"Sis, congrats! You finally got what you wanted!"
Everything was going according to plan, Miranda raised her glass to Xanthea with a triumphant smile on her face. Xanthea returned her gesture with a smile; she was indeed about to get everything she wished for.
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing the proposal, except for Oliver, who remained silent.
After waiting for a while and seeing that Xanthea had no intention of speaking up, Oliver suddenly raised his voice and looked at her seriously, "Xan, don't you have something to say to everyone?"
"What?"
Everyone stopped and looked at him and Xanthea curiously.
Xanthea raised an eyebrow, "?"
"Orion."
As soon as the name Orion was mentioned, Xanthea's pupils instantly dilated.
She had felt that her uncle's emotions were a bit today, and here he was, ready to ruin things!
"Orion?"
Before he could finish, she quickly interrupted him, "Do you want to invite him? Wouldn't that be inappropriate? He's so busy."
What? Invite him?
Was she out of her mind? Did she want him to come and ruin the proposal scene?
His niece must have been spoiled by the family and didn't know the severity of the situation or what kind of person Orion really was.
Back then, when The Lockwood Group was in turmoil, he had only been in power for a year, before he eliminated the old faction, stabilized the situation, and became the youngest leader of the Twin Towers. He wouldn't hesitate to act against his closest relatives and friends, let alone a woman who betrayed him.
"Xan?"
"Uncle! There's something in your hair; it looks like a moth!"
"What?"
