The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 287

"Jake, I suggest you fix your brain before speaking to me again."

Tara is genuinely in awe of his shamelessness and his stubbornly idiotic logic. She intentionally exposed Jade's manipulative true colors to him multiple times. But this absolute moron still refuses to see it, blindly protecting his precious Jade. Perhaps he does see it, but his fragile male ego refuses to admit that he got played by a two-faced schemer. Coming to beg her for mercy isn't just about saving Jade anymore. He is terrified the Dennis Group will take a massive hit and his position as the future heir will go up in smoke.

"Actually, I suppose I could drop the lawsuit. After all, the main culprit here is Jade." Tara suddenly shifts her tone, a dangerous smile in her voice. "Just have her hold a press conference and publicly apologize to me and Loretta."

A public, face-to-face apology means the Dennis family formally admits guilt, permanently cementing the truth of the scandals. It will also irreversibly brand Jade with the label of a toxic celebrity.

"Isn't there any other way to resolve this?" Jake struggles, desperate for a loophole.

"What other way do you suggest?" Tara laughs mockingly. "Did you honestly think you could make one phone call, spout some irrelevant nonsense, and make this all go away? Jake, you're not that important. You are nothing. Do you understand?"

If forcing Jade to publicly apologize wasn't the perfect way to utterly humiliate her and destroy her career prospects, Tara would have hung up ages ago. Jake actually thinks he has the leverage to negotiate with her?

"You!" Jake chokes on his own rage, silenced by her arrogance.
