The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 419

Nikolai and Alec remain entirely ignorant of Jade's true nature. They firmly believe she possesses an unparalleled gift for scientific research and herbal cultivation. They desperately want her to work full-time at the Dennis Group HQ.

However, after losing the ambassador role, Jade has spent every day crying to their mother, acting as if she is spiraling into a deep depression. Deanna's heart aches for her adopted daughter. Terrified that Jade might do something drastic out of despair, she has issued a strict ultimatum to her three sons: they must secure Jade a spot on the reality show alongside Tara, no matter the cost.

That demand has led to this exact negotiation.

"But this isn't something I can decide on my own," Director Alford hedges. "Mr. Calhoun is also participating in this show. How about I go back and consult him first?"

He absolutely does not want Jade on his set, but he can't flat-out reject his investors. So, he plays his trump card and uses the billionaire as a shield.

At the mention of Danny, Alec's temper flares. He scoffs coldly. "Who does Danny Calhoun think he is? The Dennis Group is the primary sponsor here. He's not the boss!"

He blames that arrogant bastard for corrupting his sister. If Tara didn't spend all her time hanging around Danny, they might have convinced her to come back to the family by now. The only reason she dares to openly defy them and act so self-righteous is because she thinks she has Danny backing her up. It infuriates him.

"Well, Mr. Calhoun actually invested a significant amount of money," Director Alford points out tactfully. "It's no less than what the Dennis Group provided."

Compared to the penny-pinching Dennis family, Mr. Calhoun is incredibly generous. Not only did he invest heavily, but he also joined the cast without making a laundry list of demands. The Dennis brothers, on the other hand, talk too much, demand too much, and offer too little money. Thanks to Danny's funding, the production team can afford to make the show much more dynamic and entertaining.
