The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 602

The engagement had been a casual agreement forged over a pleasant dinner with Catherine. No formal rings were exchanged, and no public announcements were made. Surely, Julianna couldn't be too heartbroken over it.

Hearing her grandmother's casual dismissal, a flash of resentment spikes in Julianna’s chest. She orchestrates the engagement without asking, and now she brushes off its ruin like it's nothing, she thinks bitterly. Does she think I’m just a pawn?

Despite her anger, Julianna remains a master of her emotions. Her voice is soft and entirely composed. "It’s alright, Grandma. If Danny doesn’t have feelings for me, I won't force it."

Lindsay looks visibly relieved. "See?" she says, turning back to Bonnie. "Your sister doesn't even mind. Why are you making such a fuss over something that doesn't concern you?"

"Because she never complains!" Bonnie argues stubbornly. "She says it’s fine, but she’s obviously hurting! Even without this engagement mess, I just hate Tara. I refuse to see her in out house!"
