Chapter 816:
Sliding a glass of red wine across the table, Percy flashed a grin. “You can say no to a woman, but turning down
fine wine? That would be a crime.”
Without waiting for a response, he accepted a folder his assistant handed over and pushed it toward Ethan. “My
current inventory is all in here. Whatever you need, | can source it. In Eshowana, there's nothing | can’t get
done.”
Ethan took the document without a word, his expression unreadable as he reviewed it. It was indeed a very
tempting deal.
Leaning back with a smug tilt of his head, Percy continued, “This deal is a win-win for us.”
With a slow nod, Ethan finally spoke. “We'll still need to discuss the pricing.”
Immediately, Percy’s easygoing tone shifted. A slight frown creased his forehead. “This is already the lowest
price. Honestly, if my previous business partner hadn't suddenly died, | wouldn't even be looking to partner with
you. The price is non-negotiable.”
Inside a stylish, softly lit coffee shop, Isabella carefully placed her phone on the table and nudged it toward the
woman across from her. A self-satisfied smirk tugged at her lips as her gaze lingered on the photo on the screen.
Seated beside her, Tina leaned over for a look, and her expression immediately soured. Displayed on the phone
was a photo of Ethan with two provocatively dressed women clinging to him in a dimly lit lounge.
“This edited photo is way too much,” she muttered, her lips tightening. “I don’t want my future husband dragged

Unbothered by Tina's disapproval, Isabella simply shrugged. “It’s the only way to completely tank Ethan’s image.
Once that happens, Brenna will leave him. Otherwise, they won't break up. Do you still want to marry Ethan or
not?”
The question made Tina falter. Her brows knitted together, concern shadowing her eyes. “Of course, | still want
to marry him,” she said, “But not through something this low. Smearing his njust feels wrong.”
A short, derisive laugh slipped from Isabella’s lips. “Feeling protective of him already? Let’s not get ahead of
ourselves, Tina. For all you know, Ethan won't even look your way now. You think he’ll care whether you want to
protect his image or not?”
Heat surged in Tina's eyes as she shot a glare at Isabella. “Spareyour sarcasm. Maybe you should spend
more tfocusing on Denis. How many women has he been with now? You really think you're the one he’ll
settle down with?”

Isabella was well aware of Denis’ numerous affairs. She knew he had bought houses and cars for other women,
but she didn’t care. Among all of Denis’ women, Isabella considered herself the most useful to him. She believed
she had a real chance of becoming his wife someday. When that day came, she planned to deal with the other
women one by one.
