The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 843

When Bianca walks through the front door of her house after dinner, she finds her parents and her older brother, Evans, huddled together in the living room. As she gets closer, she realizes they are deep in conversation about her.

“This guy sounds great. He's incredibly handsome and has a thriving career. He'd be perfect for our Bianca,” her mom says enthusiastically.

“This one's a solid option too,” her dad chimes in. “The youngest son of the Wright family. He's got a great sense of humor, treats his parents well, and is totally the caring type.”

“What about the eldest Lindley boy?” Evans adds. “Sure, he's seven or eight years older than Bianca, but he's mature, charming, and definitely knows how to take care of a woman.”

Bianca's ears perk up. The setup feels painfully familiar. Are they seriously trying to line up more blind dates for her?

“Mom, Dad, Evans... what exactly are you doing?” she asks, her voice laced with dread.

The three of them snap their heads toward her, their animated expressions instantly morphing into guilty, forced smiles.

Mr. Turner clears his throat, adopting a tone of exaggerated casualness. “Oh, you're back! How was dinner? Are you tired?”

Seeing her stubborn resistance, her mom's smile fades into a more serious line. “Make the call yourself? You've been making the call all this time, and look where it's gotten you—still single.”

“Exactly,” Evans says, dropping his teasing tone. “Look at the Wright guy. We met him at that party a while back, and he's genuinely a good person. I heard he's pretty interested in you, too. Why not just grab a coffee with him? Have a chat. If you don't vibe with him, you drop it. What's the harm?”

Looking at her family's expectant, stubborn faces, Bianca feels a swirl of complicated emotions. She knows they love her and truly want her to be happy. But she loves her freedom. She's a bird without a cage, and she isn't ready to clip her own wings for just anyone.
