The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 391

"You were speaking so fluently a moment ago. Why can't you even string a sentence together now?" Tara asks, her voice dripping with satisfaction.

Tara had spent the last few nights coding a custom jamming application specifically to sever the Neural-Link Earpiece's frequency. She knew Jade was too incompetent to solve world-class botanical problems on her own.

Jovani had clearly kept the answers vague on purpose, likely fearing Jade would stumble over the complex terminology. Cutting the feed right when Jade was at the peak of her arrogance is the perfect punishment.

Jade's face drains of all color. Her mind goes entirely blank. Jovani had sworn the implant used cutting-edge, anti-jamming technology. She had endured agonizing pain for the surgery, believing it would secure her position at the company. Instead, it failed on its very first use, leaving her exposed and humiliated in front of the one person she despises most.

"What exactly is going on here?" Nikolai demands, his frustration boiling over. He is humiliated by association.

"I... I suddenly feel really sick," Jade stammers, grabbing her stomach. Since she can't connect to her mother and refuses to admit she is a fraud, playing the victim is her only escape route. "I can't breathe properly. Can we reschedule the presentation for another day?"
