My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 131

Xanthea turned her face towards Leonard, and for a moment, the sheer beauty of her presence left him utterly stunned. He coughed awkwardly, his tea almost spilling in a most ungainly manner.

He finally understood why Orion had fallen so deeply for her!

Growing up among the elite, Leonard had encountered all sorts of celebrities and heiresses of prestigious families. He thought he was immune to beauty, but he had never seen true allure until now.

He had to look away!

If he kept staring, he might start coveting his friend's woman!

Had it been anyone else, he might have pursued her without any moral consideration, but not with Orion. Orion would kill him.

"You're strikingly beautiful. So much so, I'm afraid to take you to the party."

"Why? Is your girlfriend going to be there? Should we go separately?"

"That's not it!"

Leonard shook his head, mainly worried about attracting unwanted attention from wolves in sheep's clothing that might compel Orion to confront him.

At the back hill, an animal-themed party was in full swing.

As Xanthea made her entrance, her radiant and graceful figure immediately captured the attention of every guest.

Almost every man was mesmerized, lavishing praises upon her, while the women, envious yet curious, speculated about her identity.

Leonard had just entered the party when the butler informed him Anthony wanted him in the study.
