The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 200

Armed with a swarm of unanswered questions, Tara immediately calls her aunt back.

"Aunt Kellen, actusally, I just remembered I actually have a lot of experience with dermatological treatments. I'll head over right now."

Yes, she suddenly feels an overwhelming surge of saintly compassion.

By the time Tara arrives at the Dennis estate, Lana is still wailing and tearing the place apart. Her piercing shrieks echo all the way to the front gates.

Stepping into the parlor, Tara finds Deanna looking like she is on the verge of a total mental breakdown.

"Kellen, bringing Tara here is useless! I want Jade to pay for what she had done!" Lana's hysteria reaches a fever pitch. Stripped of all her high-society elegance, she whirls around and unleashes her fury on Deanna. "I know you've always favored Jade and treated your own flesh and blood like garbage! But don't think for a second you can use your biological daughter as a human shield to protect that little adopted bitch! I won't let her off the hook!"

"I'm not! I didn't ask her to come!" Deanna cries, feeling incredibly wronged.

She doesn't think she is that biased. Aren't human relationships reciprocal? Jade is always sweet, attentive, and caring, while her ungrateful biological daughter is perpetually cold and distant. Isn't it perfectly normal to favor Jade just a tiny bit?

In Deanna's mind, no parent in the world can truly balance their love perfectly level. Even if they claim they do, it's just a performance for the gullible. Besides, with Lana acting like a deranged lunatic, she never once intended to throw Tara into the line of fire! She feels utterly victimized.

"Oh, spare me the act! Everyone in our social circle knows your favoritism toward Jade stretches across the Pacific!" Driven by frantic desperation, Lana's filter is completely gone. She spews whatever venom comes to mind.

Tara casually crosses her arms and leans against the doorframe, silently enjoying the show. Consider it collecting a little interest on their past debts.
