The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 303

Her flawless performance instantly stirs sympathy among the casual viewers and some of the reporters.

"It's not that big of a deal, honestly. She made a mistake and she's fixing it. She seems like a sweet kid."

"Yeah, it's way better than those arrogant celebrities who use their wealth to bully people. At least she has the guts to apologize publicly."

To the untrained eye, she is just a young girl who deserves a second chance. After all, it isn't like she committed murder. But standing nearby, Jake mentally scoffs, marveling at the sheer manipulation of this woman. In the past, he would have agreed with the crowd, thinking the company management had failed her and that she was a victim of bad PR. Now, he sees right through her bullshit. Her tearful confession about being "young and naive" and "blindly following the company's advice" is a direct, calculated attack on him. She is subtly shifting the entire blame onto Dennis Media's executives, implying she was just a helpless pawn forced into a bad decision.

"Just make sure you never pull a stunt like this again," Loretta replies evenly. She isn't the vindictive type. Since Jade apologized and the world now knows Loretta is the true original singer, she is ready to move on.

"Thank you, Loretta. Thank you, Tara," Jade says sweetly, while internally screaming and wishing she could slap them both across the face.

"Don't thank me," Tara says, leaning back with a dismissive smirk. "And while I couldn't care less about Evan anymore, the fact remains that you hooked up with him before we officially broke off the engagement."
