The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 932

Jovani knows far too many of Gregory's filthy secrets for him to simply discard her. If he tries to cut her loose, she will burn them both to the ground.

Meanwhile, inside the Sinclair estate, the atmosphere is incredibly volatile.

"Julianna, you have some nerve! How dare you impersonate the real Julia?" Zoey glares in absolute disbelief at the woman she has doted on for years. Her beloved niece is nothing but a fraud. This shocking deception rivals the chaos Jade unleashed upon the Dennis family. It is utterly absurd.

If Tara hadn't warned her, prompting her to rethink all the bizarre little inconsistencies, she might never have uncovered the horrifying truth. Relying on her private connections, Zoey secretly launched an investigation and searched her late brother's old villa. That was where she found the real Julia Sinclair. The poor girl had been locked away in a hidden, sunless basement for years, enduring unimaginable torment. Every time Zoey thinks about it, tears well up in her eyes. Thank God she used to be so close to her brother Garrett's family, visiting their home often enough to piece together the clues that led to the secret room.

She remembers noticing the unusually loose soil under the old locust tree in the villa's backyard, though she had foolishly dismissed it as the gardener's work. Then there was the landscape painting in her brother's study; while dusting it once, the frame had felt strange to the touch, but she chalked it up to natural wear and tear. More damning were the behavioral signs she had ignored. The real Julia was terrified of the dark and always slept with a nightlight. Yet, this impostor, Julianna, frequently spent hours sitting alone in pitch-black rooms. The real Julia was severely allergic to dairy, breaking out in violent sickness at the mere taste of it. But Julianna regularly indulged in milk, bird's nest soup, and rich cheese pastries. Whenever questioned, the impostor casually claimed she outgrew the allergy.

Those seemingly insignificant quirks now form an ironclad chain of evidence. The niece Zoey showered with love was a parasite who stole another's life, while her actual flesh and blood suffered in a pitch-black cell. The realization shatters Zoey's heart, and the Sinclair matriarch, Lindsay, fares no better. Upon learning the truth and seeing her real granddaughter—so frail, pale, and emaciated from years without sunlight—Lindsay completely broke down, collapsing in a fit of agonizing sobs.

"My god, you're a fake! You actually dared to steal my cousin's identity! How could you do this?" Bonnie screams, equally devastated and outraged.

She had already struggled to accept the vicious true nature she glimpsed in Julianna recently, desperately trying to mentally justify her "sister's" actions. She had been brainstorming ways to clear Julianna's name, convincing herself that she wasn't a terrible person. But before she could even formulate an excuse, her aunt exposed the ultimate betrayal. The sky is practically falling! Seeing the real Julia, and hearing the harrowing things the poor girl endured, finally forces Bonnie to face reality. The vile impostor manipulated and played her for an absolute fool.
