Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 75

A loud ringing echoed in Elias's ears, making his head spin with a sickening wave of vertigo.

What was going on? The Jagger family actually pulled the plug on their partnership?!

Was this some kind of sick joke?

The Jagger family had been trying to break into the domestic market for years, and the Landon Group was their hand-picked, premium partner!

How could they burn the bridge just because of Willow?!

Elias couldn't wrap his mind around it.

"Are you sure about this? Is this directly from the Jaggers?"

Hearing the panic in Elias's voice, the assistant replied miserably, "The termination contract was just delivered to the office. It's sitting on your desk, waiting for your signature..."

Elias's vision went dark for a second, his heart hammering wildly against his ribs.

Fueled by absolute disbelief, he completely ignored Tessa, snatched his coat, and bolted out the door.

Elias had banked heavily on this collaboration. The Landon Group had hit a ceiling in the domestic market; to keep growing, they desperately needed overseas expansion.

He had been so confident that no one else could match their corporate infrastructure. They were the perfect fit for the Jaggers. When York had made that threat, Elias had instantly dismissed it as a bluff.

Who could have predicted it would become a reality?!

Watching Elias's frantic exit, Xavier finally grasped the severity of the situation and hurried after him.

Tessa's face went pale. But unlike Elias, she wasn't worried about the company. She was obsessed with the fact that York would go to such extreme lengths for Willow.

She had no idea what leverage York used to convince the Jaggers, but it must have cost him a fortune!

What gave Willow the right?

How could someone so utterly useless command that kind of loyalty from a man like York?

If Willow could pull strings like that, didn't that mean Tessa could too?

After all, she and Elias had only hosted a wedding ceremony; they hadn't legally signed the marriage papers yet!

Once that greedy thought took root, it spread through her mind like a wildfire.
