Chapter 190 After disconnecting the call, Xanthea blinked at Oliver, "Uncle Oliver, why are you looking atlike that?" "Yesterday?" "Oh, Orion was sick. I felt guilty for misunderstanding him before, so I went over to apologize in person!" "Just like that?" Oliver eyed her skeptically, and Xanthea nodded, "Just like that." But the way she had just been on the phone resembled a teenager in a secret young romance, hiding it from her parents.

Despite her best efforts to mask her emotions in front of him, her ups and downs were easily swayed by the person on the other end of the line. He'd never seen such a fresh yet unfamiliar flutter of emotions. from her when she was with Matthew.

He had always felt that Mr. Lockwood had a special fondness for Xan, attributing it to the major favor she had done for him at the gem betting event. But upon reflection, if he wanted to repay her, he could simply transfer smoney or offer resources. It didn't need to be so personal, especially concerning the "Realm of Illusions" project.

Could it be that Mr. Lockwood had taken a liking to Xan? And Xan, without any initial intentions, through their audition mishap felt guilty towards him. After spending a night at Everglade with him, being young and vulnerable, had she fallen for his charms? But she was about to get engaged to Matthew! "Xan, you're young and talented, and the world offers many temptations and choices. But as for either dealing with people or business, you gotta do it wholeheartedly. Especially when it comes to relationships, you must remain dedicated. Never lead an unfaithful life; it can easily lead to disaster." Especially when one of those involved was Mr. Lockwood. She was young and might not realize the danger. Provoking him could have unimaginable consequences!" Xanthea was like, "?" Xanthea looked baffled at his words, not understanding why he jumped to the conclusion of her leading an unfaithful life.

"Uncle Oliver, what're you talking about?" "I'm asking if you still like Matthew?" Xanthea froze. Was her aversion to Matthew so obvious that even her uncle had noticed? As expected, Oliver saw her reaction and confirmed his suspicion, “So, what're you planning to do? The worst thing in matters of the heart is to drag things out, unclear and entangled." "Uncle Oliver!" Xanthea interrupted him, “I've already figured it out; you don't have to worry." "If you say so, I feel relieved." Oliver nodded. Although she was young, she'd always been sensible and never made anyone worry.

Oliver looked at her, as if she were his own daughter, smiling with gratification, "You've really grown up, and your choices are getting sharper!" Xanthea was like, "?" On the other end, Orion stared unblinkingly at the familiar number, his gaze deep and unreadable.

His desires seemed to be growing greedier.

From mere fleeting thoughts to unreachable touches, and now to the hegat close concerns, the closer he got to her, the more he wanted to claim her all of her, completely, to the extent that no one else could even see her. He was nearly driven mad with the thought. At Lakeside Manor, the Nightshade family.

The grand hall was dazzlingly lit for the party, filled with fragrant om perfumes and elegant figures, gathering many of the Nightshade family's business associates and Samuel's close friends. As soon as Xanthea entered the party, Samuel spotted her and made his way through the crowd, irritatedly grabbing her ear.

"Xanthea, you're always busy filming.

Do you even rememberanymore? You didn't callall-day; did you ET forget today is my birthday?" "Ouch! Samuel, if you weren't in my heart, why would I cback? Hey, Ethan, pull him off now; he's really strong!"
