The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 153

The Dennis brothers have a habit of sacrificing others to pave the way for Jade, a practice that has quietly bred deep resentment. If Jade actually possessed any talent, it might be tolerable, but she is thoroughly mediocre. Unfortunately, since it is the Dennis family's company, nobody dares to complain. They consider themselves lucky not to be entirely blacklisted.

The trio standing before Tara knows this misery all too well. They have been shelved, treated as expendable, and entirely overlooked. They have entertained the idea of jumping ship before, but the offers from rival agencies always came with draconian conditions—exhausting hours, terrible compensation, or punishing non-compete clauses. Trapped by unyielding contracts, they resigned themselves to wasting their youth and talent at Dennis Media.

Now, seeing a glimmer of hope in Tara, their eyes shine with desperate anticipation.

"I'm familiar with all your situations, and I assume Tricia has given you the rundown?" Tara studies them, catching the raw hunger in their gazes.

"She has, but we're curious about your specific plans," Jim says, taking the lead. As the oldest and most experienced of the group, he naturally steps into the role of spokesperson.

Tara doesn't beat around the bush. "I read the initial script you drafted, Jim. The period drama with the espionage and romance elements. It's a fantastic concept."

"Thank you. That sounds incredible," Jim says, the dullness in his eyes instantly replaced by a sharp, burning light. He finally feels like his luck is turning.

Tara then shifts her focus. "Kent, I know you're a brilliant stylist. But Alec considers you a threat. He knows your talent overshadows his, which is why he goes out of his way to suppress you."
