Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 242

Having shadowed Heir Foster for years, he was well-acquainted with his ruthless methods, yet this was the first time he'd seen him so invested in a woman.

In the process of digging deeper, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Claire's plight.

He had witnessed the darkness of human nature before.

But a family like the Linwoods, eager to exploit their own child to the point of consuming her entirely, was beyond anything he'd encountered.

As the saying goes, "Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs," yet the Linwoods were worse than beasts.

As the two hesitated, the door to the sitting room creaked open.

A flicker of surprise crossed Claire's face, but when her eyes landed on Jeffry, her pupils narrowed sharply.

She quickly turned to the dossier in Sean's hands.

With her sharp intellect, she instantly realized that Jeffry's seven-day disappearance had yielded answers to every mystery.

"Did you find out?" Claire's voice was slightly hoarse.

Sean gave a slight nod, "It's all here. Do you... want to look?"

From his expression, Claire guessed that the contents of the dossier might be even more horrifying than she imagined.

Her hands unconsciously clenched the edge of her jacket, her heart pounding wildly in her chest.

Though she had always tried to remain strong, the terror of the impending truth washed over her like a tidal wave.

"I..." Claire opened her mouth, but her voice seemed caught in her throat.

She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, "I want to know."

Her tone held a slight tremor, yet was laced with undeniable determination.

Sean hesitated but reluctantly handed the dossier to Claire.

As she reached out to take it, the papers felt as heavy as a mountain.

She opened the first page, and as her eyes scanned the words, her face turned ghostly pale.
