The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 348

"Jo, you know exactly how I feel about Tara," Charles says, catching her wrist and pulling her gently back against his chest. "It isn't just me anymore. Tara is at war with the entire family."

He lets out a heavy, dramatic sigh, flawlessly masking the calculating glint that flickers in his eyes.

Jovani watches him closely, quietly probing for his bottom line. She needs to know if his hands are truly tied, or if she just needs to push harder. But after pressing him this much without him caving, she finally accepts that he really has hit a wall. After all, this man has spent years giving her every single thing she has ever asked for. This is the first time he has ever said no. In her mind, that means it must be genuinely impossible.

A sharp, cunning light dances in Jovani's eyes as she quickly shifts her strategy. "Charles, I know the Dennis Group is dealing with a million different crises right now. I completely understand how much pressure you are under."

After a few more sweet, placating words, she casually steers the conversation in a new direction. "Speaking of the company's struggles, didn't you mention the other day that the new botanical yields were failing? That entire fields of crops are just withering away?"

Charles nods, his expression darkening at the reminder.

"Well, as it happens, I managed to track down an old cultivation master who guarantees he can save those fields and stop the company from taking a massive financial hit," Jovani says smoothly.
