The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 140

Aside from a brief stint of notoriety built entirely on lip-syncing, Jade has zero actual talent or recognizable work. At the time, Alec had convinced himself that Tricia was deliberately sabotaging Jade by holding back prime resources. Fueled by Jade's tearful lies about Tricia being mean and harsh, Alec had mercilessly replaced Tricia as her manager, leading to their explosive breakup.

Now that he is forced to handle the grueling, day-to-day grind of talent management himself, he is starting to regret letting Tricia go. Having someone competent to do all the dirty work was definitely a luxury.

"The Runway Face-Off?" Jade's eyes light up with predatory excitement. She knows exactly what this is. Recently, a rookie model skyrocketed to A-list status by staging a massive, dramatic controversy during an international runway show. The media frenzy painted the rookie as an aloof, breathtaking victim, turning her into an overnight sensation. Now, that model is booking movies, dropping singles, and dominating the charts.

"Exactly. I'm going to use this event to generate massive buzz around you. We'll overhaul your entire brand," Alec promises, his confidence swelling. As an elite stylist, he firmly believes his aesthetic genius will make Jade the undisputed star of the night.

"That sounds amazing!" Jade cheers, before a calculating look crosses her face. "Do you think... we should invite Tara to join us? I mean, she is part of the family, and she's technically still signed to your agency."

She doesn't give a damn about Tara's career. She just wants a punching bag. The rookie model she idolizes only blew up because she brought her best friend to the show, then orchestrated a plot where the friend sabotaged her out of jealousy. The friend's ugly jealousy perfectly highlighted the model's pure, dedicated professionalism. Jade intends to execute the exact same playbook, using Tara as the sacrificial lamb to highlight her own brilliance.
