The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 307

The crowd practically begging for a scandal, and Jade is more than happy to deliver. She groans in manufactured agony, letting a staff member help her sit up. Assuming the role of a deeply wronged, heartbroken sister pushed to her absolute limit, she points a trembling finger at Tara.

"Tara, why would you do this to me?" she cries out, her voice breaking perfectly. "I told you, if you hate me that much, if you don't want me in the Dennis family, I'll move out! I know you hate that I'm adopted. I know you resent me for stealing the love that should be yours, but I can't help it! I never did anything to you. Why would you push me down the stairs?! Ahhh..."

She collapses into dramatic sobs.

The reporters instantly zero in on the golden angle: Biological daughter, consumed by jealousy over the adopted sister's popularity, snaps and attempts murder! This is a guaranteed viral sensation. The bonuses for this scoop will be astronomical. Suppressing their glee, they put on grave faces and turn their microphones to the "assailant."

"Tara, is this true? Did you push her out of jealousy?"

"Have you always wanted her dead?"

Faced with the barrage of accusations, Tara remains completely unfazed. Honestly, she is thoroughly impressed by Jade's acting skills. If the girl channeled half this much energy into her actual career, Dennis Media wouldn't have burned through millions of dollars on flop after flop.

Hearing the commotion, Jake presses his lips into a hard line, staying completely silent. Whether Jade is faking it or truly hurt, this situation is radioactive. The dread in his stomach expands. He just knows this stupid bitch is going to drag him down with her.

"You talk about moving out every single day, yet your bags are never packed," Tara sneers, utterly unbothered. "Also, I actually tried to save you from your own stupidity. You were the one thrashing around, desperate to fall. I figured I'd grant your wish, and now you're complaining?"

Tara casually shrugs her shoulders, looking so genuinely exasperated that Tricia and Loretta burst out laughing. Hearing their laughter, Jade's face contorts with venomous rage.
