Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 385

Dominic's expression drastically changed, his breathing rattling out of his chest like a broken bellows.

No wonder everything had gone so smoothly! When he bought the illicit serum, the seller had sworn up and down that absolutely no one would ever find out!

It turned out the entire thing had been a trap set by Lucian!

But before making the transaction, he had thoroughly investigated the supply chain and found absolutely no trace of Lucian's involvement!

At that moment, an absurd thought crept into Dominic's mind.

Could it be... had Lucian suspected him from the very beginning?

No, that was impossible!

What kind of son suspected his own father?

From the day he was born, Lucian was supposed to be his subordinate, his loyal extension!

With that reassuring thought, Dominic's expression smoothed out, his eyes brimming with mockery. "Lucian, you've really grown a spine, haven't you? Daring to speak to me like this over a woman?"

Lucian stared back at him impassively, completely uninterested in putting on a show of familial affection.

Seeing his utter indifference, Dominic clenched his fists in fury, barely maintaining a façade of calm. "Lucian, stop trying to sling mud at me. I had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. If you want to accuse me, show me the proof!"

Hearing this, Lucian let out a mocking smirk, his tone startlingly light. "I don't need proof. I've already informed Grandma about the situation. If you have anything to say, you can explain it to her when you get back."

As those words landed, Dominic's pupils constricted violently.

Before he could even force a word out, Finnegan Cross smiled brightly and held up a phone. A video call was active on the screen, and sitting formally on the other end was none other than Madam Margaret!

Dominic's mind went entirely blank. For a agonizing second, he had no idea how to react, until Madam Margaret's frigid voice cut through the silence. "Mr. Cross, bring him back to me!"
