The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 917

Jade's relationship with her biological mother is currently in ruins. Remembering the vile things Jovani yelled at her makes Jade's stomach churn with humiliation and pain.

"Ha! Relying on rich families instead of your own hard work?" Deanna adds, looking at Jade with pure contempt. "You have to actually be born with that kind of luck."

Seeing that Tara is completely unaffected by Jade's venom, Deanna's racing heart finally settles. But a lingering anxiety remains—is Tara just putting on a brave face to deny Jade the satisfaction, or is she truly unbothered? What if this encounter strains their newly repaired bond again? Deanna feels a fresh, violent wave of regret for ever loving this ungrateful brat while neglecting her own flesh and blood. At this moment, she wishes she could strangle Jade with her bare hands.

Trapped by their flawless counterattacks, Jade trembles with rage. She clenches her fists so tightly her nails bite into her palms. Looking at Tara's calm, mocking face, and then at Deanna's eyes—which are filled with naked, murderous disgust—Jade feels a freezing chill shoot from her heels to the top of her skull. She realizes she cannot win this fight. She has only exposed herself as a pathetic, flailing clown.

Since words can no longer hurt the woman she despises, Jade decides to resort to permanent violence. She will make Tara disappear from this world forever!

"Don't get too arrogant, Tara," Jade snarls, her eyes widening with a desperate, bloodshot insanity. "You know what happens when you push someone to the absolute brink?"

The sheer, unhinged darkness in Jade's bloodshot eyes instantly sets off Tara's alarm bells. She smells danger. Jade looks like a cornered animal ready for a murder-suicide. Tara instinctively tries to pull back, desperate to put distance between herself and the lunatic.
