The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 330

Is it all because she hooked up with Danny?

Jade's eyes dart to the striking billionaire, and the harsh reality sets in: there is no comparison. No wonder Tara isn't heartbroken. With a man like that by her side, anyone would move on instantly. The thought makes Jade want to scream. She frantically racks her brain, wondering how she can steal this man away from her rival.

Her plotting is cut short by a voice dripping with ice.

"Don't even think about turning your sights on me. Only your brothers and Evan would treat a piece of work like you as a treasure."

Danny catches her lingering, calculated stare and immediately shuts it down. He doesn't hesitate for a second to loudly clarify his absolute disgust for her. There is no way he is letting Tara misunderstand his boundaries over this two-faced woman.

"I—I didn't mean it like that!" Jade stammers, utterly humiliated at being read so easily. Her eyes instinctively well with tears as she slips into her vulnerable persona.

Unfortunately for her, the act is completely useless against Danny. Luke actually looks like he wants to gag. Ugh. My eyes are burning.

Furious but unable to snap back, Jade turns her tearful gaze to Alec, who just walked up. Seeing his precious sister being bullied, Alec immediately puffs up like a protective mother hen.

"Tara! Jade has been through enough lately, and she's just recovering. Do you not have a shred of sympathy?"
