The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 418

The excitement hits a fever pitch when news breaks that Tara is joining Director Alford's new reality show, and she is bringing the wildly popular singer Loretta with her.

Director Alford's shows are known for their depth and have a flawless track record. With Tara on board, the show is guaranteed to be a massive hit. The announcement of a mystery guest only adds fuel to the fire.

"I can't wait to see Tara! She's definitely going to blow us away again."

"I'm dying to know who the mystery guest is! I heard from an insider that it's someone from the Calhoun family."

"If it's him, that makes total sense. That's going to bring in insane ratings!"

"I really hope Mr. Calhoun joins! I still haven't moved on from their movie together."

"I love them so much. I hope they date in real life."

"As long as it's not Jade, I'm happy. If she's on the show, it's doomed."

"Exactly. What right does she have to be a mystery guest? She's a disgraced celebrity. She should have been banned by now."

The reality show becomes a massive trending topic before it even airs. Seeing the skyrocketing hype, Director Alford and his production team are grinning from ear to ear. Inviting Tara was undeniably the smartest decision they could have made. Casting is everything, and the results are already showing.

At this very moment, Director Alford and his assistant are sitting in a conference room at the Dennis Group HQ.

"Mr. Dennis, could we perhaps discuss a different arrangement?"

Jade has bombed in both acting and singing, and she has been hit by a relentless wave of scandals. She is currently stamped with a permanent "toxic celebrity" label. Not even the Dennis Group can salvage her reputation at this point. He really doesn't want her ruining his show.

"No. Can't you accommodate such a simple request?" Alec presses. "I know Jade's public image isn't great right now, but she brings a lot of conversational value. Tara is on the show, and Jade is her sister. Having both sisters participate will definitely generate massive traffic and attention. Look at their last reality show—it was a huge success, wasn't it? I'm not asking you to give her a ton of screen time or lines, and you don't need to try and make her a star. Just give her a spot on the roster."

Alec's smooth, relentless delivery makes him sound like a master corporate negotiator. In reality, these arguments have been carefully prepared and coached by PR professionals.

Truthfully, none of the brothers want Jade working in the entertainment industry anymore. First, they realize she lacks the talent and has ruined her reputation. Second, they want her to focus her supposed genius on the core projects at the Dennis Group.
