Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 135

Vanessa pointed at Claire and exclaimed to the officer, "Officer, it's her! She's trying to kill someone. Hurry and arrest her!"

If she could just get this troublemaker behind bars again and take care of Irene before she could speak, no one would ever threaten her again.

A flicker of malice and satisfaction crossed Vanessa's eyes, as if she could already see Claire being dragged away in disgrace by the police.

It seemed that during her time in prison, the other inmates had been far too lenient on her. If Claire ended up back there, she wouldn't make it out alive.

"Officer, I can testify," the head nurse added urgently. "She not only tried to strangle one of our patients but also stabbed someone with a knife. Please arrest her quickly, or our hospital will be in chaos, and the patients' treatments will be severely affected."

Hearing this, the officer reached for his handcuffs, ready to arrest Claire.
