The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 828

Although they appear to be two separate entities, any major moves or directives on his end are completely dictated by Tara's team—specifically, by Tricia.

Tricia is now the highest executive at the media division. Even though she no longer works directly alongside Tara and Bianca every day, they are still highly connected within the corporation. As Tricia heads down to the parking garage to drive over to the main office to discuss some projects with Tara, she bumps right into someone.

"Hey, Tricia, heading out?"

The man approaching her with an eager, fawning smile is none other than Alec.

"Yeah. What do you want?" Tricia isn't surprised in the slightest to see him. Lately, this annoying man has been popping up around her constantly.

Ever since Jade's manipulative colors were fully exposed, he is undoubtedly drowning in regret. He keeps seeking Tricia out, desperately hoping to use her as a bridge to repair his shattered relationship with Tara.

"Wait, wait! Where are you going? Take me with you! If you're going out to eat, I can just sit at the next table over!" Alec panics, terrified she will just drive off. He thrusts his long arm out, blocking her from closing the door.

Tricia lets out an exasperated sigh. Seeing him act so pathetically softens her resolve just a fraction. "I'm heading over to the main office to discuss some business with Tara," she admits.

She knows all three Dennis brothers are consumed by guilt and desperate to mend things with Tara. As Tara's best friend, she naturally hopes for a reconciliation. Despite the explosive conflicts and the massive rift between them, they are still family. It isn't her place to interfere directly, but she genuinely wants Tara to experience the warmth of her family again. Charles' death devastated Tara, and Tricia knows a lot of misunderstandings fueled their estrangement. She hopes the brothers can clear the air so her best friend can finally have both career success and family happiness.
