The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 478

No wonder Garrison couldn't take her down. Jovani seethes, pouring herself a stiff drink. Tara’s impossible to handle with standard tactics. She didn't just evade them; she outplayed them. It's infuriating!

Sitting on the velvet sofa, Jade watches her mother with desperate dependency. "What do we do now? Even Deanna is starting to look at me differently."

Having already lost Jake's favor, Jade is terrified of losing her adoptive mother. If Deanna turns her back, she loses her last shield in the Dennis family.

"So what if she is?" Jovani scoffs, rolling her eyes. "That naive idiot only won the lottery of life. She has no right to judge you. I would have destroyed her ages ago if you hadn't kept getting in my way."

Jovani has nothing but contempt for Deanna. She firmly believes that as long as she holds leverage over Charles, Jade's status is secure, regardless of what Deanna or those three arrogant brothers think.

"No, they're useful!" Jade insists, gripping the edge of the sofa. "Having three handsome, powerful brothers and rich parents waiting on me hand and foot... why would I throw that away? I want them back."

Jovani sighs, seeing right through her daughter's vanity. Jade doesn't just want power; she wants the Dennis family to worship her so she can flaunt it in Tara's face.

"Fine. You can play damage control," Jovani concedes. "Jake will be difficult to fool, but Deanna is gullible. We'll use a sympathy play."
