The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 263

"Let them talk," Tara says, completely unbothered by the online smear campaign. "The louder they yell now, the harder the backlash is going to hit."

She actually wants them to fan the flames. When the truth drops, they will be the ones crying.

"Ha! I knew you'd say that," Tricia laughs, her eyes shining with anticipation. "We've just been waiting for you to give the green light. It's time to strike back, right?"

Both Tricia and Bianca lean in, knowing Tara better than anyone. They know that the calmer Tara looks, the more lethal her counterattack will be.

"Of course. We don't sit around waiting to be slaughtered," Tara says. A wicked, breathtaking smirk curls her lips. Her striking eyes flash with cold calculation, radiating an overwhelming aura of control. She taps her slender fingers against the desk, every subtle movement screaming pure confidence.

She immediately orders Bianca to unleash their PR arsenal: the secret audio recordings from that disastrous engagement party, plus a very specific set of intimate photos featuring Jade and Evan. If they want to play the tragic, star-crossed lovers, Tara is more than happy to rip their masks off.

"On it!" Bianca grins, practically sprinting out of the office.

Less than twelve hours later, Astra Media drops a massive bombshell on their official accounts. The caption is brief, simply stating it is a formal response to Dennis Media's baseless rumors. The real damage is in the attachments—a flood of raw, undeniable evidence.

The audio file plays crystal clear.

'Tara, stop being so unreasonable. Jade is in the hospital. I have to go to her.'
