The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 356

"It’s okay," Evan stammers, glaring at the waiter in sheer mortification. "We know each other. She is just throwing a tantrum."

The waiter hesitates, his eyes darting between the two of them.

Embarrassment morphing into rage, Evan snaps, "Did you not hear me? Get out of here!"

The waiter bows quickly and scurries away. Tara doesn't bother stopping him. The Jewell family wields serious power in the city, and she doesn't want an innocent employee catching the crossfire.

Evan immediately turns back to Tara, his voice dropping into a desperate plea. "Tara, please stop being angry. If this is about my engagement to Jade, I promise I will find a way to cancel it. Just forgive me. I'll do anything you want."

Jake snorts quietly from the sidelines. "Wow. Look at the proud Evan Jewell begging on his knees."

Evan shoots him a lethal glare before refocusing on Tara. He means every word. The regret is eating him alive, and he is fully prepared to go to war with Lana to get Tara back.

Tara rolls her eyes. "A brain is a wonderful thing. Maybe yours will finish developing one day."

The blatant insult completely shatters Evan's remaining sanity. "Danny is not a good guy!" he roars, leaning over the table. "He is just playing with you! He is never going to marry you! Do you have any idea how dangerous the Calhoun family is?"

Everyone knows the Calhoun Corporation is the reigning titan of the country's economy, and Danny didn't secure his position as the youngest leader in history by being soft. He is a ruthless, predatory fox, and Evan is convinced Danny will chew Tara up and throw her out the second he gets bored.
