The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 626

Desperate for validation, Jade unloads all her bitter frustrations onto her biological mother.

She feels like she is cursed. Lately, no matter the event—public or private—Tara always manages to eclipse her, leaving her humiliated. The burning resentment is eating her alive. Realizing that Jake is entirely a lost cause, Jade has stopped trying to win back his affection.

Thankfully, Deanna remains blissfully ignorant and fiercely protective of her, completely manipulated by the little hospital stunt Jade pulled.

"I warned you," Jovani sneers, jumping at the chance to poison her daughter's mind further. "You just can’t win the Dennis family over. The moment you slip up, they'll withdraw all their affection. I am the only one in this world who will love you unconditionally."

Jovani is a master of emotional manipulation.

"Look at Jake. He used to worship the ground you walked on, and now he turns on you without a second thought. Look at how viciously they treat Tara, and she's their actual flesh and blood!" Jovani's face twists with disgust.

"I'm different. I only want what's best for you. Come to me with your problems, and I'll help you crush them."

"But I'm Charles's daughter too! I have Dennis blood!" Jade argues, refusing to accept defeat. When she compares herself to Tara, she genuinely believes she is superior in every way.

Jovani's eyes dart away, a flicker of panic hidden beneath her perfectly manicured exterior. She has never told Jade the truth about her paternity. Jade still firmly believes Charles is her biological father, and Jovani intends to keep it that way until the time is right. Slipping up now would ruin everything.
