Chapter 1277 She Was Taken Away

Helen watched as Tessa choked down the concoction, then signaled her bodyguards to release her.

Tessa felt excruciating pain-her throat burned, her entire body ached. She coughed up blood.

Helen remembered Tessa's heart condition and wondered if she'd even survive to leave this place. As she exited the room, Tessa's screams echoed behind her.

"Selena! I'll kill you! If I get out of here, I swear I'll kill you!" Tessa shrieked hysterically, spitting more blood.

Helen raised an eyebrow and followed him to the main hall.
