Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 230

Victor winced as Claire’s grip tightened on his arm, her agitation palpable. He quickly tried to soothe her, "Take a deep breath, Claire."

But how could Claire possibly calm down?

Yet, as she met Victor’s reassuring gaze, she forced herself to swallow the rising tide of emotions, struggling to maintain her composure.

Seeing Claire’s distress, Victor felt a pang of sympathy. Claire's life had been unbearably harsh.

Even as an outsider, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of pity.

At that moment, Sean spoke up, “Claire, come here.”

It was the first time he had addressed her so warmly by her first name.

Yet Claire, with her back to him, neither heard nor saw him.

Sean paused, momentarily confused by her lack of response, then remembered she couldn’t hear him. He stood up, walked over to her, and gently took her hand.

Feeling the warmth of his touch, Claire instinctively turned her head to see Sean’s lips moving, “Don’t worry, sit down and let’s talk this through slowly.”

Claire followed Sean to the sofa, her eyes fixed on Victor, terrified of missing any crucial piece of information.

Victor sat opposite her, clearing his throat, trying to keep his voice steady.

“Claire, I know you’re desperate for answers right now, but this is all very complicated. I don’t know who took your kidney or where it ended up.”

“But I can tell you, your kidney was targeted long before you were sent to prison.”

As he spoke, Victor pulled out a folder filled with documents and laid them out on the coffee table.

“Take a look at this. Isn’t this the kidney compatibility test you did eight years ago? I need to know why you took the test and who took you to the hospital.”

Claire’s hands trembled as she picked up the documents, her eyes scanning the contents frantically.

When she saw the date was from eight years ago, her pupils dilated, and a jolt of realization seemed to shock her entire body.

Everyone present was moved by her anguish, their expressions filled with empathy.

Sean, usually the epitome of calm and restraint, now exuded a chilling anger, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

He had encountered many despicable people, but none as vile as the Linwoods.

However, despite his rage, Sean maintained his composure.

After a moment of contemplation, he hit the nail on the head, “A year ago, did anyone from the Linwood family have a hospital stay?”

All eyes swiftly turned to Victor.

Victor pondered for a moment, then shook his head thoughtfully, “A year ago, no one from the Linwood family was hospitalized... but Vanessa was studying abroad, and only returned this year.”

Sean’s eyes flashed dangerously; he never believed in coincidences.

“Find out if she came back to the country a year ago,” he said, his tone decisive.
