The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 639

Gavin nods without a second of hesitation, trusting her implicitly.

Tara smiles, gently ruffling his hair. He really is the sweetest kid.

She systematically mists his arms, his legs, his face, and even his torso. But aside from making his skin look a bit dewy, absolutely nothing happens.

Refusing to give up, Tara makes Danny turn the boy around so she can spray his back and hips. Still nothing.

"Did I guess wrong?" Tara mutters to herself, her brow furrowing. "Is he really not a test subject? That makes no sense."

"Could they have used a different chemical compound to hide the marks?" Danny suggests quietly, fully aware of exactly what she is looking for.

"This is a highly specialized reactive formula. If the mark is there, this will force it to the surface," Tara insists.

Out of sheer stubbornness, she lifts his foot and sprays the sole, not truly expecting a result.

But slowly, a dark, intricate totem begins to materialize against his skin.

It is incredibly similar to the mark she saw on Jovani, though with slight variations. But the style, the ink, the methodology—it is undeniably the work of the same syndicate.

"I knew it!" Tara breathes, her eyes turning glacial.

Moving quickly to ensure the boy's handlers won't notice, she pulls out a second neutralizer spray and coats the sole of his foot, forcing the dark ink to fade back into absolute invisibility.

Danny knows exactly what Tara is trying to do. By pulling the kid out of the Sinclair estate regularly, she creates a buffer, making it much harder for his handlers to access him. It also gives her the perfect cover to secretly treat his deteriorating health.

Naturally, Danny refuses to waste a golden opportunity. If the kid is at his house, Tara will be at his house.

"Okay!" Gavin signs cheerfully.

He doesn't care whose house it is, as long as he gets to be with them. Despite his age, he is incredibly perceptive. He can clearly tell that Tara has feelings for this tall, imposing man, so Gavin instinctively likes him too.

Tara, entirely missing Danny's self-serving romantic strategy, is just relieved. She isn't a licensed therapist and knows she can't instantly cure his psychological trauma, but providing a safe, loving environment is the best start. As for his physical damage—she is more than equipped to fix that.
