The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 168

"Wow, Mr. Calhoun is certainly treating my sister well," Jade says, her voice thick with sour jealousy.

Others might not recognize him, but how could she not? This is the head of the Calhoun Corporation!

Has Tara really hooked a man this powerful so quickly? Does this mean she is completely over Evan?

Impossible!

If Tara truly doesn't care about Evan anymore, then Jade stealing him won't even hurt her. The realization infuriates Jade. Her hands unconsciously fist her dress, her nails digging into her palms. Forcing a sickeningly fake smile, she adopts a mocking tone.

"You're incredibly lucky. You barely parted ways with Evan, and now you have someone as extraordinary as Mr. Calhoun looking after you. I just wonder if it's because your tricks are that good, or if Mr. Calhoun's taste is just... unique."

Her sycophantic friend gasps, finally realizing who Mr. Calhoun is. No wonder he looks so familiar—this is a man who graces the covers of financial magazines, a true titan of industry, entirely out of a mere celebrity's league.

Eager to please Jade, the friend quickly chimes in, "Exactly! Who knows what dirty tricks she used behind closed doors?"

Before Tara can even open her mouth to eviscerate them, a deep, cello-like voice cuts through the tension.

"Tara is stunning, brilliant, and incredibly capable. Evan would have to be brain-dead to let her go."

Danny shifts his dark, predatory gaze to Jade, his words dripping with pure ice. "I heard he gave her up for you? Clearly, he has garbage taste. No wonder he'll never achieve anything great."

He didn't yell, but the sheer disrespect is lethal.

Jade, who had been secretly trying to bat her eyelashes at Danny just moments before, turns paper-white. His tongue is venomous!
