The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 435

"Well, the internet is full of nasty people right now, always looking to stir up a storm," Deanna sighs. "Just remember, Tara is my biological daughter. She is a part of this family, and she is your sister. You two need to support and love each other."

Though Deanna's expression remains relatively composed, a seed of doubt has finally taken root in her mind. An uncomfortable knot tightens in her chest. No matter how fractured her relationship with Tara has become, the undeniable truth remains: Tara is her child.

"Don't worry, Mom. I want to make peace with my sister more than anyone," Jade replies, her voice dripping with sweet sincerity.

Internally, however, a chilling darkness settles over her. Her biological mother, Jovani, has repeatedly urged her to dispose of this woman as quickly as possible. Jade always hesitated, believing her adoptive mother still had value. Deanna's blind devotion and endless pampering fed Jade's ego perfectly; she didn't want to lose that pedestal.

But blood is thicker than water, it seems. Despite everything, this old woman still secretly yearns to reconcile with Tara!

Is having a devoted, perfect daughter like me not enough? Jade seethes inwardly. Guess some hearts just can't be warmed. If she keeps pushing this, Jade really will have to take her mother's advice and get rid of her. A fleeting, ruthless glint flashes through her eyes, vanishing as quickly as it appears.

"I'm glad you understand," Deanna says, nodding in satisfaction. Her adopted daughter is just so sensible and obedient. A few gentle words are always enough to get her back on track. If only her own flesh and blood possessed half of Jade's understanding, Deanna wouldn't have to prioritize her adopted child so heavily. She can't help but feel that Tara simply uses her biological status as a shield, acting out and running away from home without a second thought because she knows she can never truly be discarded. It is utterly infuriating.
