Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 311

The moment those words left her mouth, a dead silence fell over the scene.

Xavier and Julian's expressions instantly turned sharp, staring at Tessa in sheer disbelief!

Julian found it especially absurd. Even if Willow did have a gun, no one here was hurt!

For Tessa to deliberately bring this up, just how venomous was her heart?!

In that moment, the scene playing out before him suddenly overlapped with a memory from the past.

At the time, Julian had been going through his tenure review.

He had been a prodigy since childhood, skipping grades all the way through university, where he displayed a staggering talent in physics. He easily secured a position at his alma mater, becoming a professor.

However, because he was so young and lacked seniority, the requirements for his tenure review were incredibly strict.

Fortunately, Julian had met every single one of them.

But just one day before the final review, disaster struck. All of his carefully prepared documents were ruined by a spilled glass of milk.

There was no time to redo the process, meaning his chance at tenure that year went completely up in smoke.

Julian was furious to the point of madness. That night, Tessa had slipped into his room to console him, saying in the most innocent voice imaginable, "Julian, please don't be mad at Willow. She just wanted you to drink a glass of milk and get a good night's sleep..."

Julian had stared at her in shock, asking, "What did you say? It was Willow?"

Tessa had clamped her hands over her mouth, as if she had made a terrible slip of the tongue, and frantically shook her head. "No, no, I misspoke. Julian, please just pretend you never heard that, okay?"

The more she acted like that, the more convinced Julian was that Willow was the culprit.

Without a second thought, he had kicked Willow's bedroom door open, dragged her into the study, and forced her to stand in the corner, demanding to know if she was trying to ruin him!

Even now, Julian could still remember Willow's expression—so helpless and slightly confused.
