The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 319

The shareholders murmur their agreement with Nathaniel, which sends a spike of panic through Charles and Jake.

Charles has always intended for his eldest son to inherit the empire. That rebellious daughter, Tara, is impossible to control. If she takes his seat, she will turn the Dennis family upside down! No. He absolutely cannot let that happen.

Jake shares his father's dread. No man wants to hand over his power and status, regardless of whether he deserves it. Jake isn't entirely incompetent, but the comparison is brutal. Watching Tara's recent ruthless efficiency, he realizes he vastly underestimated her.

Even so, he refuses to surrender his birthright to her. Especially now that he has alienated the little monster so thoroughly. If she takes control of Dennis Group, she will keep her boot on his neck for the rest of his life.

"Tara is a girl, and she knows nothing about corporate management. She's just playing around in the entertainment industry," Charles says, deliberately throwing up roadblocks. "When she left the family all those years ago, she didn't pursue higher education to refine her skills. She's simply not cut out for this level of responsibility."

"Is that so?" Nathaniel counters smoothly, completely unfazed by Charles's glaring hostility. "If I recall correctly, Miss Dennis was always at the top of her class and got accepted into the finest university in Capital City."
