The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 748

The room instantly erupts into frantic whispers as the remaining executives realize exactly where the power now lies, deciding their own allegiances on the spot.

While Jovani beams with absolute triumph, Tara sits completely frozen. It takes a lot to catch her off guard, but this betrayal hits like a physical blow. Aside from learning the horrifying truth about her father's death, this is the first time she has shown genuine shock. She stares at Nathaniel in total disbelief.

The man she trusted feels like a total stranger.

She truly never saw this coming. He actually betrayed their years of friendship and sold her out to Jovani.

But the shock quickly dissolves into a chilling realization.

It was him. The ultimate mole she and her father had spent months trying to hunt down was Nathaniel all along. She had suspected various executives and even her own brothers, and yes, Nathaniel had been on the list. Tara trusts very few people in this world, but because Nathaniel's grandfather was a fiercely loyal subordinate to her own grandfather, she had given him the benefit of the doubt.

She knew this was the only choice he could make. Feeling untouchable, she turns a condescending smile toward Tara. "Tara, you're still so young. You have so much to learn. Just step back and let me handle things. I'll take this company to a whole new level. Besides, your mother and brothers aren't even here to object."

Since Deanna, Jake, Nikolai, and Alec are absent, Jovani assumes they don't care. She firmly believes the Dennis family is entirely fractured and that no one is coming to save Tara. She already did her homework on Kellen and Eleanor—they don't have enough shares to pose a threat, and the old woman is too busy praying at the temple to fight a corporate war. The two of them combined could never out-vote a unified board.

Jovani knows she has won. The Dennis Group is hers.
