The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 283

"But what exactly do I do? Jake and Alec aren't treating me with the same devotion they used to," Jade complains.

Jade doesn't know the full extent of her mother's past, but she knows Jovani is ruthlessly cunning. She paved a perfect road for her. If Jovani hadn't orchestrated her entry into the Dennis family and taught her exactly how to win over her adoptive parents and brothers, she would never have this perfect, princess-like life. However, this fairy-tale existence is now showing dangerous cracks. If she doesn't do damage control immediately, the cracks will shatter her entire world.

"The Dennis family really mishandled this. Honestly, I didn't expect those three brothers to get outplayed by their own biological sister. Pathetic." Jovani sneers in disgust. She views Deanna's sons as nothing but useless dead weight.

As for Tara, Jovani used to think she was a naive little girl raised in a greenhouse, completely vulnerable. That was why she managed to successfully have the girl kidnapped from a banquet years ago. But when Tara returned years later, she was a completely different person. Not only did all of Jovani's recent traps fail to bring her down, but Tara actually counter-tracked her, harboring deep suspicions that Jovani couldn't shake off. Something is definitely off about her.

"So what do we do? Just give me a solution!" Jade snaps, losing her patience. Her mother is just spouting useless nonsense instead of giving her a concrete plan.

"I told you before. We just eliminate those three brothers, but you insisted on keeping them around, saying it wasn't the right time. Those useless fools are a liability. They can't help you, and now they're dragging you down." Jovani frowns, annoyed by the topic.

"Leave the industry? Why? I worked so hard to build my fanbase. It's just a tiny setback!" The thought of giving up her celebrity status leaves a bitter taste in Jade's mouth. "Tara won’t get lucky every single time. I'll definitely win the next round."

"It's already going to be nearly impossible to make a comeback from this, and you want to wait for a next time? This scandal isn't blowing over anytime soon."

Jovani keeps a close eye on her daughter's public relations disasters, silently adding more grudges to Tara's tab. Since she watches the situation closely, she knows it is a dead end. When it comes to the ruthless games of the entertainment world, her daughter is entirely outmatched by Tara. It is glaringly obvious that that little bitch has an incredibly sharp intuition for industry rules. She has likely been plotting this trap for a very long time.
