The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 821

Jade's pitiful act as she timidly calls out "Grandma" is perfectly executed. It isn't overly dramatic, yet it tugs at the heartstrings. Even Tara, who is watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, almost wants to give her a round of applause.

"Who gave you the right to just call her Grandma and call my dad your father? You have no right!" Bonnie is straightforward and fiery. Her temper flares easily, and she doesn't bother with subtle mind games. Now, she is so agitated she looks like she might cry.

"Enough, what's all this shouting about? Bonnie, reign in your temper. You are a daughter of the Sinclair family, after all," Lindsay snaps, thoroughly annoyed by the noise. "Always so erratic and speaking without thinking. It's going to cost you sooner or later!"

"Grandma, how can you say that about me?" Bonnie argues, feeling wronged.

"I'm your grandmother. Can't I scold you?"

"I..." Bonnie feels a lump in her throat. She feels that not only does her grandmother favor Tara, but now she is leaning toward favoring this bastard child too. It makes her deeply anxious and uncomfortable. If she had known this absurd drama would happen to her, she would much rather have her grandmother favor Tara than this disgusting interloper. In the past, when Jade was a foster daughter in the Dennis family and Tara cut ties because of it, Bonnie thought Tara was just being petty. Now that this exact nightmare is happening to her, she suddenly understands Tara's feelings completely. She can completely empathize.

"Even if you are Gregory's daughter, a child of the Sinclair family..." Lindsay's tone turns ice-cold. "That doesn't mean you can just move into Sinclair Manor. Our family doesn't need relatives with such murky backgrounds. We've never lived together, and we have no emotional bond. Since this is Gregory's mistake, he can quietly compensate you and your mother himself."

Lindsay knows that even if she doesn't welcome them into the manor, her son will definitely make sure they are well taken care of. With a woman as scheming as Jovani, they have undoubtedly extracted plenty of benefits and compensation already. Having navigated the treacherous waters of high society for most of her life, Lindsay has seen every kind of deception. Jade's little mind games can't fool her for a second.

"Grandma, you..." This time, it is Jade's turn to be utterly stunned.
