The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 257

During the first week of her movie's release, Jade finally tastes the stardom she has been chasing. With her career supposedly taking off, she aggressively books media interviews, using every opportunity to flaunt her designer outfits and high-end jewelry—while taking calculated shots at Tara.

"Oh, this look? My brother Alec custom-designed it for me. He spoils me rotten," Jade brags to a reporter, flashing a diamond-studded smile.

"I honestly didn't expect the movie to receive such overwhelmingly positive reviews. My only goal was to dive deep into the character and respect the script. I just wanted to do the role justice. Box office numbers don't matter to me as long as I don't let my co-stars down."

Then comes the inevitable pivot. "Hmm... my sister's movie premieres in a couple of days, right? I tried texting her about it, but she left me on read. She's probably just overwhelmed with anxiety. After all, she doesn't have much acting experience, so taking on a supporting role is incredibly daunting for her."

Jade sighs perfectly for the cameras. "When she was at Dennis Media, my older brother tried to get her a role, but... well, it didn't work out. It's fine, though. I'll make sure to give her some acting pointers when I have free time."

Her condescending, backhanded compliments infuriate neutral viewers and fans of other celebrities, but Jade's die-hard supporters eat it up. They flood the comments, praising her for being elegant, articulate, and incredibly forgiving.

Initially, Tara's fans and the fandoms of the other A-list actors in Tara's movie hold their tongues. They don't want to start drama that might negatively impact the upcoming premiere.

But Jade's relentless, smug interviews eventually push them past their breaking point. The internet finally bites back.

"Is this Jade girl delusional? Did she forget the string of massive flops she starred in over the last two years?"
