The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 633

Because of Gavin's condition, the entire Sinclair family has learned sign language. Since Tara and Danny are also fluent, everyone in the room perfectly understands his fierce defense.

"Gavin, don't let her fool you!" Bonnie snaps, her face flushing red. "Why are you defending her?"

Usually, Gavin is completely apathetic, drifting through life without desires, expectations, or emotional reactions to anything. Seeing him exhibit such a massive emotional spike leaves Lindsay and Zoey stunned, thrilled, and overwhelmed all at once.

Gavin smacks the table again, his face flushed with urgency as his hands fly. "She didn't bully me, so I have to defend her and explain for her!"

He wants to make absolutely sure they know how angry he is. Back at the symposium, he had felt profound regret for his own cowardice. A whole crowd had been mocking and misunderstanding her, yet he hadn't dared to speak up, and no one had paid attention to his frantic signing. This time, in his own home, he absolutely refuses to let anyone mistreat his sister.

"Enough, Bonnie, shut your mouth!" Lindsay barks, her maternal instincts flaring as she senses her grandson's distress. "Look how upset you've made Gavin. If you say one more negative word about Tara, or insert yourself where you aren't wanted, you can leave this house!"

Though she is slightly anxious about Gavin's sudden anger, Lindsay is overwhelmingly ecstatic. It has been years since he last acted like a normal child—showing clear feelings and genuine frustration.

How has Gavin developed such a deep attachment to Tara? What went wrong? Julianna had him perfectly trained. He was completely under her control, dependent and isolated, yet Tara's sudden appearance has thrown everything into chaos. Tara hasn't done anything remotely earth-shattering, yet she effortlessly upends Julianna's meticulous plans.

Even Tara's presence in the Sinclair home today was an unexpected blow. Julianna had tried every subtle trick to prevent it, yet here Tara is—charming the grandmother, winning over the aunt, and holding Gavin in the palm of her hand.

Alarm bells shriek in Julianna's head. She refuses to underestimate Tara the way Jade or Bonnie do. From the very first moment she laid eyes on Tara, she knew the woman was incredibly dangerous.
