The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 365

"Jade, we really need to thank you," Nikolai says warmly. "You studied this in college. You should have joined the company ages ago. The entertainment industry practically wasted your potential."

Jake always claimed Jade was unmanageable, but in reality, Jake was the one stifling her talent. She might lack acting skills, but she is clearly a prodigy in pharmacology. She solved a crisis in days that had every expert completely stumped. To Nikolai, that proves she is a genius in her true calling.

"It's not that big of a deal, Nikolai. You're exaggerating," Jade says, playing coy. "I was just feeling down after everything that happened with my acting career. When I heard Dad and everyone stressing over the company, I used my downtime to focus on a solution."

She would never admit that the miraculous serum came directly from her mother. If anything, this whole situation proves her real mother is infinitely more capable than that clueless fool, Deanna. If Deanna wasn't so generous and easy to manipulate, Jade would have kicked her to the curb long ago.

"Alright, enough modesty. Let's go check on the medicinal fields," Nikolai says. He genuinely believes Jade's only flaw is being too humble, hiding her brilliance from the world. A serum like this doesn't just happen overnight; she must have been secretly honing her skills for years. Jake refused to mentor her and dumped her onto Nikolai, but Nikolai now views Jake as an absolute idiot for passing up the chance to work with such a brilliant sibling. It will be incredibly satisfying to watch Jake eat his words later.

Smiling proudly, Nikolai grabs Jade's arm to lead her out. He shoots a stern look at Tara. "You're coming with us. Consider it a learning experience."
