Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 342

“If Claire ever finds out, won’t she regret it for the rest of her life?”

“Oh, absolutely. With her record, she doesn’t even deserve to shine the star quarterback’s shoes. By the way, Claire isn’t in the group chat, so I bet she has no idea about the reunion. Should we invite her to come along? Just imagine her face when she sees how successful he is now.”

“Yes, yes, yes! I can’t wait to see her eat her heart out tomorrow!”

The two girls burst into unrestrained laughter, openly mocking Claire.

Every word landed squarely in Mandy and Liam’s ears.

Mandy’s fists clenched tight, and she had half a mind to storm over and give those gossiping bimbos a taste of their own medicine.

But Liam held her back, his grip unyielding.

She struggled, but he wouldn’t let go.

It wasn’t until the two girls sauntered away that Mandy could no longer hold back her anger. “Liam, let go of me. Now.”

He still didn’t release her, instead inhaling the fresh scent of her hair, completely addicted.

Annoyed, Mandy jabbed her knee sharply into his groin.

“Ah!” Liam doubled over with a muffled groan, his face contorting in pain.

“Mandy, are you trying to kill your own boyfriend?”

She didn’t bother replying. She yanked open the bathroom stall door and stormed out, shouting, “Hey! You two trash-talking idiots—stop right there! I swear I’ll make you regret every word.”

Liam just stared after her. What a crazy woman.

But by the time Mandy burst out of the restroom, the two girls were nowhere to be seen.

Still fuming, she marched purposefully toward the restaurant.

When she arrived, she spotted the overdressed pair standing in front of Claire, saying something with fake smiles plastered on their faces.

Mandy wanted nothing more than to walk right up and slap both of them, but with Claire and her mom watching, she still had to play the dutiful daughter.

So she forced herself to breathe, straightened her clothes, and strode toward Claire.

Before she could reach them, the two women spun on their heels and left.

“Claire, what did those two say to you?”
