Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 244

If Adah's second child had been a boy, Nathan might not have abandoned him at the orphanage. After all, a boy would carry on the Linwood family name, sharing his lineage.

But fate had other plans-a second daughter was born.

"What good is a useless girl?" Nathan thought as he coldly decided to take Claire away, leaving her at the orphanage. He then returned with the child born to Sophia, passing her off as an adopted daughter for Adah to raise, soothing her grief for the lost Claire.

Every time Nathan watched Adah doting on Vanessa as though she were her own flesh and blood, he experienced a twisted sense of satisfaction.

During Claire's birth, Adah lost a kidney, leaving her unable to conceive again.

Determined to prevent the Linwood family line from ending, Nathan took a sinister turn. He pushed Abbott from a construction site, staging the murder as an unfortunate accident.

Seizing the opportunity, Nathan took over Jones Group, renaming it The Linwood Group, and even changed Ethan Jones's surname to Linwood.

The loss of Claire and her father's sudden death hit Adah like a pair of devastating blows, leaving her physically and emotionally shattered. She withdrew from the business world, her health deteriorating, and rarely involved herself in company affairs.

Initially, Nathan had only Ethan as a son and showed some attention to him. But when Sophia became pregnant again and gave birth to a boy, everything changed.

Nathan instantly found Ethan, who bore the Jones family blood, to be a bothersome thorn in his side.
