The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 818

This is also one of the reasons why she has always been so pleasant to Bonnie all these years.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lindsay catches sight of Bonnie standing up for her sister, and chuckles inwardly at how young and impulsive she is. She shifts her gaze back to Tara, finding her more pleasing to the eye the longer she looks. Not only is her appearance flawlessly elegant, but her every look and gesture carry an air of intelligence and composure. Standing there, neither humble nor arrogant, she naturally commands a certain grace.

Jade, standing to the side, seems like nothing more than a green leaf meant to accentuate a flower, or even completely invisible. It is as if no one has even noticed she is there. Always used to being surrounded by admirers, she feels an intense pang of discomfort. Remembering that her purpose for coming here was not to play second fiddle, she cannot help but speak up to establish her presence.

"Grandma Lindsay, although I came as a guest with Bonnie this time, I have always heard people talk about you. I know that in your youth, you were a valiant and formidable businesswoman. I am truly so happy to have the opportunity to visit you today."

Hearing Jade's overly flattering words, Catherine smirks inwardly. She is still too young. High-society matriarchs like them have long grown tired of hearing such rigid and mechanical compliments.

Clearly, Lindsay feels the same way. Not only does she have no desire to listen, but she is even more repulsed that such drivel is coming from this particular woman's mouth. She already disliked the fact that Bonnie brought her home, and now her desperate attempt for attention only makes the older woman despise her more. Especially considering this woman's identity...
