Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 373

Claire's face was stricken with terror. "Did you drug me?" she demanded.

Scarlet's lips curled into a mocking smile. "I wasn't the one who gave you the anesthetic. You needed a kidney transplant from Vanessa, remember? The doctors put you under when they operated."

Everything had happened while Claire was unconscious, so she had no idea what had taken place.

Scarlet clicked her tongue in feigned pity. "Honestly, I don't get it. What does Mr. Foster even see in you? Aside from that pretty little face, you're absolutely worthless."
