The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 631

"Catherine and I were too impulsive back then, setting up this engagement without thinking it through," Lindsay says smoothly. "Since it's officially canceled, let's leave it in the past. I'm sure they'll both find their own happiness eventually."

Lindsay realizes that Danny is far too stubborn to be forced into a marriage he resents. If the Calhoun family can't even rein him in, the Sinclairs certainly don't stand a chance. Rather than embarrass themselves by pushing a doomed agenda, it's better to gracefully back down. She is fully confident that a girl as outstanding as Julianna will find an even better, perfectly matched suitor.

Besides, taking Tara as a god-granddaughter is a massive victory in itself. If Tara ends up with the Calhoun heir, Lindsay gets to bask in the glow of their success and secure an invaluable connection.

"Grandma, no!" Bonnie erupts, refusing to let it go. "I refuse to have anything to do with this woman！"

The thought of this infuriating outsider becoming so close to her makes her blood boil. She only needs Julianna; no one else can even compare.

"Bonnie, reign it in," Zoey snaps. She has a notoriously fiery temper and flat-out refuses to indulge her niece's bratty behavior like the rest of the family does. "If you keep acting like a spoiled child and completely disregard everyone else's feelings, you can get the hell out of this house!"

Bonnie flinches, her neck shrinking into her shoulders, though she continues to pout resentfully. She thinks it's ridiculous for her aunt—a woman who already got married—to throw her weight around. But remembering the sheer power of Zoey's husband and his sprawling corporate and underworld connections, Bonnie bites her tongue. He isn't someone she can afford to cross.

Zoey reigns in her anger and turns to Tara with a warm, maternal smile. "I'm so sorry, Tara. You had to watch this family drama."
