The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 623

"Why do you say that?" Tara asks, tilting her head. Why is her mentor so absolutely certain they will end up together?

"Because you two are destined for each other. In the future, a great deal of responsibility might rest on both of your shoulders," Joseph says, his words carrying a cryptic, heavy weight. Then, breaking his usual stoicism, he mutters, "Besides, Katie is dying for you to be her daughter-in-law. She calls me a dozen times a day to pester me about it."

Tara blinks, entirely caught off guard. Is Katie really that intense? Her mentor prefers utter silence and strict discipline; Katie's relentless calls must be driving him crazy.

Before the silence stretches too long, Tara shifts to a much darker topic. "Joseph, I found the mark of the Alchemist Foundation again."

She has been wanting to share this with him for weeks, but knowing how busy he is at the research institute, she held back.

Joseph's relaxed demeanor vanishes instantly. His brows furrow in sharp concern. "Where did you find it? When?"

"I uncovered some new leads regarding Jovani," Tara explains. "I suspect she has some hidden ties to the Sinclair family. I had Joey look into her past, and he discovered she bears the mark. We're digging into her history now."
