The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 216

"Don't forget about your freeloader of a brother always begging you for cash," Alec presses. "Only the Dennis family can offer you the kind of salary you need."

"Please, your 'high salary' is barely enough to pay a nanny!" Disgusted that he is dragging her family into this, Tricia glares at him. "Ever since I left you, my life has been fantastic. I don't need your concern, okay?"

It is the absolute truth. Since she walked away from the Dennis family, everything has fallen into place. Her brother, no longer able to use her as a crutch after she went abroad, finally turned his life around and started acting like a responsible adult.

Seeing Alec weaponize her family against her, Tricia's eyes dart as a specific piece of information Tara shared flashes through her mind. A wicked smirk touches her lips.

"Alec, haven't you ever stopped to wonder why we always fought back then? Every single time, the root cause was your precious sister, Jade. She's the reason we eventually broke up. Haven't you ever wondered why?"

He freezes. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's quite simple..." Tricia steps in close, rising on her tiptoes to whisper directly into his ear.

When she pulls away, Alec stands completely paralyzed. Tricia gives him a mock salute and turns on her heel, strutting away until her stunning silhouette vanishes from sight.

It takes minutes for Alec to snap out of his daze. Her words echo relentlessly in his mind: Your precious sister didn't want us together. She wants you to stay single forever. She hopes all three of you brothers never get married.
