The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 160

"When she makes a fool of herself, it's the Dennis family name she'll be dragging through the mud," Jake says, his voice dropping to a cold register. "She's an ungrateful brat. The politics behind that competition are ruthless. Without our money and connections, how far does she really think she can go? The judges are supposed to be impartial, but we have enough influence to ensure she doesn't get anywhere."

Alec's eyes light up with malicious excitement. "Exactly. We'll teach her a lesson. Let's show her that without our backing, she is absolute garbage."

"Patience," Jake replies, waving a hand. "We don't need to be obvious about it. If she wants to play independent, let her suffer the consequences. When she crashes and burns in front of the whole world, she'll regret ever crossing us. She'll come crawling back, begging for help. We'll use this competition's massive viewership to elevate Jade to the top."

Like his brothers, Jake firmly believes that Tara will fail miserably without their financial umbilical cord. They share a twisted, obsessive desire to see her broken and submissive, desperate for their approval.

"Brilliant strategy, Jake," Alec nods eagerly. "We make Jade the undisputed star of the night and use Tara's failure to highlight her perfection. It's the ultimate slap in the face."

"Exactly. We need the world to see that without the Dennis name, Tara is nothing. And Jade is the true icon," Jake says, a smug smile playing on his lips. "Tell the PR team to aggressively hype Jade's participation. And while you're at it, find out exactly which agency poached those three employees. I want to know who their investor is."
