The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 219

The day of Jade's birthday gala finally arrives. Ever since the modeling competition, she feels like her luck is on an unstoppable upward trajectory. Both her acting career and her family dynamics are smoother than ever. Hosting a party of this magnitude fuels her vanity to unprecedented heights.

First thing in the morning, she posts a birthday update on social media, instantly flooded with adoration from her hardcore fans. Several devoted followers even mail her gifts. Glancing at the cheap, unbranded trinkets, she scoffs and tosses them to the company's cleaning staff and security guards as if offering charity. Yet online, she paints a masterpiece of humility, posting a lengthy, heartfelt thank-you note claiming she will cherish their gifts forever. This down-to-earth, sweet persona has her fanbase weeping with loyalty.

Riding the wave of viral traffic, she seamlessly plugs her upcoming movie, raking in public congratulations from a slew of A-list celebrities. For the moment, Jade is the undisputed center of the universe.

Tonight's extravaganza is hosted on a luxury cruise ship owned by the Dennis family—a venue infinitely more prestigious than a standard upscale hotel. The ship is a visual marvel, draped in cascading ribbons and bathed in vibrant, pulsing lights, while an elegant orchestral arrangement drifts over the ocean breeze.

Jade is the undeniable star of the evening. She is draped in a breathtaking, six-figure custom gown from The Bloom Atelier, bankrolled entirely by Deanna. Drifting through the crowd like royalty, she clinks glasses with top-tier models and industry heavyweights, her laughter ringing out like crystal.

Standing on the upper deck, soaking in the endless stream of flattery, Jade swells with triumph.

"Jade, you look absolutely stunning tonight. Is that a new piece from The Bloom Atelier? I heard it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Your mom spoils you so much!" a socialite gushes.
