Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 400

Who's to say such a toxic environment wouldn't permanently ruin a musician's creative spirit?

And now that Ethan realized his backups were useless, he suddenly wanted her to audition?

What a joke.

Was she supposed to just roll over and do whatever he commanded?

Ethan wanted to brush the whole incident off without paying a single price? Dream on.

Willow didn't give him a second thought, striding out without a backward glance.

Caspian knew Willow actually had important business to attend to, but he had zero intention of explaining that to Ethan.

He was a gentle guy, but he wasn't an idiot. Ethan had insulted Willow so viciously—was Caspian really supposed to side with the bully?

As if.

If Vivienne found out, she would literally tear him apart.

Caspian took a slow, deliberate sip of his tea. Meeting Ethan's desperate gaze, he simply offered a polite smile. "My apologies. I'm primarily here as a composer. My piano skills aren't quite up to par, so I'll pass on the audition."

Ethan's face turned the color of pitch. Kate had thrown a tantrum and walked out on the spot.

Even if he swallowed his pride and chased after her, she wouldn't come back.

Besides, Ethan refused to work with someone like Kate, who played without an ounce of emotional depth!

But with both Willow and Caspian refusing to play, was he seriously supposed to use Tessa?!

Was this a nightmare?!

He would literally rather die!

Watching Ethan stubbornly refuse to call her name, Tessa was grinding her teeth so hard they felt like they might shatter.

What was so damn special about Willow?!

Why was everyone constantly fighting over her?!

...

After leaving the concert hall, Willow headed straight to the palace.

Lucian was tied up with family business and couldn't make it, but he had dispatched his entire elite legal team in his place.

When the King saw the sheer scale of the entourage, a violent twitch rippled at the corner of his mouth.

Back when Lucian was officially engaged to Daphne, he had never once shown her this kind of obsessive devotion.
