The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 385

Thanks to the specialized serum provided by her mother, Jade has successfully manipulated several dying medicinal plants into miraculous recoveries. As a result, she is currently being hailed as a visionary within the Dennis Group. Executives bend over backward to accommodate her, and having Nikolai constantly by her side only elevates her untouchable status.

Unlike Jake's intimidating dominance or Alec's explosive temper, Nikolai is known for his approachable, easygoing nature. He is highly respected and deeply well-connected in the corporate world. By personally escorting Jade and aggressively introducing her to his network, he ensures she is treated like corporate royalty.

"Jade, I just got out of the executive board meeting," Nikolai says, rushing over to her with a proud, beaming smile. "I told the board that you are going to lead a tour of the Sector 01 Research Hub."

He leans in, practically vibrating with excitement. "Our top botanists have been failing to increase the yield of our rarest medicinal crops for years. Given your incredible talent, I promised them you could easily double the yield output."

Nikolai is entirely convinced he is doing her a massive favor. If she solved the company's previous botanical crisis, this should be a walk in the park.

Internally, Jade's heart plummets into her stomach. A cold sweat breaks out on her neck.

"Nikolai, why would you promise them that without asking me?" Jade asks, playfully hitting his chest while forcing a nervous laugh. "I haven't even evaluated the soil conditions yet. What if I fail? You just put a massive target on my back!"

"Do you really think so?" Jade asks, her eyes shining with fake determination. "Then I will do my absolute best to prove myself to Tara."

Linking her arm through Nikolai's, Jade walks into the Sector 01 Research Hub with her head held high, radiating absolute confidence. But as they step onto the main floor, her smile falters.

Tara is already there, standing near the testing beds, deeply engrossed in a conversation with the lead botanical specialist.
