The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 918:

“Tina, either back up your accusations or stop talking nonsense. When have I ever been alone with Gracie for an hour?” he said sharply.

A smug tone crept into Tina’s voice. “Don’t think you can fool me. My brother saw you bringing Gracie to your home last night after eight.” Since Ethan had rejected and embarrassed her, Tina had decided it was payback time—she’d drag him and Brenna down and ruin their reputations for good.

Ethan was furious. He grabbed the laptop from Jayceon and typed quickly, his mood souring by the second.

“What’s your point? Just because Gracie and I walked into the same house, you think something happened between us? Unlike you, I don’t strip down and throw myself at someone to seduce them without shame.”

Ethan, despite being a CEO, was actually great at arguing with people. Growing up, whenever Elsa handed down punishments, Ethan always managed to twist the conversation in his favor, finding every loophole and clever excuse. Those days had sharpened his debating skills into a formidable weapon.

“Surprising, isn’t it, Miss Russell? You seem to have endless curiosity about my personal life. Surely you have better things to do than stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. What I do with Gracie is none of your business.” Ethan realized he was now arguing with Tina over the phone. This wasn’t like him.

But Tina’s words had been harsh, and they made him angry. He was determined to make her pay.

Though he wasn’t a top hacker in the world, he had enough skill to worm his way into the auction company’s network. Displaying whatever content he pleased on their big screen was easy for him. He forwarded a video from his mobile to Jayceon’s computer, then arranged for it to take over the auction hall’s electronic screen.

“Strictly speaking, Miss Russell, I owe you no explanations,” he said. “Still, I’d hate for my girlfriend to get the wrong idea. I only stopped by Gracie’s place last night for five minutes, with servants present the entire time. Even if I wanted something to happen between Gracie and me, there was hardly any opportunity.”

A playful note crept into his voice. “I know everyone is itching for a scandal. I don’t want to disappoint you. Keep your eyes on the screen; I’ve prepared a little show for you all!”

Brenna had already put the call on speakerphone, and those around her heard Ethan’s words clearly. Everyone instinctively turned to the big screen.

The footage on the screen began with an empty hotel hallway—still and unremarkable. Suddenly, a woman, completely unclothed, was tossed out of a room, stumbling right into the camera’s view.

Her smooth skin was on full display, and her naked body left nothing to the imagination. Anger was written all over her face as she shouted something at the closed door. The lack of audio left the crowd guessing at her words.

Still, everyone quickly recognized the woman—Tina.

An eruption of noise followed. “Wow!” some men exclaimed. Tina’s figure was striking, capturing a lot of attention.
