The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 285

Sensing her daughter's lack of confidence, Jovani brushes it off with practiced ease. "You don't need to worry about any of that. I will pave the way and eliminate every obstacle for you."

She radiates absolute confidence. It is obvious this is a long-standing master plan, not a spur-of-the-moment whim. Noticing Jade's lingering hesitation, she adds a sweetener. "Going into the Dennis Group is just a transition. Once the scandals in the entertainment world die down, you can always plan your comeback. It won't be too late. Right now, your priority is to infiltrate headquarters, pacify those irritating shareholders, and produce some actual results to shut them up. We can talk about your grand return later."

At this, Jade sheds all her reservations and nods eagerly. "Okay."

If that is the case, securing a power base at the Dennis Group will guarantee her an even stronger position when she returns to the limelight. It is a flawless strategy. There is nothing left to debate.

"That's my smart girl. I'll speak with your father later. Go home for now. You don't need to lift a finger—just wait for my arrangements."

Right now, Dennis Media isn't just facing a reputational slaughter; they are staring down the barrel of a massive lawsuit. James, representing Tara's camp, is counter-suing Dennis Media for defamation, determined to make them bleed.

Because of all this, Jake is teetering on the edge of a nervous breakdown! He is suffocating under a mountain of unprecedented stress and frustration. Having exhausted every option, he is forced to swallow his pride and call Tara to negotiate. When he uses his own phone, he realizes Tara blocked his number. Gritting his teeth, he borrows his assistant's phone to dial her again.
