The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 826

Unfortunately, Bonnie doesn't notice Gavin's fear at all. Her attention is completely focused on Julianna's words, and she quickly chimes in, "Exactly! Why are you asking about all that?"

Bonnie is still reeling from the explosive revelation about Jade, leaving her drained of her usual fiery energy. Even though she is backing Julianna up, her tone is noticeably weaker.

"Nothing in particular, just curious. I was wondering if there are any dark secrets hidden around here." Tara doesn't bother hiding her intentions and just lays it out flat. As she speaks, she carefully studies Julianna's expression. Seeing the faint flicker of alarm in the other woman's eyes confirms her suspicions.

Julianna is definitely hiding something.

"Wow, I'm honestly amazed by you. Do you think being this blunt is something to be proud of?" Bonnie huffs a cynical laugh, feeling entirely speechless when it comes to Tara. She doesn't even know what to say anymore.

Only Julianna manages to keep her expression carefully blank, though her fingers unconsciously gripping her skirt betray her mounting tension.

"I mean, it's alright. I wouldn't call it proud," Tara replies effortlessly.
