Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 519

She’d really done it—become the ultimate fan. Not only had Mandy managed to get into the same university as Claire, she’d even joined Claire’s research group, and now, by some miracle, she was a guest at Claire’s wedding.

To Mandy, Claire was nothing short of a guiding star.

Before Claire came into her life, Mandy had been just an unremarkable girl, drifting through the days without much direction. But the moment she first saw Claire on TV, everything changed; it was as if something inside her had suddenly clicked into place.

The fog that had clouded her future simply vanished, revealing a path that was clear and bright.

Her eyes curved with joy as she smiled. “Congratulations, Claire. Wishing you all the happiness in the world.”

Claire reached out and gently stroked Mandy’s cheek.

How wonderful, she thought. In this lifetime, Mandy’s life was peaceful; she’d never again be hurt because of Claire, never be forced into tragedy because of her.

“Mandy, I’m going to toss the bouquet to you later. Promise me you’ll catch it.”

She wanted to pass her own happiness on to Mandy.

In another life, Mandy had protected her without hesitation. In this one, she would move heaven and earth to protect Mandy in return.

“Okay.” Mandy nodded, maybe a little too hard. For some reason, as she looked at Claire in her radiant white dress, so full of joy, Mandy felt tears prick at her eyes—a release, and a strange sense of relief.

Daisy pouted from the side. “Claire, you’re playing favorites! I’m still single, you know. Why aren’t you tossing the bouquet my way?”

Claire just smiled, saying nothing.

May and Mandy held a place in her heart that ran deeper than family.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the bride and groom!” The ceremony host’s voice echoed through the hall as the grand doors slowly swung open.

In front of a crowd of high society’s finest, Claire and Sean exchanged vows—promising forever.

They traded rings, embraced, and sealed it all with a kiss.

This time, everything was perfect. Everything had fallen into place.

Liam sat at his table, but his gaze never strayed from Mandy.
