The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 792

Their father already made it explicitly clear that this woman shares no blood with them, meaning she has no inherent right to their family name. The only reason she uses the surname Dennis is that they generously took her in. Now that she is completely alienated from them, she needs to drop the name entirely.

"You're hilarious. Do you actually think your family is the only one in the world with the last name Dennis? What proof do you have that I'm using yours?" Jade scoffs.

Deep down, she knows she is grasping at straws, but she refuses to admit defeat. There are thousands of people with that last name in the country; they can't legally force her to change it.

"He has a point," Alec chimes in smoothly. "Maybe it isn't our name after all. Who knows whose illegitimate mistake she really is?"

That strikes a raw nerve. Jade's eyes flash with indignation. These two bastards tag-teaming her are clearly mocking her status as an unacknowledged child. Thank God she belongs to the Sinclair family—a prestigious, highly educated dynasty that outranks the Dennis family in every conceivable way.

The thought soothes her bruised ego. She offers a condescending little laugh, her chin tilting up in arrogance. "I'm certainly not the spawn of some random street trash. My biological father comes from a century-old aristocratic bloodline. The kind of wealth and prestige you could only dream of. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. You'll find out exactly which heiress I am soon enough."

Nikolai lets out a harsh, barking laugh. Still furious over her insults toward Tara, he shows zero mercy. "So what if it's a century-old dynasty? You could be the daughter of royalty, and you'd still be an illegitimate mistake. You'll never be accepted in high society."

In elite circles, reputation and lineage mean everything. A prestigious family isn't going to roll out the red carpet for a scandalous love child. Sure, some old-money families desperate for heirs might quietly bring an illegitimate child into the fold, but they are never given true respect.
