Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 469

Lucas was so stunned, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

He'd always known Sean was dangerous, but he never imagined his mind could be so calculating.

Just a few words from Sean, and Lucas had been maneuvered straight into committing a crime.

Lucas glared at Sean, his eyes burning with hatred. "You little bastard-you'll rot in hell!"

Sean's smile didn't reach his eyes. "If I'm a bastard, then what does that make you, Lucas? Maybe you should be worrying about yourself."

"You... you—” Lucas was so furious he nearly passed out.

"If your heart was this twisted from the start, they should have strangled you in the crib," he spat venomously.

Sean, however, was completely unfazed by his outburst. As far as Sean was concerned, Lucas was just thrashing around in his final death throes.

That night, the Foster household was a whirlwind of chaos.

Lucas was taken away by the police on charges of assault, and Yvonne ended up in the hospital.

Meanwhile, Sean lay contentedly in bed, gazing out at the pitch-black night, feeling utterly satisfied.

He could hardly wait for morning-he'd finally get to see Claire again.
