My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 335

"Listen to me, just let me explain!"

Matthew trembled under the scorn of the crowd, even his swollen lips twitching uncontrollably, "It's not what you think."

"Matthew, I'm gonna kill you!"

Samuel charged through the crowd, grabbed Matthew by the collar, and swung his fist heavily.

His veins bulged with each punch, his furious demeanor resembling a madman. Matthew's face became a bloody mess, his teeth flying out with splatters of blood. The sight nearly made Miranda collapse in fear.

"Stop, please stop!"

"He can't take anymore, he'll die!"

"Mr. Samuel Nightshade, please, show some mercy. Let's talk this out."

Gabriel and Penelope cried and begged as they rushed to intervene, while the other relatives and shareholders of the Martinez family retreated in fear, trying to distance themselves. Matthew’s betrayal of Ms. Nightshade with his stepsister had completely enraged the Nightshade family!

The Nightshade family would never forgive him; they just hoped they wouldn't be caught in the fallout!

Samuel, who adored Xanthea beyond measure, and had once beaten up street thugs just for bothering her. Now, having seen the video, he might actually kill Matthew, and possibly even her.

Miranda's face turned pale. Taking advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on Matthew, she tried to run toward the exit with shaky legs.

But just as she reached the door, two men in black suits and sunglasses blocked her path.

"Ms. Moore, where are you going?"

"Who are you?"

"Why are you grabbing me? Let go of me, let go of me!"

The bodyguards ignored her protests and dragged her back towards the stage. Her terrified screams drew everyone's attention.

"Miranda, the Nightshade family has raised and protected you. The elders treated you as one of their own, and Xan cherished you like a sister. How could you do something so despicable and inhumane? Do you have no heart?"
