Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 21

"Yes, yes, call him, call him right now." Adah hurriedly dialed Ethan’s number.

Just a second later, they heard the phone ringing from the study next to the bedroom.

Nathan and Adah exchanged a glance and rushed towards the study.

As they pushed the door open, a strong smell of alcohol hit them.

When they turned on the light, they found Ethan sitting on the floor against the wall, surrounded by empty bottles.

Squinting against the sudden brightness, Ethan frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

Nathan's anger flared as he pointed at Ethan and shouted, "Look at the state you're in!"

Ethan casually shook the bottle in his hand and, finding it empty, tossed it aside with a shrug.

Nathan was furious. "Why did you abruptly end the partnership with Cole Industries? They're one of our key partners, and Brian and Vanessa are engaged. Did you even think about the company or Vanessa's feelings?"

Ethan's lips curled into a sardonic smile, his voice raspy and tinged with drunkenness, "Did Brian consider any of that when he had Claire bullied?"

"What are you talking about?"

Ethan let out a cold laugh and struggled to his feet.

"Brian orchestrated things so that inmates in prison would beat Claire, slap her, force her to kneel, make her drink toilet water, and even stab her with needles... Do you know why Claire limps? Her leg was broken."

As Ethan recounted each atrocity, Nathan and Adah's eyes widened in shock.

"That can't be true."

Ethan tapped a few times on his phone, and a moment later, Nathan and Adah's phones buzzed.

"See for yourself. Quinn found these records."
