Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 227

She knew everything.

Willow knew it all.

No wonder she had changed so drastically lately.

A suffocating wave of despair and guilt washed over Xavier. His lips trembled, but no sound came out.

In that moment, he couldn't even fathom why he had been so cruel to Willow!

She was just a young girl.

The wedding had been hers to begin with. Not only had he aggressively stolen it away, but he had also tried to destroy her purity.

It was absolutely sickening.

No wonder she despised him so much!

Xavier's body trembled violently. Every breath felt like inhaling shattered ice, surging relentlessly through his veins until it crystallized into jagged spikes, plunging into his flesh. It froze his body temperature—unable to melt, unable to be extracted.

He was doomed to constantly reflect on his torment in sharp, freezing agony.

He stared at Willow in a daze. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't originally intended to take things that far.

It was Tessa, crying next to his ear, who had whispered: "Brother, what if Willow refuses? She and Elias are so close. If... if Elias ends up hating me because of this, then I really don't want to live anymore..."

At that time, looking at Tessa's tear-streaked face, Xavier's heart had softened completely.

Tessa had muttered to herself: "If only my sister were caught in a scandal with someone else... then Elias would definitely be disappointed in her, and he'd be much more willing to accept me."

Her words were like a window opening in Xavier's mind, inspiring his brilliant idea to drug Willow.

He thought doing so would allow Tessa to rightfully obtain her happiness.
