The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 486

It is obvious the photo was taken secretly. In the image, Deanna’s deeply trusted husband has his arm wrapped around another woman. They look incredibly intimate.

Deanna feels her entire world collapse in an instant. The phone nearly slips from her trembling fingers. Her breathing turns erratic, and her chest tightens as if an invisible hand is crushing her heart. The gentle, considerate man she knows as her husband is pressing himself against a stranger. The sheer contrast is impossible to stomach.

Who is she? How long have they been together?

The woman looks vaguely familiar, yet Deanna can't place her. Charles has always been praised as a family man, completely free of scandals. He treats her so well that she never once suspected him of having an affair. Has she been kept in the dark this whole time?

"Could this be someone jealous, trying to drive a wedge between us?" Deanna whispers to herself. She simply cannot believe her perfect husband would do such a thing.

Her phone vibrates again. A new message lights up the screen.

[If you don't believe me, Mrs. Dennis, why don't you pay a surprise visit to this suburban villa?]

Driven by desperate urgency, Deanna sneaks out to the provided address. She needs to know if the woman living there is her husband's mistress. This upscale neighborhood is notoriously known as the playground where wealthy elites stash their secret lovers. Most society wives turn a blind eye, knowing that making a fuss only leads to ruin.

Deanna has too much pride to cause a scene; she merely wants a surprise inspection to confirm her suspicions. Regardless of what she finds, she refuses to throw a public tantrum.

Gathering her courage, she steps up to the front door. She takes a deep, steadying breath and rings the doorbell. While she waits, her heart hammers against her ribs. On the outside, she looks perfectly composed, but her palms are already slick with cold sweat.
