The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 433

Aside from the paid trolls deliberately trying to smear Tara and her team, along with a few drama-hungry bystanders, the general public simply isn't buying the rumors. Her loyal fans, in particular, refuse to entertain the gossip for a single second. They are convinced a rival is trying to sabotage her. After all, the grainy footage only shows the women drinking and occasionally chatting with the men. There isn't a single frame of inappropriate physical contact.

The very next morning, the moment Tara and Tricia step out of their office building, they are ambushed by a swarm of media.

"Miss Dennis, can you explain the footage? Did you and your colleagues really order male escorts the other night?"

"Is this how you normally conduct your private life? Do you think this sets a good example?"

"Tara, rumors say you and Mr. Calhoun are intimately involved. Won't a stunt like this ruin your relationship? Is he furious?"

Facing the aggressive barrage of microphones and flashing cameras, Tricia bristles, ready to tear into the reporters. Tara subtly catches her arm, holding her back. Stepping up to the microphones, she offers a remarkably poised and unapologetic smile.

"Danny and I are simply friends and business partners," she says smoothly. "Please don’t drag him into this." She pauses, letting her gaze sweep over the hungry press before delivering her next line with lethal calm. "Furthermore, I don't have a boyfriend. I am a single woman. Whether I choose to hire one escort, ten escorts, or absolutely none at all—I don't owe the media or the public an explanation."

She winks at the cameras. "If one isn't working out, swipe to the next. We need to start acting like men—keeping one in the bowl while eyeing the one in the pot. Love them when they arrive, forget them when they leave. We need to walk a man's path and leave them with no path to walk!"

The reporters, initially eager to corner them, are utterly dumbfounded. But as Tricia's bold words sink in, a wave of realization washes over the crowd. The female journalists in the front row suddenly break into enthusiastic applause, nodding in fierce agreement. She is absolutely right—modern women don't need to be shackled by outdated moral double standards!

If Jade were here to witness this, she would likely choke on her own rage. She spent a fortune trying to crush them with public opinion, only for Tara and Tricia to effortlessly flip the script and turn a scandal into a viral masterclass on female empowerment.
