Chapter 125 Xanthea raised an eyebrow indifferently, "Oh, and then what?" Why was Orion telling her all this? She wasn't his assistant.

"If you're hungry, you could..." He glanced at Leonard, then turned to Cedric, “ask Cedric to prepare dinner early. Let him know if you need anything." Leonard, caught by the swift shift of gaze, widened his eyes in astonishment. No way, was Orion actually starting to guard against him? Well, years of brotherhood lost to a single embrace with his darling! "I'm not very hungry, I can wait a couple of hours." Xanthea thought, "Did I eat too messily the last couple of times we dined together? Did he think I was always ready to chow down? Please, I just had a particular fondness for his cooking skills!" Her casual reply hit Orion's ears but painted an entirely different picture.

Orion's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a smile emerging, "You want to wait to eat with me?" Xanthea was shocked.

How did he derive that meaning? She just wanted to say she wasn't always thinking about food! Meanwhile, Queenie Marlowe looked expectantly at Orion, only to see his gaze not linger on her but burn intensely towards the woman next to him.

That was when Queenie noticed the stunningly beautiful woman beside him, enchanting like a siren, her every smile and gesture seemingly flirtatious.

Why else would Orion talk so tenderly to this woman, his eyes so focused, even smiling? Queenie had known Orion for so long and had never seen him smile, especially not at a woman! "Ori, who is she?" Queenie pouted, her eyes full of hostility towards Xanthea.

Sensing Queenie's mood, Xanthea reiterated to her what she had just told Leonard.

Queenie's eyes, burning with jealousy, shifted to outright scorn, "Oh, a stray you picked up from the streets? No wonder she looks all scruffy! Ori, you better be careful not to be fooled by such women who jump into men's cars so easily. Who knows if it's just her clothes that are dirty, or her body too." Before she could finish, Leonard covered her mouth with his hand, his voice harsh, “Queenie, shut up! Who taught you to talk to guests like that? It's so rude!" "Leonard, what are you doing?" Queenie angrily pushed him away, about to continue her rant, when she met Orion's glare, venomous and terrifying as if he wanted to tear her apart, causing her to step back in fright.

D- "What did you say?" "Orion, don't be mad! Queenie's young and spoiled by her family, she speaks without thinking!"

Leonard, recognizing the severity in e Orion's stormy demeanor, quickly pulled Queenie in front of Xanthea. Chapter 125 "Apologize to Ms. Nightshade right now, and ask for her forgiveness!"

Queenie, coddled and praised all her life, had never been reprimanded so harshly by her cousin before, nor had she been looked at with such frightening eyes by Orion.

It seemed he detested her to the core, all because of this scruffy, sly temptress who had bewitched everyone's hearts! Chapter 126
