The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 224

"That obnoxious little brat! Who does she think she is?" Lana seethes, thoroughly enraged. It seems she has no choice but to take a shortcut and resort to the dirty tactics Jade had suggested earlier.

While the event is technically Jade's birthday party, the presence of so many elite elders turns it into a high-stakes networking gala.

The guest list is packed with wealthy heiresses, financial moguls, and political elites. The entire venue hums with the energy of a corporate mixer, with everyone using the celebration as a flimsy excuse to strike deals and expand their social circles.

Jade doesn't mind the corporate atmosphere in the slightest; that is simply how high society operates. It still gives her the perfect stage to show off.

Right now, Jake and Alec have been pulled away by business associates for drinks. Before leaving, Jake specifically asked Jade to keep Lucinda company and introduce her to their friends, clearly treating Lucinda as an official member of the family. Jade enthusiastically agreed to his face, but the moment her brothers are out of sight, she immediately sidelines her so-called future sister-in-law. She intends to leave Lucinda standing awkwardly in the corner, but to her dismay, Lucinda is incredibly popular among the elite crowd.

"Lucinda, you look stunning. You just stand out from the crowd instantly," one socialite gushes.

"Congratulations on becoming the principal dancer for The Grand Metropolitan Dance Company! You completely deserve it."
