The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 446

Nikolai sighs inwardly, wondering why other people's sisters are so incredible. If only his biological sister could be this outstanding, well-behaved, and attentive to her family. The thought fills him with a deep sense of melancholy. He and Tara used to be so close, and she was exceptional in every way. How did things end up like this?

Nearby, Loretta sneaks a few glances at Julianna. There is something about Miss Sinclair's aura that feels strikingly similar to Tara's—a cool, powerful, leading-lady energy. It feels incredibly familiar.

Tara, who remains quiet, naturally takes notice of Julianna as well. She doesn't know the woman personally, but she has heard of her. In the highly classified, elite ranks of the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, Julianna's name has come up. She certainly has some talent and is considered a promising prospect. However, in a place as prestigious as the Institute, someone like Julianna isn't quite at the very top. Since Tara usually only deals with the absolute best in the field, they never crossed paths.

But just moments ago, Tara caught a tiny detail. When Danny looked at Julianna, his brow furrowed slightly. And right before speaking with the production crew, Julianna had shot him a quick glance. They are minor, easily missed interactions, but Tara catches them. "Do these two know each other?" she wonders.

Once everything is settled, the host has Julianna hand over her personal phone and issues her a standard device for the show. She accepts it without complaint.

Meanwhile, the live chat is boiling over.

"Who is this Julianna? I've never seen her before."

"Look at Jade acting up again, trying to drive a wedge in Tara's group and inviting people without asking. So shameless!"

"The Sinclairs are a top-tier dynasty, just like the Dennis Family. Take that, you smug Dennis siblings!"

"Julianna's vibe matches darling Tara so well. Rich, beautiful, and capable. I hope they become best friends."

Although the search results only show basic, unverified public profiles rather than deep insights into her character, the audience is hooked. Fans of Tara and Loretta are especially eager to know more, hoping Julianna is a woman of good character. They want their favorite idols to surround themselves with genuine, capable, and beautiful friends.
