The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 178

Evan initially wanted to refuse, but with Jake personally extending the invitation, he couldn't back out. He never expected to see Tara here. Now, it feels as if he is seeing her for the very first time. He never realized she was this stunning, this commanding! It isn't that she wasn't beautiful before, but she had never been this unapologetically radiant.

[She is like a goddess! She was born to own this stage. She's the only one I can look at!]

[I'm realizing Tara can pull off literally any aesthetic. This Femme Fatale Chic is lethal! I'm officially obsessed!]

[Her walk is flawless. Did she secretly train for this? She's infinitely better than Jade, who claims to be a 'professional'!]

Backstage, Jade watches in horror as Tara struts down the runway in a dress infinitely better than the decoy. The impeccable styling and flawless makeup hit Jade like a physical blow.

She immediately realizes what happened. Tara knew. She came prepared with backup outfits.

Jade's sabotage failed completely, and once again, she is brutally eclipsed.

Panic sets in, not just for Jade, but for Alec. Losing first place is one thing, but getting publicly slaughtered by his estranged sister and the designer he threw away is a profound humiliation.

In the third and final round, Jade attempts a vintage aesthetic, while Tara steps out in a breathtaking Angelcore look. Tara intentionally chooses Jade's signature style to crush her at her own game, proving that Jade's 'angelic' persona is nothing but cheap imitation.
