The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 464

Tara doesn't hesitate for a second. Her rejection is immediate and absolute.

"Alright. Whatever you say," Danny replies, a slow, indulgent smile tugging at his lips. It is a minor disappointment not to have her pressed against his chest in the saddle, but racing her is a close second. He easily selects a horse of his own and mounts up with effortless grace.

[Look at him! Mr. Calhoun literally offered to share a saddle with Tara, got shot down, and he still looks at her like she hung the moon!]

[The classic 'you can't escape' trope!]

[I am obsessed with their dynamic. They aren't even officially together, but the chemistry is completely off the charts.]

[Right? It's like they can hold an entire conversation just by making eye contact.]

[Who cares if he has a fiancée? It was a forced corporate arrangement anyway. I'm shipping him with Tara till the end!]

[Agreed!]

Watching from a few feet away, Julianna takes in the scene. Danny hadn't even spared her a glance, let alone offered to share a ride. A suffocating wave of complex emotions twists in her chest, but she forces her expression to remain beautifully stoic. Without a word, she selects a stunning white horse and swings into the saddle with crisp, unbothered elegance. Her quiet dignity and refusal to fight for the man's attention instantly wins over a new wave of fans in the live chat.

Now, the only two left on the ground are Jade and Nikolai.

[Oh my god, here we go again. The ultimate pick-me is back at it!]

[She plays these men like a fiddle. Evan wasn't having it, but Nikolai is pathetic. He fell right into her trap.]

[This is utterly shameless. Did you see her glare at Tara? Does she seriously think grinding against her own brother is a flex?]

As always, the viewers possess the vicious, laser-focused perception of an X-ray machine. They see right through the facade.
