Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 358

His classmates saw how coldly he’d turned on them, and panic set in. After all, the CEO of Foster & Co. was not someone they could afford to cross.

“This has nothing to do with us! Asher, you’re the one who told us to go to Suite 101,” one of them protested.

“Bullshit! I told you to go to 107. You went to the wrong room, so don’t blame me for your screw-up!” Asher snapped back.

“Don’t lie! You were pretending to have Mr. Foster’s backing to impress people.”

Sean had no patience for their squabbling. He cut in, voice icy. “You’re Asher, the sales manager? Consider yourself fired.”

Asher’s eyes went wide with shock.

“Mr. Foster, please, I didn’t mean to, just give me one more chance. I’m begging you!”

“Give you a chance?” Sean’s gaze was razor-sharp. “Did any of you give my fiancée a chance to explain herself?”

At that, everyone’s faces flushed with shame.

Sean turned to Jeffry Moore, who was standing behind him. “Send out a notice. Any company that does business with Foster & Co.—if they hire Asher, they’re choosing to be my enemy. Make sure everyone understands.”

Asher’s knees nearly buckled. He knew he was finished.

Sean then turned to the manager of the Grandeur Hotel. “Since they love cake so much, let’s make sure they get their fill—order a five-tier cake for each of them, every day, for a month. No one leaves until the cake is finished.”

With that, he swept Claire up in his arms and strode out of the suite, leaving the others trembling in terror.

Cake might be delicious, but being forced to eat a five-tier cake every day for a month? That was practically a death sentence. Worse, cake was notorious for packing on the pounds. None of them dared imagine what they’d look like after this ordeal.

Sean had just reached the front entrance of the hotel with Claire in his arms when Liam and Mandy Shaw appeared.

Mandy’s heart lurched when she saw Claire’s disheveled state. “What happened to Claire?”

May, eyes red from crying, quickly filled her in on everything that had happened in the suite.

Mandy’s fists clenched tight.

Was Claire some kind of magnet for jerks? Why did trouble always find her?

Mr. Foster’s punishment had been far too lenient.

Mandy’s gaze turned steely. These people needed to be taught a lesson they’d never forget—one only she could deliver.
