Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 55

At that moment, Elias's mind went blank. He looked down at the contract in a daze. Willow's name was signed neatly on it, the strokes crisp and decisive, as if there hadn't been a moment of hesitation.

Why did this happen? Willow had begged for this job back then. How could she just throw it away so easily?

Xavier was also somewhat at a loss. Wasn't Willow putting all this effort into saving Asher just to appease them? He had clearly offered her a way out. Why wasn't she taking it?

Willow didn't care what they were thinking. She spoke with a mocking tone, "Elias, I've resigned from The Landon Group. Please don't come looking for me ever again."

Elias stared at her in disbelief, unsure of how to react.

Willow calmly looked at Xavier. "And you. I've already given you the Severance Agreement. I've paid back what I owed you. From now on, don't come looking for me, or I'll sue you directly. Xavier, you should know that glass of milk wasn't clean, right? What a coincidence, I have the toxicology report. You know the consequences."

After delivering this final blow, she turned on her heel and walked away without sparing them another glance, showing no signs of lingering attachment.

Xavier stood rooted to the spot, his ears ringing. Her retreating figure was so resolute, so resolute that she felt like a stranger.

Could she really abandon this family? Could she really leave them behind?

In the past, he would have denied it without hesitation. But now, he felt guilty.

"Willow!" Tessa panicked completely when she saw her leaving. "You're really not going to delete the post, are you? Will you only be satisfied if you force me to die?"

Willow laughed. "I only exposed what you did to the public. Why can't you handle it? Also, Tessa, stop threatening me with your life. Your life is completely worthless to me. If you really want to die, the rooftop is right ahead. I won't walk you out."

Tessa's face turned dead pale. She looked at Elias and Xavier as if pleading for help, but both men were frozen in place, paying her no attention.
