The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 643

"Deanna, what is your skincare secret? You have to tell us! You have such a luminous complexion, we're all dying of jealousy!"

"Oh, she's simply nourished by love. Unlike the rest of us, who are left starved and dry."

"Deanna, that dress is absolutely stunning. Is that an exclusive Vivian design? I think it's the only one of its kind!"

"Mr. Dennis treats you so incredibly well. Finding a man that devoted in our circle is basically impossible!"

"Impossible is right. Mr. Dennis might be the only loyal man left. Deanna, you are so lucky."

The woman basking in the glow of their endless flattery is none other than Deanna. She has always loved attending these private parties and banquets, regularly meeting up with her tight-knit circle of friends for card games and luxury vacations.

Raised in the sheltered, privileged environment of the Sterling family, she married the well-matched only son of the Dennis family, entirely avoiding the toxic, complicated in-law drama that plagues most wealthy households. Because her husband treats her exceptionally well, she has lived a simple life, free from dark, scheming thoughts. The elite wives here have survived countless vicious power struggles within their own homes, so they naturally gravitate toward someone as refreshingly straightforward as Deanna.

"Oh, you're all exaggerating," Deanna laughs, feeling incredibly pleased but maintaining a humble facade. "Your husbands shower you with gorgeous gifts too. My husband is just as busy as yours. He's always working, so who knows? Maybe he has someone on the outside, and I'm just clueless."

Despite her self-deprecating words, she is one hundred percent certain that Charles is loyal to her.

"Yes, tell us! No wonder you have your husband wrapped around your little finger. I knew you had a secret strategy!"

The wealthy wives lean in eagerly, desperate for any advice she can offer. Deanna happily shares her wisdom, her heart swelling with gratitude that she chose the right man.

She feels her life has been incredibly smooth. Born into the powerful Sterling family, she married her college sweetheart in a perfect alliance that was born of genuine love, not just cold corporate strategy. She even gave the Dennis family three sons and one daughter, cementing her position flawlessly.

As far as Deanna is concerned, the only dark stain on her perfect life is her rebellious, ungrateful daughter.
