The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 859

In the past, Deanna provided her with a limitless monthly allowance, allowing her to buy whatever her heart desired. Now, her cash flow is entirely cut off, but her extravagant spending habits remain. Though her biological mother isn't exactly poor, Jovani spends the majority of her wealth on herself, leaving very little for Jade. After all, Jovani is just a mistress with no aristocratic pedigree; her financial power is nothing compared to Deanna's vast family fortune.

"You'll endure it whether you like it or not!" Jovani snaps, dropping any pretense of maternal warmth. She glares at her daughter coldly. "Or, if you're so capable, you can go make your own way and stop relying on me."

When money was flowing and they were freely leeching off each other's resources, they played the part of the loving mother and daughter perfectly. But now, faced with hardship and dwindling benefits, that facade has crumbled, revealing nothing but ugly, selfish ambition.

A sudden wave of jealousy washes over Jovani. She almost envies Deanna. At least Deanna gave birth to someone as brilliant as Tara—a daughter who can guarantee her mother infinite wealth and power. And what does Jovani have?

She casts a disgusted look at Jade. Her worthless daughter is not only useless, but an active liability. And now, she has the audacity to act entitled and complain, completely blind to her own incompetence.

Sensing the shift in Jovani's tone, Jade finally snaps back to reality. Her arrogant fury shrinks instantly.

"I—I didn't mean it like that," she stammers, quickly lowering her head. "I'm just so anxious. I'm sorry, Mom."
