The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 767:

Ethan’s brow furrowed, irritated that he couldn’t even smoke in peace. These women were relentless. Didn’t they notice he had arrived with Brenna? He was already in a relationship! Yet, they seemed oblivious to that.

Brenna stayed completely engrossed in Dalton’s performance on the stage, oblivious to the fact that Tina was hovering near Ethan, trying to catch his attention.

Ethan got along well with Jayceon, but his ties to the rest of the Russell family were distant at best. He offered them nothing beyond polite recognition. When his eyes landed on Tina, they held nothing but frost, and his words cut sharper than his stare.

“I have nothing to say to you.”

Tina thought Ethan looked incredibly handsome standing by the window. He was the ideal man of her dreams.

He had the kind of physique that turned heads: wide shoulders tapering into a lean frame, his height lending him an air of authority. There was a quiet power in the way he carried himself, and his face was even more striking than Dalton’s. Just standing there, he could captivate an entire crowd.

Even the way he held a cigarette had its own kind of allure, and Tina found herself utterly spellbound. She kept staring at Ethan, too entranced to remember the heartfelt confession of love she had prepared.

Not wanting to even breathe the same air as her, Ethan crushed the cigarette beneath his shoe and turned on his heel without a second glance.

“I love you!” Tina blurted out, running after him and flinging her arms around his waist in a desperate embrace.

Ethan’s expression froze over. He peeled her hands off without hesitation and shoved her aside, sending her to the floor.

He caught sight of Rosie snapping photos with her phone. His scowl deepened. He marched over, grabbed the device from her hand, and shattered it against the floor.

“Ethan, I didn’t mean to…” Rosie tried to justify herself, but Ethan didn’t pause or turn back.

Rosie approached Tina, helping her stand up.

“I told you it wouldn’t work, but you just had to try it.”

Tina sighed, frustration creeping in.

“How would I know if I didn’t try? I even considered stripping in front of him, but I was too dazed to remember to do that.”

Her voice dropped with frustration.

“I was one move away from getting what I wanted. Why is Ethan so immune to women’s charms? Is my figure not good enough? He didn’t even spare me a glance.”noveldrama

She wore a strapless dress that accentuated every curve, but Ethan hadn’t looked her way, not even once.
