Anger made her words sharper. “Who do you think you are anyway?”


    Even though Isabe owed her current status to the man in her life, Denis was powerful. Lately, he held a lot of sway in Shirie. Even though she wasn’t married to him, people in the upper circles still treated her with respect.


    In her mind, she was already Denis’ wife, belonging to one of the city’s most powerful families. Tina’s insult stung her pride.


    “What’s so wrong with meughing at you? Didn’t you bring this embarrassment on yourself?” Isabe said.


    Tina’s hands tightened around her coffee cup; she was itching to hurl it at Isabe.


    Before things could escte, Rosie stepped in, her tone sharp. “That’s enough, both of you.”

    Rosie couldn’t help but think both women had their ws, and neither impressed her much in the brains department. Still, she had to admit Isabe had a bit more sense than Tina. At the very least, Isabe knew how to hold Denis’ attention, and he had already poured a fair amount of money and time into her. On top of that, Isabe actually found ways to help Denis.


    Tina, byparison, was just a pampered socialite, far removed from the Russell family’s business dealings. All she had was her yearly allowance and a pretty face.


    Initially, Tina had simply thought Ethan was a great catch and a good marriage prospect, but she had not nned on marrying him. It was Rosie who had encouraged her to pursue marriage with Ethan.


    “There’s always another chance,” Rosie said, not giving up. Brenna had stolen Ethan from her, and Rosie had no intention of letting Brenna and Ethan be happy together. If she couldn’t have Ethan, then she wouldn’t let Brenna have him, either.
