The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 181

Backstage.

Tara holds the flowers he gave her. Since the live broadcast is over, she speaks without much reservation. "Why are you giving me flowers in such a high-profile way? And saying those kinds of things?"

Danny answers smoothly, "To create a buzz for you, of course. It covers up the attention that woman got from falling over." He actually wants to say that he intends for everyone to misunderstand and think they are a couple, but he figures she might beat him up if he does.

"Well, it definitely worked," Tara realizes immediately. Jade's little stunt had indeed garnered a lot of attention, regardless of whether it was positive or negative. But now, with Danny's move, Jade's fall is completely overshadowed. It seems this man knows a lot about the industry.

At this moment, another person approaches.

"Tara, your performance today is absolutely outstanding. Congratulations on getting first place. You truly deserve it."

The speaker is Evan. He wears a crisp suit, looking wealthy and gentle. In his hands, he carefully holds a large, vibrant bouquet of red roses, the petals still dotted with crystal-clear water droplets. A faint smile plays on his lips as he gazes affectionately at Tara, his eyes revealing unconcealed admiration.

Earlier on the award stage, he was actually jealous of Danny's attempt to please Tara. Unfortunately, he never expected her to win, so he hadn't prepared a congratulatory bouquet. He also felt that proactively giving her flowers would somehow lower his status. But seeing someone of Danny's stature lower himself to go on stage and present flowers, and then seeing their intimate interaction gaining massive fan approval, he couldn't sit still anymore. He immediately called his assistant to order flowers—and they had to be bigger than Danny's!

Who would have thought...

Tara not only refuses to accept them but also pulls Danny a few steps away from him. She glares at him with pure disgust. "You and your flowers need to stay far away from me. Don't even try to use me."
