Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 388

Her entire life was completely ruined!

Panic finally seized Scarlett by the throat. She instinctively looked at Daphne, but The Princess kept her head down, clearly unwilling to offer a single word of defense on her behalf.

Scarlett immediately scrambled on her knees toward Willow, dropping to the floor in desperate supplication. "Miss Shaw, I truly know I was wrong. Please, I beg you, speak to the King for me! Ask him to revoke the order! Otherwise, my life is completely over!"

Willow looked at her with mild amusement. "You really have some nerve."

A flash of vicious desperation crossed Scarlett's eyes. She raised her hand and violently slapped herself across the face!

Her cheek instantly flared red.

Sobbing hysterically, she pleaded, "Miss Shaw, I am begging you to help me! I was just momentarily confused. I never actually wanted to hurt you! And besides, you know I wasn't the one who poisoned that needle!!"

Willow stared at her calmly, then couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

Yes, Scarlett wasn't the one who poisoned the needle.

But did that change anything?

If Willow hadn't fought back the very first time Scarlett tried to bully her, did anyone actually believe Scarlett wouldn't have escalated her cruelty?

It started with a silver needle aimed directly at Willow's face, intending to disfigure her. What would have come next? A red-hot branding iron? Acid?

Willow wasn't stupid, and she certainly wasn't a bleeding heart.

She was absolutely not the type of person to suffer malicious abuse one second and happily offer forgiveness the next.

She chuckled dryly. "Scarlett, if you were truly remorseful, you would have apologized long before this. You deliberately waited until this exact moment because you're terrified of the punishment. You can't handle the consequences, so now you suddenly remember how to apologize."

Scarlett's face twisted into an ugly mask of panic, her absolute worst intentions brutally exposed. Her chest tightened, and a dizzying spell washed over her brain.
