Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 255

As soon as the words left her mouth, Willow eagerly grabbed Lucian's hand, ready to march right out of the restaurant.

Looking at her slender fingers, a faint smile rippled through Lucian's eyes.

He knew it. Someone as fiercely vengeful as Willow would never actually reconcile with Elias.

Even if they occasionally interacted, she was just teasing a stray dog.

Otherwise, why hadn't she looked at Elias even once in the five minutes since he arrived?

Lucian hooked his fingers around hers, prepared to lead her out.

Seeing this, Elias's gaze instantly darkened. He stood up to block them. "Willow..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his phone started ringing.

He frowned at the screen; it was Arthur Landon calling.

Hesitating for a couple of seconds, Elias finally answered.

The moment the call connected, Arthur's voice boomed through the speaker. "Elias, I don't care where you are right now, get back here immediately! Tessa is threatening suicide at the house because of you. If anything happens to the baby in her stomach, you will face the family's disciplinary punishment!"

Elias's brow twitched, a throbbing pain pulsing at his temples.

Tessa had taken her drama straight to his grandfather?

He let out a bitter laugh. Hadn't she talked a big game just moments ago in the restaurant?

Saying she would disappear without a trace and raise the child on her own? And what was this?

This was her version of disappearing?

Constantly using death to threaten people—wasn't she exhausted?

For the first time, a dark, vicious thought sprouted in Elias's mind: why didn't Tessa just die for real?

If she had never shown up, he and Willow would never have ended up like this!

His heart was filled with pure disgust, but he had no choice but to obey Arthur's orders. "I understand."

Arthur spoke coldly, "If you find her annoying, then clean up the mess! I warned you about switching brides, didn't I? You refused to listen, so you have no one to blame but yourself."
