"Mr. Marlowe, good to see you!" Adjusting his cufflinks, Matthew raised his voice, "I'm Matthew, CEO of Forest Fashion, and Xanthea's fiancé. I apologize for intruding today. It wasn't my intention to disturb. I'm just trying to find Xan.

She hasn't been in touch since she got drunk last night. She didn't answer the phone, and no one's been able to reach her. Knowing she's alone in the city worries me. I wonder if Mr. Marlowe could letsee her?" co this Matthew? So this was Xan's fiancé! Leonard narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze inadvertently wandering to the kitchen before signaling to Louis with a glance.

The butler, understanding his cue, waved at a group of servants to escort Matthew out.

"What're you doing? Let go ofnow!" Seeing the servants swarm towards him again, Matthew grew panicked.

He had introduced himself. If others didn't know of his relationship with Xan, that was understandable, but the engagement between the Nightshade family and the Martinez family was well known in Crestwood. How could Leonard, a prominent figure in Havenbrook, not be aware? His being pulled away now, was it a sign of guilt? Could it be something had really happened to Xan within the Marlowe Manor? Leonard descended the stairs with a look of impatience.

"Mr. Martinez, my family are still sleeping. Please keep your voice down. Whatever it is, we can discuss it outside." "Why? Why discuss it outside? Just letsee Xan, and there's no need for all this talk, Or have you done something to her? Where is she now?" Upstairs, Xanthea was blissfully admiring a well-nurtured black iris on her bedside table when she suddenly heard the commotion outside. Among the voices, one faintly familiar sound reached her ears; "Matthew?" She opened the door, and at the sight of Matthew surrounded by a group of servants at the lobby entrance, surprise flickered across her face.

It really was him? Why was he here? "Xan? Xan!" While struggling. Matthew suddenly looked up and saw Xanthea. His eyes lit up, and he forcefully pushed through the servants to run upstairs.

As he reached her, he gripped her shoulders tightly, causing Xanthea to wince slightly, Confused, she said, "I'm fine, Matt, but how did you end up here?"

"Last night I called you, but it seemed like you were drunk. The call ended abruptly, and no matter how many times I tried, no one answered until the very last call."

As he spoke, he recalled the eerie silence and ambiguous moans from the phone call, the previous night. His hands tightened, his eyes scrutinizing ON O her as if searching for any suspicious sign. But there was nothing.

Xan looked well, along with her body, and since his arrival at the Marlowe Manor, there had been no sign of Orion.

Could it be that he had misunderstood the situation last night? There was no one speaking over the phone, the only voice being just drunken slur, but what about the explosion?
