Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 341

Unable to contain his fury, Silas's eyes went red as he whipped around to face Xavier. "Xavier, are you really going to agree with her?!"

Xavier lowered his eyes, saying nothing, but his silence was a deafening confirmation.

He was siding with Willow.

In that instant, Silas completely lost his mind!

Ever since he had entered the entertainment industry, Xavier had never denied him a single resource.

Partly, Xavier felt guilty that Silas had lost his parents at such a young age, and partly because Silas's rising fame naturally boosted The Shaw Group's brand.

For years, Xavier had given him a blank check.

This was the very first time he had ever said no.

Silas immediately blamed Willow, a deep, ugly resentment boiling in his chest.

She used to be so incredibly obedient, agreeing to his every demand. Why was she suddenly fighting him at every turn?!

Why did she have to make a scene? Why couldn't things just go back to the way they were?

Silas gritted his teeth so hard his jaw ached. Blinded by rage, he spat, "Xavier, do you honestly think sucking up to Willow now will get her to forgive you? That she'll drop the charges and save you from prison? Wake up! She abandoned us a long time ago! She's found a new sugar daddy to back her up!"

The accusation was brutally sharp, painting Willow as nothing more than a gold-digging opportunist.

A mocking smirk flashed across Willow's face. Ironically, Silas wasn't entirely wrong—she really had abandoned them.

Whether she had powerful backers or not, she would never go back to them.

Only a lunatic would willingly return to a family of leeches!

Besides.

Who said she couldn't be her own backer?

Willow's expression remained perfectly cool. She opened her mouth to respond, but Xavier beat her to it. "Silas, have you ever backed Willow up?"

Silas froze, his face flushing a violent crimson, but he couldn't form a single word.

Because he never had.
