The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 672

They are so lost in their own blissful bubble that the rest of the room fades away. Their infectious joy spills over into the crowd, prompting a wave of applause and enthusiastic congratulations.

"Congratulations, Mr. Calhoun! I bet half the socialite heiresses in the city are crying in the restrooms right now."

"You two are a match made in heaven. Absolutely stunning together."

"You look so perfect together! I've been rooting for you two from the start, and seeing this in person makes me so happy!"

Whether the guests are genuine or just kissing up to the Calhoun family's immense power, Danny accepts every compliment with unprecedented warmth, nodding and saying "Thank you" to each one.

"Hahaha! This is wonderful! My son is finally off the market. I need to go brag to all my friends immediately," Katie beams, tears of joy welling in her eyes. "Tara is my absolute favorite. You listen to me, you brat—you'd better never mistreat her! If you scare her away, don't expect me to help you win her back."

Katie is so overwhelmed by her son's successful confession that she is practically crying. If she is this emotional now, she knows she'll be a sobbing mess at their wedding.

Unable to endure another second of the humiliation, Jade swallows the bitter lump in her throat, turns on her heel, and storms out of the venue, desperate to escape the suffocating atmosphere.

Alec is equally stunned. He honestly thought his sister was degrading herself by being Danny's secret mistress. But she is his official girlfriend? That means his previous assumptions were completely wrong.

A part of Alec genuinely wants to walk over and congratulate his biological sister. After all, if the Dennis family aligns with the Calhouns, everyone benefits. And even ignoring the family politics, he is genuinely happy to see her in a legitimate, loving relationship rather than throwing her life away.
