Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 69

In that exact moment, an overwhelming wave of humiliation washed over Xavier, making his face burn hot with shame!

Had Willow just been standing there watching him get thoroughly degraded?

He was her own flesh and blood!

Willow admired the look on his face. She suddenly remembered how, in her past life, when she was ordered to give up her own wedding, she had begged Xavier with an incredibly subservient attitude.

But what had Xavier done back then?

He had stared at her with absolute apathy and said, "Willow, why are you always fighting over everything? Giving up a wedding isn't going to kill you. Why are you being so dramatic?"

Willow let out an abrupt laugh. Memories of her past life intertwined with the present, the images shattering and reassembling until they all locked onto Xavier's face.

She smirked, enunciating each word clearly. "Xavier, why are you being so dramatic? It's just a project. Losing it isn't going to kill you, is it?"

Xavier stared at her in disbelief. "Willow! You're a member of the Shaw family. How could you say something like that?"

Look at that. When Xavier said those very words, he thought it was perfectly justified. But the moment the tables were turned, he couldn't handle it.

Willow let out a cynical laugh. "You're mistaken. That's your business. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. You were even willing to hand over the inheritance our mother left me to use as Tessa's dowry. Frankly, you might as well change your last name to Thorne."

Those words sent the blood rushing to Xavier's head, making him dizzy with rage. Before he could even open his mouth to argue, Willow sneered maliciously, "Xavier, if you want me to treat the Shaw family's assets as my own, it's very simple. Transfer ten percent of the shares to me, and I'll help you out. Deal?"

Xavier's face turned frighteningly cold. At that moment, he felt like a total fool. All the guilt he had felt toward Willow over the past few days instantly morphed into blazing fury. How ridiculous that he had been agonizing over his past actions, while Willow had just become infinitely greedier than before!
