Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 444

Usually, whenever Sean was at home, she barely stepped out of her room, doing her best to avoid running into him.

This time, she only ventured out because she’d seen Sean leave earlier; it was the only time she felt safe enough.

She never expected to run into Claire instead.

Claire’s eyes instantly went cold, narrowing with suspicion as she watched Yvonne approach.

Noticing the caution in Claire’s gaze, Yvonne cursed inwardly: Typical—Sean’s little friends are just as insufferable as he is.

Masking her distaste, Yvonne reached out with a manicured hand, her nails painted a glossy red, and tried to pat Claire’s head. Her voice dripped with sickly sweetness. “Well, aren’t you just adorable? Whose little girl are you? Are you Sean’s friend?”

Claire recoiled, ducking away so Yvonne’s hand caught nothing but air.

Yvonne’s eyes flashed with sudden anger.

Brat. Doesn’t know her place.

As Yvonne studied Claire, her gaze fell on the pendant hanging around the girl’s neck.

Wait a second. That pendant looks exactly like the one Sean always wears.

No—this *is* Sean’s pendant.

He guarded it jealously, never letting anyone so much as touch it. Now, here it was, dangling from this little brat’s neck.

A sly, malicious smile crept across Yvonne’s lips.

So, Sean actually cares about this kid—cares enough to give her something he treasures.

If something were to happen to the girl—if she were hurt, or even killed—how devastated would Sean be?

She couldn’t get to Sean directly, that freak was untouchable. But if she went after someone he cared about, maybe that would be enough to destroy him.

With that thought, Yvonne suddenly grabbed Claire, lifting her up and dragging her toward the staircase railing, intending to throw her over the edge.
