The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 784

"Yeah, right. You genuinely saw me as your brother? Perfect. Then prove it by immediately returning every single dollar, property, and asset I ever gave you!" Alec snaps, taking a threatening step forward. "The second you hand it all back, I'll believe your 'genuine' feelings!"

Jade freezes, her eyes wide with sheer panic. She never expected him to be this ruthless. She had already blown through most of the cash to fund her lavish lifestyle, and there is no way in hell she is giving back what little she has left.

"Alec, how can you say that?" she stammers, shrinking back. "You can't be serious. You're just speaking out of anger, right? Look, I understand you're upset, and I..."

"Save the pathetic excuses. I am dead serious. Do not try to weasel your way out of this!" Alec barks, ruthlessly cutting her off.

He is no longer the blind, forgiving fool he used to be. Hasn't he paid enough for his stupidity already? Just looking at her makes his blood boil. She puts on this sickly sweet, victimized act, but the second he demands his money back, the mask shatters.

Sitting a few feet away, Tara takes a leisurely bite of her cake, thoroughly enjoying the spectacular trainwreck unfolding in front of her. It is truly entertaining to watch Jade's fake innocence get obliterated in real-time.

Jade stands there with her mouth hanging open, utterly speechless. There are employees everywhere, and Tara is sitting right there, watching her squirm. If she agrees to pay him back, she will be completely bankrupt. But if she refuses, she will look like a cheap fraud. When did Alec become so fiercely calculated? Did Tara secretly coach him on how to destroy her?

"Alec, stop wasting your breath on her. It's really not worth it."
