Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 248

One thing Adah got right-she was indeed seeking revenge.

That's why she chose to conceal the truth that Vanessa was the biological daughter of Sophia and Garnett Brown. Adah needed to experience the agony of cherishing her husband's mistress's daughter while discarding her own flesh and blood like trash.

Adah shouldn't have the satisfaction of knowing Nathan had been manipulated by Sophia and Garnett Brown. In Claire's mind, those who hurt her deserved nothing but to wallow in their misery.

Adah was on the brink of collapse from her torment. Betrayed by her husband, she had lost a kidney. Her father had been his victim, her daughter turned into an orphan, then thrown into prison to suffer, even forced to give a kidney to her husband's illegitimate child.

"Nathan, how could you do this to me-" Her anguished scream pierced the stillness of the hospital room, filled with endless despair and regret.

It felt as if an invisible hand had ripped her heart into shreds, each piece dripping with blood.

Watching Adah in her agony, Claire felt a moment of satisfaction, but it vanished quickly, replaced by deep sorrow.
