The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 556

"He's just casting a wide net. You don't actually think you're some hot commodity, do you?" Bonnie, always straightforward and sharp-tongued, doesn't hesitate to voice her disdain.

What she doesn't realize is that her words make Julianna's expression darken. If Landon is casting a wide net, it implies Tara is his first choice for a dance partner, and Julianna is merely a backup option. Julianna feels a surge of discomfort. Bonnie really should just keep her mouth shut instead of humiliating her in public.

But the person who feels even more uncomfortable is Jade. Her previous smugness vanishes, leaving her pale with embarrassment and frustration. It stings even more when she notices Tara standing nearby. Tara has clearly heard Bonnie's remark and wears a meaningful smile that feels like a physical blow to Jade.

"Ahem, Miss Bonnie, you're going to cause a misunderstanding," Landon stammers, losing his cool. Why is this woman so relentless? Now she is dragging him into her mess, giving him a massive headache. "I just wanted to find a dance partner. I didn't mean anything else."

"Exactly, it’s nothing like what you said," Jade seethes, practically biting her tongue in anger. Landon's earlier behavior clearly meant something else, yet now he is rushing to distance himself. What a total jerk!

Unable to stand the humiliation any longer, Jade grabs the hem of her dress and storms off. She originally wants to find her mother to complain and get her to put that bitch Bonnie in her place, but Jovani is nowhere to be found. Left with no other option, she decides to seek out her brother, Nikolai. Right now, he is the only one who will welcome her with open arms and offer her the comfort she desperately needs.

Watching her run off in tears, Bonnie rolls her eyes. She despises women who play the victim and put on a pathetic act. That is exactly why she couldn't resist tearing her down. "How boring. I thought Jade had some actual backbone, but she's just a weeping, pathetic mess," Bonnie mutters with a look of utter disgust.
