Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom

Chapter 490

"Claire was right. Even if she didn't want to make a fuss or seek revenge, Ethan would still run to Nathan and spill everything."

It didn't matter if it was the past or this life-her kidney had been ripped from her body and given to Sophia.

Nathan was ruthless enough to orchestrate that horror before, cutting Claire open just to save Vanessa. Why would he hesitate to dream up the same monstrous scheme again?

Adah's gaze dropped, shame clouding her face.

"Claire, I'm so sorry. I failed to raise your brother properly."

Ethan was always the hypocrite-whether in her last life or this one. Every time, he was the one who hurt her first. But after the damage was done, he'd put on a show of heartbreak, as if he was the world's most devoted brother.

Anyone who didn't know better might've believed he truly cared.

But she knew. He'd never cared for her, not once. All she'd ever received from him was endless humiliation, sarcasm, and cruelty.

Adah nodded stiffly. "Yes, I'll help you..."
