The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 474

"I am canceling it, whether you agree or not," Danny says, his voice cold and resolute.

Unlike Evan, Danny doesn't fear anyone—not even his grandmother. If he doesn't want a woman, and he doesn't want a marriage, God himself couldn't force him to walk down the aisle.

"Danny!" Catherine gasps, her vision swimming with fury.

"Danny, what are you doing?" a sharp voice interrupts. Garrison strides into the room, eager to jump into the fray. "You barely visit all year, and the second you walk through the door, you try to put your grandmother in the grave?"

Ever since his older brother mysteriously disappeared and was presumed dead, Garrison believed it was finally his time to rule the family. Instead, he found himself entirely overshadowed and dominated by his nephew. His resentment has been festering for years.

Danny doesn't even glance his way. "This doesn't concern you. Mind your own business."

"Is that how you speak to your uncle?" Garrison snaps. This arrogant brat is just like his father—relying on his high IQ and raw talent to act like he owns the world. Without the backing of the Calhoun empire, Danny would be nothing!

"Enough, Garrison," Catherine intervenes, instinctively protecting her favorite grandson. "Danny is already in a foul mood. Don't antagonize him."

She slams her hand against the armrest. "No. That won’t do. I absolutely forbid it!"

Her voice hardens into steel. "The Calhoun family has centuries of pristine legacy. We cannot associate with a mess like the Dennis family. Their internal politics are a disaster, and they're constantly neck-deep in trouble. If you tie yourself to them, our entire family will suffer the consequences."

"Exactly," Garrison chimes in, fueling the fire. "Danny, you are usually so brilliant. Why are you being so blind about this? The Sinclair family is flawless. Julianna is elegant, intelligent, and comes from a clean, prestigious background. She is your only equal."

"Garrison is right," Catherine declares. "Julianna is the only woman fit to be my granddaughter-in-law."
