The venom in Tessa's eyes didn't wane in the slightest. Since Willow refused to let her off the hook, they could both go to hell together!
Even if she was going down, she was going to tear a piece of flesh off Willow on her way!
Xavier glared viciously at Tessa and roared through gritted teeth, "Shut up!"
Tessa stubbornly refused, tilting her head up to glare defiantly back at him. "Am I wrong? Willow calls me a bad person, but how is she any better?!"
The veins in Xavier's forehead pulsed as he panted heavily from sheer fury.
Lucian watched them calmly before letting out a sudden chuckle. "Who says Willow doesn't have one?"
His words struck like lightning, instantly exploding in Tessa's ears. Dazed, she looked up at Lucian, only to see him pull a small booklet from his pocket. Right there on the brown cover, stamped in bold letters, were the words—Firearms License!
Tessa's pupils shrank violently. Before she could utter a word, the booklet was flipped open. Though they were too far away to read the fine print, Willow's photo was unmistakably clear inside!
How was that possible?!
Tessa's mind reeled, her eyes wide with utter disbelief. After leaving the Shaw family, Willow was just an ordinary citizen with no power or influence. Even if she had close ties with the heir of the Lockwood family, there was no way she could secure a firearms license this quickly!
Besides, the Lockwood family didn't even dabble in the arms industry; where would they get one for her?
Looking at the entire globe, only the Jagger Family wielded that kind of power.
But aside from Sterling Jagger, who else did Willow know from that family?
True, at that confession banquet, Sterling had been fighting over Willow with another member of the Jagger family. But that person had never shown their face, keeping an impossibly low profile. Tessa assumed he was just some unimportant illegitimate son.
So how on earth did she get a gun license?!
There was no way the toy boy standing next to her had arranged it, right?!
What a joke! He was just some random guy she had picked up off the street to humiliate Willow with. He couldn't possibly have that kind of influence!
Unless... could he be a member of the Jagger family too?!
