The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 835

At this very moment, the most excited and overjoyed person is undoubtedly Alec. He is still busy showing off to Jake and Nikolai.

Later that evening at the Dennis family estate.

"I performed pretty well today, didn't I? I even got to sit on the sacred stool bestowed by Tara," Alec boasts again during dinner, bringing up his glorious achievement.

His two brothers cast him looks of pure envy.

"That is progress. The last time I went to see Tara, I was only allowed to talk to her from the doorway."

"You had it better than me. She straight-up told me to pass any messages through her assistant and that I didn't need to visit in person," Jake says, feeling a deep, painful sting of regret.

Among the three brothers, Jake had undeniably been the cruellest to his biological sister. Instigated by Jade, he had foolishly fought Tara for shares, terrified she would steal his position as the heir. Every time he saw her, he threw harsh words and ugly glares her way. Now, the regret is eating him alive.

"It's fine, don't lose hope. I've discovered a profound truth," Alec says, exuding the confidence of a seasoned expert. "You just have to do what I do—use absolute, genuine sincerity to move her. She finally saw a tiny bit of my sincerity today, and her attitude is already miles better than before."

Jake and Nikolai nod in solemn agreement. "That actually makes sense."

"Looks like coaxing our sister requires even more effort than wooing a wife. We need to be humble, ask questions, and never fear failure or losing face."

"Your main priority is getting better. Too much stress will negatively affect your condition. We're confident we can win Tara back."

Seeing their mother sigh, they fear she might spiral into dark thoughts. The doctor explicitly stated that since her body hasn't fully recovered and she suffers from severe psychological trauma, she absolutely must avoid emotional roller coasters.

"I don't even want to fully recover. If I get better, Tara probably won't ever come back to see me," Deanna sighs again, her mindset taking an extreme turn. Right now, because her condition needs monitoring, Tara visits every two weeks to check on her and administer treatment. If she is completely cured, will Tara stop coming altogether?

"Mom, you can't think like that!" Alec disagrees. "That will only put more pressure on Tara."
