My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 349

"Let me out! Let me out!"

"Samuel! Samuel, you bad brother, can you hear me?!"

"Hello? Hello!"

In her bedroom, Xanthea was furious as an enraged little fox whose fur practically standing on end, pounding on the door with all her might.

Sam had locked the door from the outside, smugly pocketing the key, "Xan, I'd save my energy if I were you. You’re lucky to be confined to your room. If you anger Mom, Dad, and Big Brother further, you might just end up in the basement!"

The mention of "basement" sent a shiver down Xanthea's spine.

If her parents were willing to lock her up there, how would they treat Orion?

Would they force him to break up with her and never see her again?

In just a few seconds, she had imagined an entire saga of family feuds, business battles, and tragic love story!

"Samuel, dear Samuel."

"Please let me out, I promise I won't cause any trouble. I just want to hear what Mom and Dad are saying!"

"You just want to speak up for Orion, don't you?" Sam scoffed. "Last time, I believed you and softened my stance, and almost didn't see what a scumbag Matthew was. I'm not making the same mistake again!"

"But what do you plan to do? Take it out on me but let Orion go!"

"What do we plan to do?"

Samuel cracked his knuckles with a menacing smile.

Orion, with his audacity and brazenness, had dared to lure Xan to a lakeside in the dead of night, a flagrant violation of the family's values!

Even as the head of the Lockwood Group, he'd have to face the judgment of the Nightshade family!

Hearing his appraisal, Christopher's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect you to know about coffee so much."

Nowadays, most young people drink fast beverages like cola, rarely appreciating the nuances of coffee, let alone understanding it deeply.

Despite Orion's noble background, he was only two years older than Xan. Yet, he understands coffee, which shows his calm and quality-focused nature, unlike the typically anxious and fickle young people.

Orion: "I just know a little."

"That's not."

Christopher was about to continue but was stopped by Susanna; she prompted him to adjust his expression.

The couple wore complex expressions, still reeling from the new revelations they had just witnessed.

They couldn’t believe Matthew and Miranda had been together all along, that Miranda had planned the audition explosion to harm Xan, and most shockingly, that Xan was with Mr. Lockwood, someone who seemed completely unrelated to their world.
