My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 447

"Boss, you alright?"

His shock was palpable, yet no matter what was said, there was no response.

Three days later, Orion still hadn't come to the company, and Cedric started to worry. Unable to hold back himself any longer, he went to Xanthea Haven Estate to find him.

Pushing open the door, the dimly lit room was filled with a pungent smell of alcohol. Broken bottles and cans scattered all over the floor, nearly burying the desolate man in the corner.

Orion had lost all his usual clarity and elegance, now lying in the corner in utter despair. He seemed like a completely different person; his vacant eyes couldn't even see Cedric. He kept mechanically murmuring a name, "Xannie, Xannie, Xannie."

Cedric’s heart broke seeing him like this.

Servant: "Cedric, please talk to the young master. He hasn't eaten anything for three days and has been drinking continuously. If this continues, even the strongest constitution will be ruined."

Cedric wanted to persuade him, but he knew it was futile unless Ms. Nightshade herself.

But at the coming-of-age ceremony, Ms. Nightshade seemed not to recognize the boss. How could she possibly believe that a stranger harbored such deep feelings for her?

Regardless, he decided to give it a try and went to find Xanthea, doing his utmost to get her to come and persuade the boss.

Unexpectedly, his didn't see Ms. Nightshade but discovered that her fiancé, Matthew, in a clandestine embrace with her stepsister, Miranda.

It was a stroke of luck!

He was overjoyed and recorded the video, bringing it to Orion.

"Boss, Matthew has betrayed Ms. Nightshade, and with her closest kin no less!"

"If Ms. Nightshade finds out, she's bound to break up with him!"

"And if she does, you'll have your chance!"

"Thank me?" She smirked. "What is it?"

"I heard you're getting engaged to Matthew?"

"You're always so well-informed about me."

"I'm not here to argue. I just want to tell you that Matthew,"

Isabella paused, considering their ten-year relationship with Matthew and Xanthea's deep trust in Miranda as a real sister. If she were to find out the truth suddenly, she might not be able to handle it. So, she decided to probe a bit first.

"Xanthea, have you ever thought about what you'd do if Matthew cheated on you? And with someone closest to you?"

"What?" Xanthea frowned. "Matt cheating on me? And with someone closest to me?"

"Yes, what if that person was Miranda?"
