The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 937

"Looks like this is the real deal. That little bitch hid it remarkably well, playing dumb the entire time," Gregory says. After scrutinizing the documents, he is thoroughly convinced that the prize they seek is in Tara's possession. Thrilled by the imminent massive payoff, his intense disgust toward Jovani temporarily fades into the background. "Keep this strictly confidential. Don't make any moves until I give you the next set of instructions."

Having secured what he came for, Gregory immediately turns to leave.

"Are you really leaving already? You aren't lying to me, are you? You're not going to just toss me aside again?" Jovani asks, panic creeping into her voice. Terrified of outliving her usefulness, she desperately wants to spend more intimate time with him. However, acutely aware of her horrifying appearance, she doesn't dare remove her mask and sunglasses to beg.

"Of course not," he lies effortlessly. "I need to go negotiate with the boss and figure out the best way to extract that formula from Tara. Once we secure it, we can finally cure your side effects. Just stay home and focus on your health. That's the most important thing right now."

With a few masterfully crafted lies, he pacifies her completely.

Left alone, Jovani sinks slowly into a chair, listening to his fading footsteps. She pulls off her sunglasses, revealing bloodshot, lifeless eyes swirling with confusion and fear. But her fate is sealed; there is no turning back.

Meanwhile, the man rushing away from the rendezvous has already discarded every promise he just made. In the past, he kept her around as a mistress because she provided value and shared a child with him. Now, their daughter Jade is dead, and Jovani has morphed into a hideous creature that looks more demonic than human.
