The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 340

This wasn't some random traffic accident; it was a targeted hit. She refuses to drag the two of them into a dangerous conspiracy.

Despite Danny's efforts to keep the crash under wraps, rumors inevitably leak into the upper echelons of high society, drawing out a swarm of corporate sycophants eager to score points with him. Eventually, the news reaches the Dennis family. Deanna and Charles panic. They usually chalk up their fights with Tara as her being a rebellious, ungrateful daughter, but a near-fatal accident is too big to ignore.

Seizing the opportunity to mend fences, they orchestrate a highly publicized visit to the hospital, dragging along their three sons and Jade. But by the time they arrive in a grand procession, Tara has already been discharged. Danny is gone, too. Their big family performance is staged for an empty room.

"Tara is so thoughtless. Why didn't she let us know she was leaving? I was so worried about her," Jade murmurs. She had fought tooth and nail against coming here today, secretly praying that the crash had killed Tara on the spot. Realizing Tara walked away unharmed leaves her seething, but she maintains her facade of anxious devotion. "What if she isn't fully recovered? What if she rushed her discharge just to avoid us?"

"She is so ungrateful!" Alec snaps, entirely manipulated by Jade's venom. "We bend over backward to visit her as a family, and she just takes off without a word!"

"She's definitely dodging us on purpose," Nikolai agrees with a scowl.

Standing quietly in the back, Jake sneers inwardly. Idiots. They don't have a single critical thought in their heads. He doesn't bother correcting them. One day, his brothers will taste the exact same bitter humiliation he endured. He will just sit back and watch it happen.
