Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 107

Claire's heart was filled with scorn and indifference.

Watching Adah put on such an act made her feel utterly disgusted.

Just last night, Adah had mercilessly struck her with an ashtray, showing not even

Claire's rejection was like a dagger to Adah's heart. "Claire, I truly know I was wrong this time. Can you forgive me just this once?"

Seeing that Claire remained unmoved, Ethan quickly interjected, "Claire, Mom was impulsive yesterday, but she regretted it deeply afterward. She searched for you all night, scouring every corner of Crestwood."

"We're family, Claire. Blood ties are unbreakable. Look at your mom now; she's genuinely afraid of losing you."
