The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows

Chapter 1178:

Seeing this, Elsa felt for Gracie. Her matchmaking attempts had failed twice, and she realized Ethan was quite firm, not easily influenced by her.

On the way back, she received a phone call. “You see? Even though you had moved into Ethan’s place, he didn’t take an interest in you.”

In a private room at an exclusive club, Rosie sat opposite Gracie, who was visibly frustrated. Gracie had poured immense effort into winning over Ethan’s mother, only to learn that Ethan’s relationship with his mother was fraught with tension, their phone calls often dissolving into heated disputes.

The lack of appreciation fueled her frustration. Rosie’s presence only heightened her irritation. If Rosie hadn’t promised she could spark Ethan’s interest in her, Gracie would never have bothered with someone like her. In Gracie’s eyes, Rosie was deceitful and manipulative, and Ethan’s clear dislike for Rosie only deepened Gracie’s disdain for her.
