The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 203

Tears of pure joy well up in Lana's eyes. Trembling, she touches her cheek, feeling the closed wounds. "Thank god. It's really working. What kind of miracle drug is this?"

Deanna stares in stunned silence. Her accusations of poisoning instantly evaporate, replaced by sheer shock. Kellen beams, relieved that this messy conflict is finally coming to an end. She looks at her niece with unabashed awe.

"Tara, you're incredible!" Lana grabs her hands, practically sobbing with relief. "Will my face go back to normal soon?" She no longer cares about looking youthful or flawless; just returning to her normal self is a blessing.

Tara smoothly pulls her hands free. "Just follow the treatment plan. Take the medication, apply the topical ointment on schedule, and keep your diet clean."

Lana nods frantically. "I will! Whatever you say, I'll do it!" Her previous arrogance has completely vanished, replaced by absolute submission.

Deanna watches the exchange, feeling completely disoriented. Seeing the notoriously haughty Mrs. Jewell act so subservient to Tara is jarring. For the first time, Deanna has to admit that her biological daughter possesses a terrifying level of competence.

Tara ignores Deanna entirely. She hands Lana the prescription, exchanges a few warm words with Kellen, and leaves without a backward glance, taking the toxic skincare set with her. Lana is more than happy to see the cursed bottles go.

Back at her lab, Tara thoroughly analyzes the skincare products. The chemical structure and compounding methods are unmistakable—they carry the signature mark of the Alchemist Syndicate. This confirms that someone within the Dennis family has direct ties to the underground syndicate.

Tara's gaze sharpens. Jade is far too dense to connect with an international syndicate on her own. Someone else is pulling the strings. Whether it's Jade's brothers or parents, Tara isn't sure. She had hit a dead end investigating Grandma Eleanor's poisoning, which proved the culprit is highly cautious.
