The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 424

Julianna is stunning. She possesses a radiant, luminous complexion that glows with effortless aristocratic grace, her striking features carrying the poised elegance of a true high-society heiress. Every movement she makes is calculated perfection. It is glaringly obvious she was raised in a premier family, molded by strict etiquette, adorned in the finest jewels, and educated by top-tier private tutors since birth. She is a masterpiece of generational wealth.

A sharp pang of jealousy pierces Jade's chest. Standing next to a true-blooded aristocrat, Jade feels painfully like the adopted outsider she is. Julianna carries an air of absolute supremacy, as if everyone else in the room is entirely beneath her. The sheer arrogance of it makes Jade's skin crawl.

Putting on her best facade, Jade slides gracefully into an empty seat and flashes a warm smile. "You must be Miss Sinclair. My brothers have mentioned you before. They always said you were incredibly talented and beautiful, but seeing your flawless technique in person is truly something else."

Jade has always known how to play the game. Her sweet, sycophantic praise is exactly how she manipulated the Dennis family into loving her. But behind her charming smile, she is practically seething.

"Who are you? I don't think we've met," a girl sitting next to Julianna snaps, clearly acting as Julianna 's attack dog.

"I'm Jade, from the Dennis family. I believe we crossed paths at the country club's tasting event last year," Jade replies softly, keeping her posture perfectly straight so as not to lose an ounce of ground.

The girl's eyes flash with immediate disdain. "Oh. The adopted one. Right, I remember now."
