The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 798

At the time, Bianca's eyes had lit up with excitement.

She thought maybe Coen was just playing hard to get. Maybe he felt too awkward to agree in person, but secretly made a burner account to play with her? It sounded exactly like something that arrogant man would do. When she first asked for his number, he claimed he didn't use messaging apps, yet she eventually forced him to add her anyway.

Convinced she had caught him in the act, she left her game running and sneakily marched back to the hot springs to catch him red-handed.

Instead, she found him sitting deadpan in the bubbling water, intensely focused on his phone screen—reading live financial updates.

Unbelievable!

"You are a hopeless block of wood, Coen!" she had yelled at him before storming off.

Halfway down the path, she glanced back, secretly hoping he looked guilty or at least annoyed. Nope. He was still staring at his phone, but this time, he was smirking.

It nearly sent her to an early grave!

What kind of frustrating man is he? Bianca refuses to believe there is a man on earth immune to her charm. She practically threw herself at him, and he didn't even flinch.

Is he... defective?

"Tara, honestly... do you think Coen is gay? Or maybe he's just... impotent?" Bianca asks, her straightforward nature getting the better of her.

Tara freezes.

How is she supposed to answer that?

He backs her up against the wall, leaning in with a fierce glare. "I am perfectly straight, and everything works exactly as it should. Stop spreading ridiculous rumors about me."

"I mean... you didn't have to drag me to a dark corner just to clarify that. I believe you're fully capable," Bianca replies, her previously crushed ego instantly reviving. Her eyes sparkle as she looks up at him with a flirtatious grin.

"You're being so intense about this... does that mean you want to make sure I don't get the wrong idea?" she purrs, boldly wrapping her hands around his arm. "I believe you, but if you want to prove it, we could always test that theory tonight."

Coen yanks his arm away instantly. "Stop flirting. It's annoying."

He turns to leave, but before he walks away, he reaches out and aggressively ruffles her perfectly styled hair, turning it into an absolute bird's nest. Having exacted his petty revenge, he walks off.

He originally came over to enjoy a hot coffee, but after hearing her absolutely unhinged comments, he refuses to sit anywhere near them. He finds a seat by the window, as far away as possible.
