Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 494

Chapter 485

Claire Tempest's heart clenched, a web of pain slowly unfurling in her chest.

Of course May didn't recognize her; she hadn't seen her in this life, so how could she know her face?

Claire had braced herself for this. She'd told herself again and again to expect it. But now, standing here, actually facing it, the ache was more than she could bear.

In her previous life, May had been the only one in the Linwood family who cared for her-who loved her, protected her.

Her voice came out soft and gentle, almost melodic.

"Ma'am, my name is Claire. I'm here to see Mrs. Linwood."

May paused, taken aback for a moment, before she recovered. "You must mean Ms. Jones, right?"
