The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 282

Shortly after, Alec emerges from the room. To her horror, he simply follows in Jake's footsteps and leaves just as quickly. He doesn't look for her, nor does he even bother to call and comfort her.

Jade's heart plummets. A paralyzing fear she has never known grips her entirely. Out of the three brothers, Alec is the easiest to manipulate. He is the most gullible of the bunch. Now, even he doesn't care to check on her. Her imagination runs wild, and her chest tightens with absolute dread. She realizes that this time, things have truly spiraled out of control! This is no longer something she can fix with a few tears.

Completely frantic, Jade has no choice but to seek out her mother for help. She drives frantically to her mother's residence, desperate for her immediate intervention.

Jovani lives in a secluded villa complex in the suburbs. It isn't the most luxurious estate, but it offers the highest level of privacy. Many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen use this area to stash their mistresses and secret lovers. It is an unspoken rule in their elite circles. The legal wives usually turn a blind eye, too lazy to stir up drama as long as their own positions aren't threatened.

Deanna, of course, knows about this hidden community. But she trusts her husband unconditionally, so she never pays it any mind. Even though Charles is constantly busy and rarely home, he always acts like a doting, considerate husband whenever he is around Deanna. Because of this, Deanna feels completely secure in her marriage. She even subtly brags to her socialite friends about how wonderful her husband is. Charles always sends extravagant gifts on holidays, her birthdays, and their anniversaries. With her emotional needs met, Deanna never suspects a thing.
