The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 321

"Mom, why hasn't Dad gotten me into Dennis Group yet? The entertainment industry is too hot for me right now, but I don't want to sit around doing nothing at home."

Jade visits Jovani, hoping her mother will pressure Charles into action. She considers herself a driven, career-oriented woman and refuses to play the role of the clueless, spoiled heiress waiting around the house. Jade wants to be known as a socialite who possesses both beauty and true competence. It is the only way Evan and Lana will realize exactly how valuable she is to them.

"Do you think I haven't brought it up with him?" Jovani sighs in frustration. "But after your latest stunt got leaked, the board of directors is even more furious. There is no way they'll just hand you a position right now."

Thinking back to the press conference where her daughter's scheming was exposed yet again, Jovani feels completely exhausted. She had warned Jade that her plan wouldn't work. Tara is simply too cunning and sharp. Back on the cruise ship, the signal jammer had caught her off guard once. There was no way Tara would fall for the exact same trick a second time.

But her naive daughter refused to listen, convinced the jammer she gave her was foolproof—that it would let her pull off whatever dirty tricks she wanted without being recorded. Jade even lied to her, promising she wouldn't make a move without consulting her first. Instead, she went rogue, clearly pushed to her breaking point. If Jovani had known, she would have confiscated the device. Then Jade wouldn't have acted so rashly and walked right into a trap. Jovani is filled with regret, realizing she severely underestimated Tara.

"So what's the verdict? Are they just going to leave me hanging?" Jade demands. "I didn't even care about joining the Dennis Group in the first place! You were the ones who kept pushing me to enter headquarters. Now that I actually want to go, you can't make it happen?"

Jade refuses to admit that her entertainment career is completely dead in the water, leaving the family business as her only option. Right now, she throws a reckless tantrum, a stark contrast to the sweet, considerate persona she maintains around the Dennis family.
