My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 192

“Chairman Lockwood?”

“Horizon Ventures Ltd. is a subsidiary of Twin Towers, so it must be Orion, the chairman of the Lockwood Group, who let you personally come to deliver a gift?”

As his words fell, the whole room gasped in surprise. At the mention of the name “Orion”, people from all around the banquet hall began to gather, buzzing with curiosity.

Since when did the Nightshade family business get so big that even the Lockwood Group got involved, making none other than Chairman Lockwood himself to prepare a gift for the Nightshade family’s second son’s birthday?

Christopher, seeing the situation, exchanged a surprised look with Susanna.

Although their company was gradually getting involved in the e-commerce industry, they’d never worked with the Lockwood Group, let alone cultivated a close relationship with Mr. Lockwood. So why would he send someone to deliver a gift?

Their eyes turned towards Samuel, who shook his head in confusion, “I don’t even know Mr. Lockwood.”

The people around table was wrapped in confusion, all eyes eventually turning to Xanthea.

“Ahem.”

Xanthea, who was sipping her soup, choked when she heard the name “Orion”, and looked up to see her entire family staring at her, as if expecting some explanation.

“Why are you all looking at me?”

The Nightshade family had only briefly interacted with Mr. Lockwood twice. Once when Mr. Lockwood attended Xan’s coming-of-age party, and another time when Xan helped him acquire a rare purple jade at the gem betting event.

Now that Mr. Lockwood had sent a gift, they naturally thought it had something to do with her.

“Xan, do you know why Mr. Lockwood would send a gift?”

Xanthea shook her head; she had no idea. She’d just spoken to Orion on the phone, and he hadn’t mentioned anything.

“Could it be because you helped him at the gem betting event?”
