Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 180

She wanted to become Silas Yale's apprentice.

After all, that was the mentor Tessa had always dreamed of securing!

Willow couldn't wait to see the look on Tessa's face. It was bound to be highly entertaining.

Sometimes, simply thinking of the devil summons them.

Willow gathered her study materials and headed to the checkout counter. The second she stepped outside, she ran smack into Tessa.

Tessa shot Willow a glare. When her gaze landed on the study materials in Willow's hands, a sneer flashed in her eyes. "Willow, don't tell me you're still dreaming of going back to school? I suggest you stop being delusional!"

Willow gave her a lazy once-over. She didn't know what had happened recently, but Tessa looked utterly haggard, as if she had aged five years overnight.

That dismissive glance sent Tessa over the edge. She gritted her teeth and spat, "Don't think your little act will make Asher like you again! Willow, I'm a medical major too, and I'll soon become Mr. Yale's apprentice. When that happens, I'll be the one to cure Asher, and you'll never set foot in the Shaw family again!"

Willow was genuinely surprised by the declaration. "You? Wanting to become Mr. Yale's apprentice? Tessa, I truly admire your capacity for delusion."

Mr. Yale was Silas Yale.

The very man Dr. Adelina Sterling was planning to introduce Willow to.

In her past life, Tessa had exhausted every single dirty trick in the book and still failed to secure the apprenticeship. Where on earth was she getting the audacity to mouth off to Willow about it now?

Willow genuinely had to applaud her thick skin.

Flushed red with humiliation from the mockery, Tessa clenched her jaw so tightly it looked like her teeth might shatter. Her voice squeezed out of her throat. "Willow, stop looking down on people! I am officially Mrs. Landon! The Landon family will absolutely support me!"

"Unlike you!" Tessa looked her up and down with sheer contempt. "Someone like you will never even get to lay eyes on Mr. Yale!"

Willow smiled. Well, now she just had to become Mr. Yale's apprentice!
