The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 402

He cannot refute a single word though. He was the one who confidently beat his chest and promised he would properly mentor Jade. But now, he is realizing she is a dead weight he simply cannot carry. Or maybe he just ran into a string of bad luck? He tries to comfort himself with the flimsy excuse. He wants to plead with his older brother a bit more, but noticing Jake’s aloof, utterly unbothered expression, the words die in his throat.

Meanwhile, Tara’s recent practical demonstrations and her custom-developed solutions have completely revitalized the soil. The land that Jade nearly annihilated with her scorched-earth tactic has officially returned to normal. The credit for this miraculous recovery belongs entirely to Tara.

Now, even the most skeptical shareholders are thoroughly impressed and completely won over.

"She truly is Cian's granddaughter. Thanks to her, our losses are fully covered. She totally turned the tide!"

"The rare species in the greenhouse are flourishing under Miss Dennis's scientific cultivation."

"There’s really no comparison. That adopted daughter is leagues behind her."

A fresh breeze of opinion sweeps through the internal ranks of the Dennis Group. Even the lackeys who benefited from Jade’s bribes are too intimidated to utter a single word of defense.

She is seething with indignant rage. Why did they choose that bitch as the brand ambassador?! Clearly, she is the more suitable choice; she fits the corporate image far better!

In her twisted mind, she genuinely believes that without her initial intervention, the crops would have failed completely, leaving the company with nothing to show their superiors. If everything had died back then, Tara wouldn't have even had a chance to step in. It should be first come, first served! Why does Tara, a latecomer who only made a tiny contribution, get handed the massive promotional campaign?

But while Jade is consumed by bitter resentment, she isn't stupid enough to voice her complaints out loud in front of the board. Instead, the moment the meeting adjourns, she makes a beeline for Nikolai.
