Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 502

She’d been hurt too many times for no reason at all. Even if Adah had changed, Claire couldn’t bring herself to believe it—old habits die hard, and she wasn’t about to let herself get fooled again.

That’s why, in this moment, her words were sharp and merciless, each one aimed to wound.

Claire didn’t hold back; everything she said was as cutting as a thousand arrows, and Adah felt every single one pierce straight through her heart.

There’s a special kind of pain that comes from being hurt by someone you love.

For years in her past life, Claire had suffered at the hands of the people she loved most. How had she survived it all?

“Claire, I’m sorry,” Adah choked out, voice trembling.

“If you’re really sorry, then disappear from my life. Don’t ever show your face to me again,” Claire snapped. She spun around, left Adah standing there, and walked into the house without looking back.

Adah stared after her, watching that resolute figure vanish through the door. Tears streamed down her cheeks, unstoppable.

She’d brought this on herself. She deserved it.

All she could hope for now was that, in this life, Claire would finally find happiness.

But at least, she wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore.

The Tempests adored Claire, treating her like a princess.

Sean had been her salvation in her former life, and now, in this one, he was by her side again.

She was surrounded by friends from the wealthiest families in town; no one would dare to bully her anymore.

Today, Adah had even brought over the person Claire cared about most.

With that, she could finally let go.

Adah lingered for a moment longer, then forced herself to leave.

Inside, Claire pushed open the door to the villa and was instantly enveloped in the familiar aroma of home-cooked food.

She glanced at the dining table and spotted a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup waiting for her.

Step by step, she approached, staring at the soup in disbelief.

The smell... why did it seem so familiar?

“Claire, you’re back,” came Mrs. Tempest’s warm voice. She smiled and said, “You must be starving. Come try this soup.”
