The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 127

Tara and Tricia had planned to meet at a trendy new café downtown to catch up and plot their next moves. But just as Tara finishes changing and grabs her car keys, her phone rings sharply.

The caller ID flashes with Aunt Kellen's name, instantly sending a spike of unease through Tara's chest. Her aunt rarely calls at this hour unless it is an absolute emergency.

"Tara, where are you? You need to come home right now!" Kellen's voice trembles with panic, a stark contrast to her usual composed, elegant demeanor.

"Aunt Kellen, what's wrong? What happened?" Tara asks, her grip tightening on the phone.

"Your grandmother just collapsed. It doesn't look good. You have to get here right away!" Kellen's rapid breathing echoes over the line, laced with sheer terror. "Dr. Halloway is already here, but things are taking a turn for the worse."

Tara furrows her brow. The Dennis family employs a private medical team comprised of the city's most elite doctors. Yet, her aunt chose to call her specifically, clearly placing her absolute trust in Tara's medical expertise after she successfully cured Kellen's own ailment.

Despite her deep confusion over how the old woman could suddenly collapse when her heart had been steadily improving, Tara doesn't hesitate. "I'm on my way."

She quickly texts Tricia, briefly explaining the emergency and postponing their meeting, before speeding toward the ancestral estate.
