The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 698

Jovani had initially assumed that exposing her long-standing affair with Charles would merely send Deanna into a depressive spiral for a few weeks. To have the universe reward her with Deanna's permanent paralysis is a gift she refuses to waste.

She fully intends to relish the sight of her rival's ruined life. And while she's at it, she plans to drop a few more devastating secrets, just to ensure Deanna's spirit shatters entirely.

Jade watches her mother with rapt attention. Far from being horrified by the twisted, psychopathic glint in Jovani's eyes, Jade feels nothing but absolute admiration. She craves that exact level of ruthless control.

With a mother this brilliant pulling the strings, Jade knows she has nothing to worry about. She just needs to sit back and wait. Soon, she will be the undisputed princess of the Dennis family, inheriting everything she deserves.

Jovani is well aware that Charles is currently drowning in chaos. Between managing the resulting fallout at the Dennis Group and dealing with two critically ill family members, he is stretched to his breaking point. Playing the perfect, understanding mistress, Jovani hasn't bothered him, nor has she demanded any updates.

She waits patiently until she confirms Deanna has stabilized just enough to be conscious and aware, though still confined to her hospital bed.

When the time is right, Jovani meticulously prepares for her visit. She applies a bold, stunning face of makeup and slips into a breathtaking designer dress that hugs her curves flawlessly. For the finishing touch, she clasps on the dazzling diamond necklace Charles recently gifted her. Grabbing her limited-edition handbag, she practically floats to the hospital.

She times her arrival perfectly, slipping into the VIP ward when she knows Charles and the boys are occupied with the doctors.

Since Deanna is the matriarch of a powerful dynasty, her VIP suite is heavily guarded by top-tier private nurses and caregivers. But everyone has a price. Jovani easily bribes a head nurse to dismiss the staff for a brief break, granting her unhindered access.

Jovani pushes the door open and steps inside.

The room is deathly quiet. Deanna is propped up against the pillows, staring blankly out the window. At the sound of the door, she turns her head.
