Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 480

Adah turned her cold gaze to Vanessa.

Vanessa was already trembling uncontrollably. "Mom..."

"Shut up. I'm not your mother," Adah spat, her voice icy and sharp. "A brat like you doesn't deserve to call me that."

"Oh, you love to eat, don't you? Always snatching things from Claire? Fine. Today, I'll let you eat your fill."

With that, Adah grabbed Vanessa by the collar, yanking her close, then seized the remaining pastries from the table and began shoving them into Vanessa's mouth one after another.

“Eat! I said eat! If you don't finish every last piece, I swear I'll beat you senseless."

Vanessa's mouth was crammed so full she could barely breathe. Her wide eyes brimmed with terror.

She gagged and wretched, but Adah kept a firm hand clamped over her mouth, refusing to let her spit anything out.

In the end, Vanessa was forced to swallow everything, stuffing herself with five times her usual amount of food.

She collapsed on the floor, clutching her stomach, crying so hard she couldn't even make a sound.

It was only then that Ethan snapped out of his shock.
