The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 899

Jade genuinely believes her fragile-flower routine will make these men worship and protect her, just like the Dennis brothers once did. But the real world is vicious, and her luck ran out a long time ago.

Seeing how quickly she agrees to leave with a group of strangers, the men exchange sneers of utter contempt. They initially planned to act smooth, but seeing her behave so recklessly, they assume she is an easy, experienced target. Dropping the nice-guy act, they haul her straight into a cheap motel room.

The next morning.

Jade wakes up with a blinding, skull-crushing hangover. Her memory is fragmented, but as she stares at the unfamiliar ceiling, the horrifying realization of the men dragging her into the hotel crashes over her. They didn't take her home. They took her here, and they...

As she registers the intense physical soreness wracking her body, the sickening truth of what happened the night before sinks in. All the blood drains from her face, leaving her ghost-white. She might be a manipulative sociopath, but she always valued her physical exclusivity, only ever engaging with high-status men. The horrifying thought that multiple random strangers had taken her completely breaks her sanity. She feels like she might vomit and pass out simultaneously.

"It's fine. Nobody knows. I just have to pretend it never happened," she mutters frantically, trying to steady her shaking hands as she scrambles out of bed and throws on her clothes.

Just as she pulls her jacket on to flee the room, her phone rings. It is Lana, Evan's mother.

Jade's heart seizes. With trembling fingers, she answers the call, the sound of her own terrified heartbeat echoing in the silent room. "Hello, Mrs. Jewell..." she forces out, trying to sound composed, but the quiver in her voice gives her away.
