I think it's because their tryst now ending puts her career and social/family life in jeopardy if the secret ever gets out. Also, she probably would have ended it at some point down the line but only when she got tired of MC. Not the other way around. She wanted to be the one to "throw" him away after "using" him.When I once again went through the game, I noticed that Jade is still a hypocrite. Let's remember her chatting with the MC. They discussed Cathy leaving college. Jade at this moment showed herself to be an adult woman and showed a good attitude. "Everything in this life ends, nothing lasts forever and people leave."

Later, when the MC announced that it was time for them to end the "relationship" (if he chose LI for himself), Jade reacted like a hysterical immature girl "Look how I don't ruin anything for you"
It looked like a threat, and the adult woman in it disappeared somewhere. What did she expect? She thought that this was a serious relationship, and not an easy sexual affair that would end sooner or later? Jade has shown herself to be a narcissist and a hypocrite.
Also, I don't think it's the same as when Bella was rejected in ep 8. Jade's motive is different because she's 1. Trying to get back at her husband by also cheating and 2. Is insecure about how her aging and subsequent perceived attractiveness to the opposite sex. Her husband cheating doesn't help with that either. It's also been said that she has a temper and explodes just like Sage does. All that combined and I can understand her initial reaction would be that. Loss of control that she felt she got back through her affair, insecurity due to being rejected, fear for her career/social life if the secret ever got out. All those thoughts just raced through in an instant.
I agree with your statement and it's not like I'm giving her any slack. I'm just not surprised because her reaction all adds up correctly given her current situation and personality.
As for blackmail, that could go either way. 1. She just had that initial outburst and then cooled off after having time to think about it. Just giving MC a mean glare here and there whenever they cross paths or 2. She's cooled off but now she wants to take out her issues on the MC in a vindictive way and not the sexy fun way.
