My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 347

"You were just betrayed by Matthew and haven't yet recovered from the breakup. How could you possibly with him." Samuel said, his finger trembling as he pointed at Orion. "Did he take advantage of you?"

"No," Xanthea shook her head. "Actually, I stopped liking Matthew a long time ago."

"What?"

Samuel was stunned.

Given the situation, Xanthea decided there was no point in hiding the truth anymore and confessed everything.

"Samuel, I actually discovered a while ago that Matthew were involved with each other. I just didn't have any evidence and feared no one would believe me if I spoke out without proof.

"Recently, I went on a trip to Willowdale with Matthew and deliberately entered the entertainment industry to find evidence to get revenge on them.

But Miranda seemed to have noticed and tampered with my motorcycle, almost causing me to have an accident during an audition at Realm of Illusions. It was Orion who had been investigating this and found the video from the proposal ceremony. During this time, I gradually fell for him. He's my boyfriend now!"

As her explanation, Samuel was utterly shocked. As he processed this, various scenes flashed through his mind.

No wonder Xan insisted on attending that night and identified a priceless gem, and then gave it to Orion for free.

No wonder Xan never visited Miranda in the hospital, despite previously being inseparable from her.

No wonder he felt Xan had been distant and cold towards Matthew lately, which was a complete turnaround from before.

No wonder Orion showed up at the Iris Garden Venue, calmly watching the proposal without a trace of sadness.

No wonder Xan wore Orion's clothes to Matthew's proposal ceremony!

It all made perfect sense now!

Samuel stared at her, her flushed face, her curly hair a mess, her delicate lips swollen from being kissed. It felt like seeing a prized rose trampled by a careless foot, leaving him both heartbroken and furious!

"You're being foolish, Xan!

Xanthea pursed her lips in a smile. She hadn't realized before how adept Orion was at taking advantage of the situation. Tonight he called himself her "hubby" and now addressed Samuel directly—it seemed he was really eager.

"He called you 'Samuel.'"

"Shut up!" Samuel glared at Orion. "Who do you think you are calling Samuel? I have nothing to do with you!"

Orion, still recovering from their passionate moment, replied in a voice that was slightly hoarse, "I can."

"You can what?"

"I can be good enough for Xannie."

Xannie? He had a special nickname for her? The way he said it, with such affection, clearly showed he was a pro at romance. He must have charmed Xan so much that she secretly got together with him without informing the family!

Samuel laughed sarcastically, "You think you can be enough because you've said so? Matthew said no less than you did."
