The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 336

She bets everything that this hit was ordered by whoever is backing Jade. Tara has been ruthlessly crushing Jade's influence and digging deep into the background of Jade's biological mother. It is entirely plausible that the shadowy backer wants her permanently silenced.

Danny wields a thick steel pipe he snatched from the ground, parrying strikes with punishing force. The clash of metal rings out in the quiet night. Tara weaves through the chaos like a phantom, her stolen blade slicing gracefully through the air. One by one, the attackers hit the ground.

The duo's combined combat prowess is overwhelming. Despite outnumbering them, the assassins quickly realize they are severely outmatched. Battered and bleeding, the remaining men scramble back to their vehicle and flee into the darkness.

Danny drops the pipe and dusts off his hands, his brow furrowing as he watches the taillights fade. "They won't give up that easily. Whoever is pulling their strings has serious resources."

Initially, he suspected his uncle Garrison was trying to eliminate Tara to sever Danny's strategic alliances. But this feels different—more personal.

Tara tosses her weapon aside and wipes a sheen of sweat from her forehead. "I'm not afraid of them. I'm just sorry I dragged you into this."

"Don't be ridiculous," Danny chuckles, brushing off her apology. "Did you really think I'd just stand by and watch?" He pauses, his expression turning serious. "Besides, I might be part of the reason. I'm not ruling out my uncle's involvement yet. We need to find the mastermind, or this will keep happening."

Tara nods thoughtfully. "I think we should start with Jade. She has someone powerful. It's the most logical thread to pull."

Since Danny trusts her enough to share his own family drama, she sees no reason to hide her suspicions.

"Agreed. We keep each other in the loop," Danny says.
