The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 673

However, Alec can't find an opening to approach them. The glittering crowd surrounding the happy couple pays him no mind, and his ego prevents him from shamelessly pushing his way into the spotlight. Especially when he spots Jade turning away in silent misery. He quickly follows her out.

When Alec slides into the car, he finds Jade covering her face, sobbing softly. Her shoulders shake with delicate, heart-wrenching tremors.

"Jade, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Alec asks. His initial frustration over her dragging him into the bidding war melts into a puddle of sympathy.

"It's nothing," Jade sniffles, wiping her tears and feigning a brave smile. "I'm just so happy that Tara found her happily ever after. But it made me think about my own life. When I realize that Evan doesn't truly care about me... I feel so scared and insecure. I just don't feel safe."

She forces a trembling breath. "I'll be fine, Alec. I just need a minute."

"How can you say that?" Alec insists, his protective instincts flaring. "If that bastard Evan ever dares to treat you poorly, the entire Dennis family will tear him apart!"

"I know you're always here for me, Alec. But what good is punishing him? It doesn't change the fact that I feel completely unmoored. I don't share the Dennis bloodline. If you, Jake, Nikolai, or Mom and Dad ever get tired of me, I'll have absolutely nothing left."
