The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 918

Tara blames herself for being too careless. She won every battle, only to stumble at the very end!

Watching the blade descend while completely unable to move a muscle, a wave of profound, suffocating regret washes over her. The thought of dying like this, of never seeing Danny again, tears her heart apart. She deeply regrets being so overconfident. In this terrifying final moment, her mind unexpectedly flashes to her family. She regrets that their newly repaired bond will end before it even begins. She wishes she hadn't been so guarded and hesitant. If she had just embraced them, maybe her family would have fewer regrets after she is gone.

Just as Tara braces for the fatal strike, a deafening scream shatters the air.

"You vicious snake! Don't you dare touch my daughter! You are the one who deserves to die!"

Driven by pure maternal instinct and a deep, explosive hatred for the girl who destroyed her family, Deanna grabs a heavy wooden chair and violently smashes it directly into Jade's back!

"Ah!" Completely caught off guard by the older woman's sheer ferocity, Jade screams as the impact sends her crashing to the floor. The knife flies from her grip, clattering across the tiles.

Without missing a beat, Deanna drops the chair, lunges forward, and snatches the knife off the ground. She immediately drives it straight into Jade's body.

"You ungrateful brat! You manipulated me, you played my sons for fools, and now you dare try to murder my daughter!" Deanna screams, her voice cracking with raw hysteria. "I will never let you hurt her again! Die! Just die! As long as you are dead, she is safe!"

Deanna has completely lost her mind. She stabs Jade five or six times in rapid succession. She looks down at her blood-soaked hands and the mangled body convulsing on the floor, yet she feels no remorse, no horror. Only one thought loops endlessly in her mind: *Kill her. Only when she is dead will Tara be truly safe. Only then will my family be avenged.*

There is no hesitation. Instead, Deanna feels a twisted, overwhelming rush of relief.
