The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 323

"Then I want in!" Jade's eagerness to personally destroy the woman she hates is palpable. In all the world, there is no one she despises more than Tara. If there is a chance to bury her for good, she isn't going to miss it.

Jovani gives her daughter a complicated, deeply skeptical look. Even though this is her own flesh and blood, she is tempted to ask: Do you have any idea how incompetent you actually are?

Sure, Jade is good at playing the victim, but tasking her with an assassination? The success rate would be exactly zero. If Jovani lets her get involved, Jade will inevitably bungle it, getting herself killed or exposing their entire operation in the process. That would be a catastrophic loss.

Weighing her words carefully, Jovani decides not to completely crush her daughter's fragile ego.

"Jade," she says patiently. "Tara is not an easy target. She might look like she isn't doing much, but she's always calculating. If you rush in blindly, you'll walk right into another one of her traps."

With a soft sigh, she continues, "We need a long-term plan. Leave the professional work to the professionals. That's the only way to ensure nothing goes wrong. You just sit back and relax. I will hire an expert to take care of it. Once it's done, you'll finally have your revenge."

Hearing this, Jade immediately scowls. For some reason, she catches a fleeting look of disgust and contempt in her mother's eyes. She suspects her mother thinks she is useless, though she has no proof.

Jovani knows exactly what she is thinking and changes her tone to sound deeply earnest. "Jade, it isn't that I don't believe in you. This is just too important. Think about it. If you do it yourself and get caught, all the years of hard work we've put in will be ruined. Our main priority is manipulating the Dennis family. Taking everything they own is the ultimate goal."

Stripping Tara of everything she has and inheriting the massive Dennis empire—wouldn't that feel far better than doing the dirty work yourself?
