The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 858

He only kicked her out earlier to mess with her. He never actually intended to make her walk home alone. After driving a short distance away, he had dismissed the driver and circled back, planning to trail her in the car until she reached her door. But when he turned down her street, she was nowhere to be seen. Thankfully, he knew the neighborhood well enough to track her down quickly. If he had been even a minute later, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

He curses himself for being so childish. Dropping her off like that almost led to a disaster he would have regretted for the rest of his life.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Coen can still feel the ghost of her trembling arm beneath his grip. His heart feels as though it's being crushed in a vice, and a cold sweat of delayed terror dampens his shirt. He stares into the rearview mirror at the illuminated windows of the Turner mansion, his gaze turning icy and predatory.

They're making a move again. They tried to take her once, and they clearly haven't given up.

As Coen stews in his cold fury, a very different kind of rage is boiling over across town.

Jade, who has been forced into hiding ever since being thrown out of the Sinclair family estate, is on the verge of a total breakdown. She originally thought that losing the Dennis family's backing wouldn't matter as long as she secured her place within the towering Sinclair dynasty. But now, she is entirely cut off from both sides, leaving her drowning in despair.

"This is all your fault!" Jade screams at her mother. "If you hadn't shown your hand to Charles so early and exposed my identity, Deanna wouldn't despise me like this! Even if my status in the Dennis family was slipping, I still had them wrapped around my finger! I was still living the high life! But look at me now! I can't go back to the Dennis family, that old hag and Zoey Sinclair refuse to accept me, and that bitch Bonnie is doing everything she can to ruin my life! What am I supposed to do?!"
