The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 451

"Wel... I just meant that herbs have different hydration needs. Some... uh... some need the soil to be kept moist, and..."

Jade's stammering explanation is a far cry from her previous confident persona. No one in the room is stupid, and even Evan catches onto the glaring inconsistencies. He rolls his eyes, thoroughly regretting the fleeting moment he actually considered giving her another chance. His gaze drifts over to Tara, who stands quietly a short distance away. The contrast between the two women is night and day. A profound sense of regret washes over him for not cherishing Tara when he had the chance. He absolutely cannot stand Jade's incompetence anymore. Once this reality show wraps up, he is going to cancel their engagement, no matter what it takes.

"Alright, Jade, since you aren't feeling well, you can get some rest. Let Tara take over. She knows this field inside and out." Even Nikolai has to step in and offer her a way out. He never expects her to make the exact same mistake twice. Just moments ago, he was giving her so much credit in front of everyone, claiming how proud he was and how gifted she is. Those words burn like a fresh slap to the face now.

The live stream chat explodes.

[Ugh, she is so fake. The second she doesn't know the answer, she suddenly acts sick.]

[If she doesn't know it, she shouldn't try to show off! Why can't she just stand quietly on the side like Miss Sinclair?]

[Even Nikolai can't stand her anymore. He just handed her the most awkward excuse to back down.]

Back at the Dennis family estate, Jake watches the broadcast with a cynical smirk. Nikolai has been humiliated by Jade twice now, and with the exact same mistake. He wonders what is going through his younger brother's head. If Nikolai doesn't wake up after this, Jake might just wring his neck.

"What on earth is going on? Isn't this Jade's major? She was doing so well just a minute ago, why is she stuttering?" Deanna frowns as she watches the screen from the living room couch.
