The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 454

The photos capture the two of them huddled close together at dinner, with Evan gazing at Jade so intently it looks as if he is seconds away from kissing her. The heavy, musky tension is undeniable.

The internet absolutely detonates.

[Oh my god, aren't they siblings? What kind of brothers and sisters act like this?]

[I would never get this handsy with my own brother. Everyone knows you need boundaries!]

[They aren't blood relatives. She's adopted. Are they raising her to be a wife or something?]

[Even an arranged marriage only goes to one son! She's basically stringing along all three brothers! That is so gross!]

[Don't forget the heir to the Jewell family! This Jade girl really knows how to play the game. She's a total maneater!]

The narrative instantly shifts. This is no longer a petty celebrity rumor—it is a full-blown, high-society scandal. The affluent circles of Capital City immediately catch wind of the drama. Many of the wealthy socialites have always harbored a bitter jealousy toward Deanna for marrying a loyal husband and raising four successful children. Now that they finally have ammunition to tear her down, they absolutely refuse to waste it.

Deanna's phone practically catches fire. The group chats are flooded with passive-aggressive jabs from the society wives, quickly followed by incoming calls from her own relatives and Eleanor. Every single one of them blames her for utterly failing to raise her children with morals.

"Deanna, look at what your sons have become! Every single one of them has been corrupted by that adopted girl!"
