The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 284

Since Jade can't beat Tara in showbiz, she needs to conquer a different battlefield.

"I'll have a talk with your father. I'll get him to put you in the Dennis Group. Working at the corporate headquarters is far better than scraping by in the entertainment circle," Jovani advises.

"What's so great about working at a company? I don't want a boring nine-to-five job. It's too dull!" Jade visibly recoils at the idea. Enduring endless meetings and office politics sounds like a nightmare compared to the glitz of Hollywood.

In the entertainment industry, with the Dennis family shielding her, she gets whatever she wants. She basks in the daily worship of millions of fans. Even if she performs poorly and slacks off, she still gets top-tier VIP treatment. A comfortable job where she can show off and be treated like royalty is vastly superior to corporate grinding.

Jovani sighs, her tone patient. "Jade, the entertainment world is glamorous on the outside, but it holds no real power. Look at the years you've wasted there. Was it truly worth it? The Dennis Group is different. That is the company’s headquarters. Countless extended family members would kill for a position there but can't get in."

She pauses, letting the reality sink in. "You'll step right into senior management. With your father and brothers helping you, you'll have absolute authority. Plus, the Dennis Group spans real estate, finance, tech, and pharmaceuticals. The people you'll meet and the deals you'll handle are top-tier resources. Isn't that infinitely better than the empty vanity of showbiz?"

Jovani bites back the harsh truth—that Jade simply lacks the talent for the entertainment industry—opting for a gentler approach to spare her daughter's massive ego.

"Don't worry. Charles values pharmaceutical talent above all else, especially when it comes to developing new serums and cultivating rare ingredients. Many rare medicinal herbs are incredibly difficult to cultivate right now, but The National Institute of Pharmaceutical Research is desperate for them."

Jovani has a terrifyingly accurate grasp of the Dennis Group's internal struggles and future strategic shifts. "As the country's largest supplier, if the Dennis Group fails to provide these materials to federal departments, or if they lose their top researchers, the company will face catastrophic losses."

"But I'm not exactly confident in my lab skills." On this point, Jade actually possesses some self-awareness. She only studied the field because her mother forced her; she has zero passion for it and barely skated by. In showbiz, she could coast on popularity and look pretty. But you can't fake your way through scientific research and botanical cultivation. It seems she really does need a backup plan.
