Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 246

"You’re nothing but a cripple now, a disgrace that everyone despises!"

"Serves you right!"

"Justice at last!"

Claire found herself torn in a whirlwind of emotions—one moment, she was laughing at Nathan's ludicrous downfall, and the next, she was overwhelmed with sorrow for the suffering she and Adah had endured. Her emotions swung like a pendulum, leaving her dizzy and unsteady on her feet.

Sean caught her just in time as she swayed.

Looking up, Claire met Sean’s concerned gaze. She managed a faint smile and whispered, "Mr. Foster, I’m alright."

Once she steadied herself, a determined glint appeared in Claire's eyes. "Mr. Foster," she declared, "I want to go out today. I need to visit Mrs. Linwood at the hospital."

Sean had already guessed the reason behind her visit.

Claire was ready to settle the score.

Whether it was Nathan, Adah, or Ethan, the pain they'd caused her was about to be repaid in full. Armed with the truth, she intended to enlighten her "dear mother" and let her share in the revelations.

Sean was about to drive Claire to the hospital when his phone rang. It was an urgent call from Cresthaven’s leadership, requesting a meeting to discuss the Eastborough Project—a matter of significant importance to Cresthaven’s future. Unable to decline, Sean turned to Jeffry.

"Jeffry," he instructed, "from now on, you’re Ms. Linwood’s personal bodyguard. Ensure her safety at all costs."

As Claire traveled to the hospital, her mind was a tumult of thoughts, especially imagining Adah's reaction to the truth. Adah, who had lived a life of privilege and pride, manipulated by Nathan—a man who had cunningly crafted his way into her world. Claire was determined for Adah to see Nathan’s true colors and taste the bitterness of betrayal.

Claire placed a folder on the bed.

Adah snatched it up, ready to tear it apart without a glance. But Claire’s voice stopped her. "Are you sure you don’t want to see it? It’s filled with secrets about the Linwood family."

Secrets? What secrets could the Linwood family possibly have?

Though Adah shot Claire a venomous glare, her curiosity got the better of her. She couldn’t help but glance down at the papers.

Moments later, Adah’s head shot up, her voice a raw scream. "Impossible! You forged this, you malicious witch, trying to drive a wedge between Nathan and me!"

Her protests were frantic, her head shaking as if to deny the reality before her. Yet tears she couldn’t control welled up, spilling over, her body trembling violently as if struck by a bolt of anguish and disbelief.
