The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 205

"How am I supposed to know why her face broke out? I should be asking you! What kind of garbage skincare did you give me? You almost ruined my life!"

Facing Jovani's slightly reprimanding look, Jade's existing fury morphs into desperate grievance. Her attempt to suck up to Evan's mother has spectacularly backfired, only making the woman despise her more.

"Look, the damage is done. We can only do damage control now," Jovani says smoothly, waving off the outburst. "What happened, happened. There's no use getting worked up over it."

Something unexpected must have occurred, something entirely out of their hands. Jovani doesn't want to dwell on it; arguing will only strain their mother-daughter bond without fixing a damn thing.

She knows someone is digging into her background, and she is ninety percent sure it's that little bitch, Tara. But Jovani figures Tara is just trying to trace the skincare products to keep stepping on Jade. She doesn't believe for a second that Tara has the resources to dig any deeper. If she really had that kind of power, she wouldn't have been so easily kidnapped by Jovani's schemes back in the day. To Jovani, Tara is just a sheltered heiress raised behind the Dennis family's gilded gates, completely incapable of executing anything major.

As long as she stays cautious, scrubs her tracks with the group, and keeps her head down, there won't be any problems.

A smug, self-satisfied smile touches Jovani's lips. After years of manipulating the Dennis family from the shadows, she knows her cunning far outstrips anything Tara could ever muster.

What Jovani doesn't know is that Tara is no longer the girl she used to be. Nor can she imagine the powerful allies and brilliant friends Tara has made during the years she was missing—people bound by blood, sweat, and absolute loyalty.
