Chapter 448
When Xanthea heard the news, she couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Even if the whole world tumed its back on her, her Matt and Mirry would never betray her!
What was she thinking?
It seemed Isabella couldn’t just follow her to the same university and continue to mimic her actions; now she had to find other ways to bug her.
If she really wanted to see her unhappy, then Xanthea would put on a show just for her.
“What did you say? Impossible, this can’t be happening.”
She stumbled backward, as if struck by an immense force, shaking her head in disbelief and sobbing with her face in her hands, “Matt would never cheat on me with sister Mimy. If even they betray me then I wouldn’t want to live anymore!”
Isabella was taken aback by her strong reaction, Xanthea’s thought of suicide scaring her into silence about the truth.
Cedric couldn’t believe it either.
It turned out, Ms. Nightshade and the CEO were alike, willing to give everything for love, even their own lives.
In the dim light of his Rolls–Royce, the man’s deep, hoarse, self–deprecating laughter echoed. It was sinister and terrifying, like he was falling into a bottomless, dark, cold abyss, his whole being exuding a sense of despair.
What was he hoping for?
For years, he was just a madman indulging in his dark fantasies, weaving a daydream only for himself.
Her world had long since excluded him.
“Miranda, great news, fantastic news!” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
*Starlight Media just called. Mr. Lockwood wants to meet you at the Twin Towers!”
“When did you climb the ladder to such a top–tier mogul? Why didn’t you tell me?”
Agent Ruby rushed into Miranda’s dressing room with a smile plastered on her face. Miranda was shocked and suspicious, “Mr. Lockwood?”
The sole heir to the Lockwood Group, the man behind Starlight Media, Crestwood’s youngest billionaire–Orion?
She remembered seeing him only as a child and then again at Xanthea’s coming–of–age party. He was tall, handsome, and utterly captivating, sparking an immediate crush in her, but his gaze always seemed to linger on Xanthea, both as children and as adults. Why would he suddenly seek her out?
“Really, Miranda, you’ve truly got some skills.”
The surprise in Miranda’s eyes faded, replaced by a secret thrill.
Orion was a business tycoon at the pinnacle of the Crestwood’s elite. If she could get close to him, she could completely shed her identity as an adopted daughter of the Nightshade family and become someone even Xanthea, the precious heiress, couldn’t reach. In the evening, she meticulously dressed up and was led by the staff to the 66th–floor CEO office of Twin Towers.
Gazing at the tall figure in front of the vast window, the dim light casting half of his handsome profile in shadow, her heart raced with nervous anticipation. But before she could speak, she was met with a cold, low voice, making her feel as if she had plunged into an icy abyss.
“Leave Matthew.”
Her face paled, and her legs went weak.
How did he know about her and Matthew? They had been so careful, it was impossible for anyone to find out.
Was this some investigation for Xanthea?
Then why not just tell Xanthea directly and expose them, instead of summoning her here to issue a non–negotiable command?
Cedric stood outside, watching Miranda walk in, and sighed deeply.
The CEO was hopelessly in love with Ms. Nightshade
