The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 225

Miriam looked like she was about to pass out on the spot.

She figured someone like Gemma only needed a light reprimand.

Juno suddenly let go.

Momentum sent Gemma face-planting into the floor. She scrambled up at lightning speed, forcing the words out through gritted teeth. "The Corrington family in Kingsland, right?! That's where you get your nerve! Let's see how tough you act when they go bankrupt!"

Juno shrugged nonchalantly. "Be my guest."

With a cold scoff, Gemma stood up with Miriam's help and hobbled away.

What was so great about the Corringtons anyway?!

She was going to tell her brother to ruin them!

The maid by the door finally got a good look at this 'country bumpkin' everyone was whispering about.

Her hesitant, probing gaze caught Juno's attention.

Juno crooked a finger, her expression blank. "Come here."

The maid hurried over nervously. "Is there something you need, Ms. Mercer?"

"Is she really a Yates?" she asked.

The maid lowered her head. "Yes."

Then, she looked up in confusion. "Why do you ask?"

"She doesn't act like one. She's crude, vulgar, and completely brainless."

Like an absolute savage.

How long would someone like that survive without Lorcan's protection?

Understanding dawned on the maid. "Ah... Ms. Gemma was maliciously kidnapped and abandoned right after birth. She was only brought back to the family a couple of years ago."

No wonder she acted like a complete idiot.

Having answered the question, the maid quietly excused herself.

Three days later, the salon commenced right on schedule.

The attendees were nothing short of royalty in their respective fields.

Belinda Russell arrived dressed to the nines, her waist cinched tight, her sapphire blue eyes strikingly beautiful.

Juno stood by the bed, looking at Kian Zimmer's grave expression.

"No good. I can't guarantee what age his memory will revert to when he wakes up."

It was too unpredictable.

"Maybe we should keep an eye on him? If he goes out there, who knows how the family will target him."

Miles, listening from the side, cast Kian a dark look. "No matter how old Sir thinks he is, his intellect remains fully intact."

Juno said calmly, "We'll deal with it as it comes."

The guests were dressed in exquisite attire, every single one of them exuding brilliance and success.

The attendees were globally renowned figures from all walks of life.

As more guests filtered in, a sudden gasp rippled through the crowd. Following their line of sight, everyone turned to look.

Morgan and Tristan Todd led the way, followed closely by Lucia.

Behind them trailed the powerhouses of the Obsidian Court. Kian Zimmer, Evelyn Reed, Amanda, and others...

Lucia's appearance sent a wave of whispers through the crowd.

"It's Lucia Corbett from the Obsidian Court."

"Which one?"

"The shortest one. But don't let her height fool you—she practically runs the underworld."

She had the stature of a child, but the ruthless temper of a queen.

"The people behind her are the absolute best in their fields. Award-winning actresses, top-tier designers, painters, pianists, legal sharks, business prodigies—you name it."

"All these brilliant minds... they all belong to the Obsidian Court."

An immensely terrifying syndicate.

No wonder they could stand toe-to-toe with the Yates family.

Morgan and the others spotted Juno immediately, giving her a subtle, respectful nod.
