The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Tara frowns. Her intuition tells her something is incredibly wrong, but getting the terrified girl home takes priority. The car turns onto a narrow, unpaved country road. Overgrown weeds line the path, and there isn’t a house in sight. Tara’s guard goes up. Her fingers tap a slow rhythm against the steering wheel.

“Is it around here?” she asks, slowing the car down and scanning the desolate landscape

“Just a little further…” the girl mumbles, her voice dropping to a suspicious whisper.

Right at that moment, a loud bang shatters the silence. The car violently jolts to the side!

Tara immediately slams on the brakes and checks the mirrors. The rear tire has blown out completely.

“What happened?” She unbuckles her seatbelt, preparing to step out and inspect the damage.

Suddenly, a sinister glint flashes in the young girl’s eyes. A loaded syringe slides smoothly out of her sleeve, and she lunges, aiming the needle directly at Tara’s neck!

In a split second, Tara dodges the strike, twisting her body and viciously pinning the girl’s wrist against the dashboard.

The syringe clatters onto the floor mats, its clear liquid pooling into the fabric.

Tara’s expression turns lethal. “Who sent you?”

The girl drops her pathetic act, her face twisting into a mocking sneer. “You caught me. There’s nothing else to say. Do your worst.’

Tara lets out a dark, chilling laugh. “Oh, is that right? You clearly have no idea what my ‘worst’

looks like.”

Before the girl can react, Tara pulls a small pill from her pocket, forces the girl’s jaw open, and shoves it down her throat. The girl’s eyes widen in sheer terror. She gags and thrashes, desperately trying to spit it out, but Tara keeps a vice-like grip on her chin until she is forced

to swallow.

“What… what did you just give me?” the girl stutters, her smugness evaporating into pale panic.

Tara releases her, casually dusting off her own sleeves. “Just a little truth serum. Highly effective.”

The second the words leave Tara’s mouth, the girl clutches her stomach, folding in half as excruciating pain rips through her torso. “Ah! It hurts…”

Tara looks down at her with absolute indifference. “Now, are you going to tell me who sent

you?”

The girl bites her lip, trying to hold out, but the agonizing cramps bring her out in a cold sweat. “I… I don’t know who it is! They just told me to lure you to an abandoned warehouse! They have men waiting to drug you and take photos… to ruin you!”

Jade’s face instantly flashes in Tara’s mind. Who else despises her enough to meticulously orchestrate something this vile? It has the Dennis family’s filthy fingerprints all over it.

Tara’s gaze turns glacial, her fingers tightening into fists. “Where is this warehouse?”

The girl writhes against the car door, violently pointing a shaking finger toward a decaying industrial building in the distance. “Right… right there! Please, give me the antidote!”
