Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 91

Vivienne Vance looked at her in confusion. "Willow, what are you looking at?"

Willow snapped back to reality and slowly shook her head.

Vivienne quickly pushed her toward the composition room. "The competition is about to start. Go get a feel for the space so you aren't a bundle of nerves later."

Willow nodded without overthinking it. After all, whether that man was Lucian Jagger or not had little to do with her.

The moment she had made her identity clear, whatever connection existed between them was severed.

Having rationalized it, Willow turned and walked into the composition room, completely oblivious to the intense gaze locked onto her from the corner.

Five minutes later, the live broadcast began.

The producers announced a fixed theme: Family.

The moment the prompt dropped, most contestants froze, momentarily stumped on where to begin.

Tessa Thorne's eyes, however, lit up. To suck up to the Shaw family, she had practiced plenty of family-themed piano pieces. This fell right into her lap!

She quickly lowered her head and dove into composing.

Viewers in the live stream immediately began to marvel: [She truly lives up to being Caspian Skye's pupil. Her talent is off the charts! While everyone else is still stressing out, she's already composing!]

[Am I the only one who remembers that when Tessa tried to become Vivienne Vance's apprentice, she stole Willow's piece? How is anyone still praising a serial plagiarist?]

[What do you know? That was clearly a trap Willow set to frame Tessa. If Willow is so talented, why hasn't she even started writing yet?]

[Willow's new track just hit number one on the charts. Calling her untalented is a bit ridiculous, don't you think?]

[Who knows if she just bought her way up the charts...]

Leo Shaw watched the shifting narrative in the comment section with satisfaction. The paid trolls he hired were doing their job well; with just a few words, they had salvaged much of Tessa's image.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the evidence proving Willow bullied Tessa and was keeping a sugar baby to leak online. Then, he could completely restore Tessa's reputation!

When that happened, Willow would be the one facing the internet's wrath.

Leo's fingers twitched slightly. He subconsciously reasoned that once Willow had nowhere left to turn, she would naturally crawl back to the Shaw family and revert to the obedient girl she used to be.

If not for that, he wouldn't have personally stepped in to clean up such a massive mess for Tessa!

For three consecutive hours, Willow didn't write a single note.
