The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 494

"Position doesn't matter. You're both in the same building," Catherine dismisses with a wave of her hand. "You are far too modest, Julianna. Rest assured, I am fully supporting your relationship with Danny. These vulgar tabloids linking him to D-list actresses mean absolutely nothing. They are just cheap entertainment. And trust me, Katie will be just as fiercely opposed to that girl Tara as I am."

Catherine firmly believes that Tara is just another opportunistic celebrity trying to claw her way into a billionaire's bed—a pathetic trope as old as time. There is no way her family will ever allow it.

"Thank you. I trust your judgment completely," Julianna replies softly. She maintains perfect emotional control, her voice calm and compliant. She embodies everything high society demands of a matriarch: stunning, highly educated, elegantly composed, and backed by a formidable family empire. She is the flawless picture of aristocratic perfection.

Catherine checks her diamond-encrusted watch, her face souring. "I ordered that ungrateful grandson of mine to come home over two hours ago. He hasn't shown up, and he hasn't even bothered to return my calls. Unbelievable!"

She knows Danny is deliberately stonewalling her to prove a point about the engagement. But as far as she is concerned, his public stunt changes nothing. Until she and the Sinclair family formally agree to dissolve the contract, the engagement stands. She makes a mental note to summon Katie back to the estate. It's high time his mother stepped in to discipline him.
