My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace ( Xanthea and Mirand ) Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Xanthea couldn’t believe how quickly his ears could turn so red, as if he was touched by magic. She paused, noting the curious gaze of the guests surrounding them, and added, “Not here, but when it’s just the two of us.”

As she spoke, the man’s ears flushed even deeper, and the red even crept down his neck.

Xanthea was s

stunned. He was a grown man; what was the big deal about taking off his shirt to show her something? Was he really that shy?

Wait a minute!

Did he misunderstand something?

She just wanted to see if he had the iris tattoo on his chest, to confirm if he was her lifesaver. He couldn’t possibly think she was proposing some sort of indecent exchange,

could he?

Realizing the possible misunderstanding, Xanthea saw the intense gaze in his dark eyes ignite like a spark and rapidly turn into a blazing flame. The heat in his eyes, now tinged with red, seemed ready to consume her completely.

Oh no!

That terrifying look in his eyes.

He must think she was insulting him!

Xanthea quickly waved her hands, trying to explain, “Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean it like that. I heard you had some unique marks, and I was just curious to see them. If it’s not convenient for you to show me, even a photo would do!”

Why did it feel like she was becoming more of a creeper, as if she was some kind of bul demanding a hot guy’s nude photos?

In her urgency, she raised her voice, which attracted the attention of Cedric standing nearby.

Unique marks?

Was Ms. Nightshade referring to the scars from cigarette burns inflicted by the CEO’s stepmother when he was a child?

How could Ms. Nightshade be so cruel!

He knew it. Why had she suddenly changed her attitude towards the CEO, smiling and helping him out when she had always been cold and dismissive before? She must have concocted a new way to humiliate him!

What was she planning to do with those photos? Spread them around?

Chapter 12

As Xanthea pondered whether she had made herself clear, she saw the fiery look in his eyes cool down; he had his lips pressed tightly as if he was suppressing intense emotions, and his whole body was exuding a chilling aura.

Was he not angry anymore? But why did it feel so cold around them?

“No.”

The man’s response was cold, and Xanthea almost doubted her ears.

No?

She was offering a billion-dollar bet, MJ Group’s order, and the sole heir position of the Lockwood Group in exchange for just a glance at his chest, and he said no?

Was she insane? Was his body that precious? But if he was so valuable, why did he unhesitatingly shield her from harm, even contemplating ending his own life after her supposed death? This man was truly baffling.

“Thump thump thump” The phone rang, and after Cedric answered, he hurriedly said to Orion, “Mr. Lockwood, Chairman Lockwood called. He wants you and the vice president back at the company immediately. The shareholders’ meeting has started, and he’s announcing the heir!”

Timothy and Orion? Heirs to the shares?

No, Orion must not go!

As soon as Cedric finished speaking, Xanthea grabbed Orion’s wrist, “You can’t go!”

Cedric said, “Ms. Nightshade, this is urgent, please don’t interfere with the CEO now!”

Ethan and Samuel were also stunned. What was Xanthea doing today? Why did she suddenly decide to join the betting competition and bizarrely stake a billion dollars to g to Orion, and why was she now stopping him from attending a shareholders’ meeting?

They remembered correctly; she wasn’t that close to Orion, were they?

Ethan said, “Xan, let go of Mr. Lockwood. The shareholders’ meeting is crucial for the future of the Lockwood Group, stop this nonsense.”

Samuel even pulled Xanthea away, “Mr. Lockwood, sorry about this. She’s being impulsi please go ahead if you have business.”

“I can’t let him go, I have something to say to him.”

Even as Samuel pulled her away, Xanthea clung to Orion’s wrist, and her eyes were desperately searching for a reason to keep him there.

She absolutely couldn’t let him leave with Timothy in the same car, but as she was faced with the shareholders’ meeting and the heir position, any excuse she found seemed weak He surely wouldn’t listen to her!

She had her fingers dig into his suit, gripping his wrist. Orion looked down at her and murmured, “Hmm.”

The whole room went silent for a second after his deep, magnetic monosyllable.

“I’m staying. Speak.”

Xanthea, being speechless, stared at him with a serious expression. He agreed just like that? She hadn’t even said anything yet.

Cedric, looking stunned, almost dropped his phone.

The CEO was putting aside a diligently planned position as chairman for Ms. Nightshade’s single sentence? Unbelievable!

He couldn’t understand what was so special about Ms. Nightshade. Although she came from a distinguished family and was breathtakingly beautiful with incredible luck, her nature was too harsh. With her being always cold and demeaning towards the CEO, how had she managed to captivate him so completely?
