Kellen initially doesn't want to disrupt Tara's new life or drag her back into the toxic drama of the Dennis family. She can clearly see that since her niece left this house and cut ties with these people, she has become happier, freer, and more radiant.
But given the severity of the situation, Kellen has no choice but to dial Tara's number.
Across town, Tara is busy with preparations for her upcoming movie. She is intensely focused on studying the script, analyzing her character's psychological shifts and emotional beats.
Seeing her aunt's name flash on the screen, she answers immediately.
"Tara, am I interrupting you?" Kellen asks hesitantly.
"Not at all. What's up?"
"Well, it's like this. Lana came to the estate for dinner a little while ago, and Jade gave her a set of skincare products. After using them..."
Kellen briefly summarizes the horrific outcome, then asks if Tara can come over and take a look to see if Lana's face can be saved.
As women, they naturally value their appearance. Seeing Lana in such a grotesque state genuinely evokes a sliver of sympathy.
Unfortunately, Tara doesn't have an ounce of overflowing sympathy, especially when the mess involves Jade and the Jewell family.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Kellen, but dermatology isn't my specialty. Let Jade take her to a specialist. Every debt has its debtor."
Frankly, Tara hopes Lana marches right in and rips Jade to shreds. She'd rather grab Tricia and Bianca to watch the drama unfold with a bucket of popcorn.
Help them solve their problems? Not a chance. She isn't a saint.
Kellen understands perfectly and fully respects Tara's decision. She knows Tara's refusal stems from the deep-seated resentment caused by her parents and brothers relentlessly favoring Jade. That kind of pain doesn't just disappear.
