My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 300

“Why the heck?”

Jacob was shocked. “Haven't the boss and Ms. Nightshade been getting on so well recently?”

“I have no idea.”

Cedric frowned. Ever since they returned from Everglade, after he had seen the boss talk to Ms. Nightshade, their relationship had been incredibly close, almost inseparable.

Boss had been in high spirits, shaking off his previous gloom, making Cedric suspect they might already be together.

But today, in Serenwood, the boss's wild, manic expression was even more terrifying than the last time in Everglade. He loved Ms. Nightshade to the bone; regardless of how she treated him, he would only torment himself. Now, he was even considering making Ms. Nightshade 'disappear' from this world forever, which showed how dire things were.

“It seems to have something to do with Matthew again, but I feel there's a misunderstanding between them that hasn't been cleared up. If Boss really takes such extreme actions, I'm afraid there would be no chance for him and Ms. Nightshade. We must stop him!”

“Have something to do with Matthew?”

Hearing this, Jacob smiled, lifting the folder in his hand. “Perfect timing then, this document is a godsend!”

Cedric: “?”

Jacob knocked on the boss's office door. After a long silence, the two exchanged looks and gently pushed open the door.

The vast office was dark as night, without a trace of light. Using the faint glow from the lightning, Jacob and Cedric saw a man behind the desk, clutching a piece of chain, his smile chilling to the bone, hardly resembling a normal human.

Jacob: “Boss, I have something very important to report to you.”

The man lifted his gaze, his dark and murky eyes were like falling into hell, sending chills down Jacob's spine. Before he could be told to get out, he quickly added, “It's about Ms. Nightshade!”
