Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 200

Willow fell silent for two seconds. "Actually, there is something."

"When Tessa married Elias, she took the dowry my mother left me. I need them to return it. Plus, my parents drafted a contract before they died. I own ten percent of the shares in the Shaw Group."

Even though Willow didn't want anything to do with the Shaw Group anymore, it was what her parents had left her. She could let it sit untouched, but she would never give it to anyone else.

Moreover, it would be a pity to let her parents' business be ruined by Xavier.

It would be better to take this opportunity to slowly chip away at it, gradually turning the Shaw Group into her own property.

As for Xavier, such a despicable man didn't deserve to be her parents' son at all.

Lucian carefully memorized her words, as if what she said was a royal decree.

Willow found it oddly endearing. She smiled and asked him, "Don't you think I'm greedy? Wanting this and that."

Lucian chuckled. "Even if you wanted their lives, I'd still think they owed it to you."

His blatant favoritism made her narrow her eyes, unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips.

She said, "Exactly! They owe me!"

Lucian let out a low laugh, then leaned over to help her unbuckle her seatbelt.

They had checked out quite a few medical properties along the way, but Lucian hadn't been particularly satisfied with any of them. Seeing that it was getting late, he brought Willow back.

Before coming back, the two had dinner together.

It was a French meal. The food was alright, but it won points for romance.

Lucian walked her home, stopping sensibly at the door, keeping a polite distance.

Willow subconsciously glanced at him. Lucian's eyes were downcast, deep in thought, but the aura of loneliness surrounding him was practically overflowing.

As if sensing Willow's gaze, he looked up and forced a stiff smile. "Go on inside. I'll leave once the door closes."
