The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 191

The tension in the Jewell estate is palpable as Lana gives Evan his final marching orders.

"Deanna just called to invite me to the Dennis manor for dinner this weekend. You are coming with me," Lana says, adjusting her diamond rings. "The Dennis family clearly wants to push you and Tara back together, so you need to seize this opportunity. Do not do anything stupid this time, understand?"

Truthfully, Lana has always preferred Jade. Jade is submissive, eager to please, and effortlessly easy to control. Tara, on the other hand, is a wild card. After disappearing for years, her reputation was questionable at best, and her rebellious attitude makes her impossible to tame. If it were up to Lana, Tara would have no place in their circles.

But everything changed when late Cian left thirty percent of the Dennis empire's equity strictly to Tara. Overnight, Tara's value skyrocketed, making her the ultimate prize.

"Trust me, I want things to go back to how they were," Evan replies, a heavy sense of regret gnawing at him.

Every time Evan sees Tara lately, he is struck by her blinding radiance. She has grown into a stunning, sophisticated woman, exuding a magnetic confidence that commands every room she enters. Her professional brilliance only adds to her allure. Thinking back to how easily he discarded their engagement, Evan feels sick to his stomach. He had assumed she would come crawling back, but she has proven entirely untouchable.

He bitterly blames Danny for the distance between them. In Evan's mind, Tara was simply dazzled by Danny's immense wealth and status. Evan refuses to take accountability for his own emotional affairs with Jade, convincing himself that stepping up to reconcile is already a massive compromise on his part.
