The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 500

Danny's desperate need for praise practically radiates through the phone screen. Tara's initial instinct is to ignore him and let him revel in his own ego. However, seeing his relentless messages flood her notifications—each one brimming with an almost puppy-like enthusiasm—softens her resolve. He is, after all, an important business partner and a major investor in her company. It would be bad form to leave him on read.

She finally replies. [What kind of trap did you set to fleece Garrison so quickly? Does that sly fox even know you played him? He's going to lose his mind if he finds out.]

Garrison had barely been in charge of the project before the whole thing blew up in his face. It was the definition of shooting oneself in the foot.

[Greed always backfires eventually.] Danny texts back, smoothly dodging the subject of his foolish uncle. [Speaking of, considering what an exceptional and promising partner I am, don't you think you should properly maintain our relationship?]

[What exactly are you implying?] She asks.

[Nothing major. I just want to take you out to dinner and chat, just like we used to. What better way to maintain our partnership?]

Tara sighs, staring at the screen. He is a master negotiator, cornering her with just a few slick sentences. She had already brushed him off twice before; rejecting him again would just seem petty. Plus, she does want to pump him for information regarding Jovani and Garrison's suspicious alliance. So, she reluctantly agrees to the date.
