Chapter 248 One thing Adah got right-she was indeed seeking revenge.
That's why she chose to conceal the truth that Vanessa was the biological daughter of Sophia and Garnett Brown. Adah needed to experience the agony of cherishing her husband's mistress's daughter while discarding her own flesh and blood like trash.
Adah shouldn't have the satisfaction of knowing Nathan had been manipulated by Sophia and Garnett Brown. In Claire's mind, those who hurt her deserved nothing but to wallow in their misery.
Adah was on the brink of collapse from her torment. Betrayed by her husband, she had lost a kidney. Her father had been his victim, her daughter turned into an orphan, then thrown into prison to suffer, even forced to give a kidney to her husband's illegitimate child.

It felt as if an invisible hand had ripped her heart into shreds, each piece dripping with blood.
Watching Adah in her agony, Claire felt a moment of satisfaction, but it vanished quickly, replaced by deep sorrow.
Sorrow for having such a foolish mother.
A woman of wealth and privilege, yet blinded by love, ensnared by Nathan's deceit, leading her family to ruin. Had she been born into a regular family, perhaps her life wouldn't have been so tragic.

"Mrs. Linwood, you're not wrong. I was the fool for ever trusting you. But rest assured, I see through your façade now and won't fall for it again." "Don't worry, I'd rather die alone than cback to you. I've paid back the debt of givinglife, and from now on, we're done." With that, she yanked her hand away and strode towards the door.
"Don't-Claire, don't go-giveone more chance-" Ignoring her injuries, Adah desperately tried to reach Claire, a voice inside screaming that if Claire left now, they'd never reconcile.

She struggled with all her might, falling with a heavy thed onto the floor. But she
felt no pain, only a desperate hope that Claire might turn, show a flicker el of compassion. But there was nothing.
Claire walked on, deaf to the cries. Even if she heard, she wouldn't relent.
As she disappeared through the door, Adah's eyes widened intercor and despair "Don't go 11 "Cback-Claire, please, I'm begging you—"
