The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 935

Tara has kept the secret flawlessly. Not a single rumor has leaked over the years. Now, the ultimate prize has practically fallen right into Jovani's lap.

A manic, desperate gleam sparks in her eyes, swirling with a mix of wild ecstasy and sheer ruthlessness. Her skeletal fingers curl into tight fists, the physical strain entirely eclipsed by her manic obsession. All she cares about is Charles's hidden formula. This isn't just the key to curing her horrific side effects—it is the ultimate leverage to force Gregory back into her arms!

It is an absolute godsend. She finally has the bargaining chip to negotiate her way back into his life. Despite his recent coldness, Jovani's twisted obsession with the man only grows stronger the more he ignores her. Utilizing her remaining wealth and underground connections, she begins plotting how to pry the formula from Tara's grasp. Bursting with anticipation, she tries calling Gregory multiple times. When the bastard predictably ignores her calls, she fires off a text detailing her discovery.

Seconds later, her phone lights up with his incoming call. Jovani snatches it up instantly.

"Are you absolutely certain Tara has it?" Gregory demands, skipping the pleasantries altogether.

"Heh. You're as opportunistic as ever. If it weren't for this, you'd never call me again, would you?"

"Where are you? I'll come to you. We need to discuss this in person."

Hearing that he wants to see her sends a thrill straight through Jovani's heart. How long has it been? It feels like an eternity since he last visited her. Overjoyed, she immediately names a meeting spot. After hanging up, she rushes to her vanity, desperate to make herself look presentable for the man she loves.

But the moment she catches sight of her reflection, the brutal reality comes crashing down. The terrifying, aging monster staring back at her is a stark reminder that she is no longer the elegant, pampered socialite she once was. Her eyes are deeply sunken, underscored by dark, bruised circles that make it look like she took two heavy punches to the face. Her once firm, radiant cheeks droop heavily, and deep, aggressive wrinkles spiderweb from her eyes like cracks in parched earth.
