The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 431

Evan doesn't really pay attention to the online chatter anymore. After being rejected by Tara time and time again, half his heart has already gone cold. He moves through his days like a soulless puppet, entirely devoid of motivation. Whatever his mother wants him to do, he just does it. Honestly, he considers it a blessing in disguise; even if the fans tear him apart, getting to be on a reality show with Tara is a rare kind of happiness.

Meanwhile, Jade's dwindling base of die-hard fans desperately tries to control the narrative in the comment sections. "I'm sure Director Alford invited Jade for a reason. She definitely has hidden talents!" one writes. "I'm actually looking forward to seeing her dynamic with Evan," another adds.

Unfortunately for them, their numbers are pitifully small. Their feeble defenses are instantly buried under an avalanche of hate from other fandoms.

The final confirmed guest on the roster is Nikolai. As someone completely outside the entertainment industry and relatively unknown to the public, he wouldn't normally draw much attention. But he carries the Dennis name and works for the Dennis Group, which instantly sparks a wildfire of speculation.

"Wait, isn't this Nikolai guy a legal representative for the Dennis Group? What is a corporate lawyer doing on a variety show?" one commenter asks.

"Don't forget his last name. He's the second son of the Dennis family. He's probably just here to babysit his little sister."

"Sister? Which one? The adopted one or the biological one?"

"Are you new here? You don't know how twisted those brothers are? They treat the adopted girl like a princess and treat their actual blood sister like trash. Just look at what Alec did to our precious Tara!"

Before he even sets foot in front of a camera, Nikolai is being dragged through the mud. Watching the PR disaster unfold, Jake can't help but revel in his younger brother's misery. It seems Nikolai is going to be a villain before he even gets a chance to be a star. Jake just hopes the idiot doesn't let Jade drag him down too far.
