Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 147

Xavier wanted to destroy Willow?

The words struck him like a deafening bell, sending tremors through his very soul and threatening to crush his spirit entirely.

The sheer absurdity of it all made Asher's heart hammer violently against his ribs, his temples pulsing with pressure.

No matter what lines Willow had crossed, she was still Xavier's biological sister!

How could Xavier treat her like a sworn enemy?

Unable to listen any longer, he pushed open the door to Tessa's room.

Seeing Asher, a flicker of surprise crossed Xavier's face. "Asher? Why are you here? Did you hear about Tessa's accident? Don't worry, it's nothing too serious. Just a sprained ankle, not a full fracture."

Asher paused for a moment before asking, "Xavier, do you really think Willow did this?"

Disgust washed over Xavier's face. "Who else could it be? Let me tell you, Willow changed a long time ago. She's selfish and completely out of control! Not only did she conspire with outsiders to attack Mom and Dad's company, but she even forced me to beg her for mercy! It's perfectly in character for her to pull a stunt like this!"

Asher let out a sudden, hollow laugh. "Xavier, has it ever occurred to you that you might be the problem? You all pushed her too far, and she couldn't take it anymore, so she finally fought back!"

Xavier looked up in disbelief. "I pushed her too far? Isn't it perfectly normal for an older sister to accommodate her younger sister? And even if Tessa upset her, it's just because she's young and naive. Why did she have to be so vicious?! Tessa's leg was almost broken!"

At that moment, an eerie calm settled over Asher's features. He said softly, "Willow isn't Tessa's sister, and from now on, I am no longer Tessa's brother."

With those words, he ignored Xavier and Elias's reactions, turning his wheelchair around and leaving without another backward glance.

In that instant, Asher finally understood why Willow had walked away so decisively.
