The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 401

News of Tara’s recent technical demonstration, her detailed breakdowns, and her flawless practical application spreads like wildfire through the Dennis Group. Very quickly, her undeniable competence and professional grace win over the majority of the staff, earning her a new wave of admiration.

This is especially true for the rare herbs cultivated in the greenhouse. Ever since she eradicated the pest infestation, the plants haven't just survived—they are thriving more vibrantly than ever. The custom nutritional solutions and specialized fertilizers Tara developed personally yield immediate, visible results. And that doesn't even account for the supposedly extinct medicinal plant she gifted the company.

"Miss Dennis is seriously incredible. Mr. Dennis should have brought her back ages ago," one employee whispers.

"If she had returned earlier, the Dennis Group would be dominating the market by now. Our year-end bonuses would be through the roof," another agrees.

"Honestly, out of all four Dennis siblings, Tara is the only one who truly takes after Cian. She’s inherited his absolute brilliance."

"Looking at it now, Jade’s contribution is nothing. Sure, she temporarily saved the base's fields, but the chemicals she used practically poisoned the crops."

"It looks fine on the surface, but I heard Dr. Adams say he analyzed it. Her solution might have revived the wilting herbs, but the side effects are massive."

"Yeah, after this harvest, that soil is completely dead. It won't bloom or bear fruit ever again. It’s basically a wasteland."

Jade’s chemical treatment did technically work, giving the Dennis Group a brief moment to breathe and appease their superiors. But the resulting nightmare is far worse—the massive side effects. The soil is now irreversibly polluted.

When the Dennis family first cultivated this specific plot of land, they poured millions of dollars into enriching the soil. The herbs they grow are incredibly delicate and precious; they cannot survive in ordinary dirt. While Jade solved the immediate crisis, the aftermath is a catastrophic headache. Resurrecting a dead plot of land will cost an exorbitant amount of manpower, time, and money. If her chemicals hadn't been so harsh, the land could have continued yielding new crops for another decade without reseeding. Now, it is a dead end.
