Where Petals of Vengeance Bloom novel Chapter 7

"If you don't have anything better to do, why don't you read more? Vanessa scored tenth in the entire school for her first high school exam. What about you?"

He had already arranged for fifty thousand dollars to be deposited into her account each month, yet she had the audacity to demand five million.

Vanessa never asked for that much money, so who did she think she was?

Tears welled up in Claire's eyes, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.

He felt a wave of irritation, losing even the mood to read his financial newspaper.

How could he resist the sweet charm of his little sister? Instantly, he forgot about the discomfort Claire had caused. Pinching Vanessa’s cheek affectionately, he asked, "What does Vanessa want as a reward?"

"I've had my eye on a purse that costs a thousand dollars. Can you get it for me?"

"Of course, as long as Vanessa likes it. Even if it costs ten thousand, I'll get it for you."

Feeling utterly wronged, Claire turned and ran out.

Nathan and Adah sighed in unison.

"If only Claire were half as sensible as Vanessa."
