My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 384

A conversation could be heard from the other side.

Cedric: "Boss, the head of IM has scheduled a meeting with you for Saturday. I've set it up at Horizon Ventures Ltd."

"Mhm."

[Wait, did I just hear that correctly? Boss? Was that Mr. Lockwood’s voice just now?]

[Yes, yes, yes! That deep, magnetic, and oh-so-sexy voice, it’s definitely Mr. Lockwood!]

[Oh my, boss? Could it be Mr. Lockwood is a president? You’ve got to be kidding!]

[OMG, ladies, check out what I’ve just found! Orion, twenty years old, the youngest billionaire in the history of Crestwood, CEO and chairman of the Lockwood Group, with ventures including Horizon Ventures Ltd. He rarely makes public appearances. Could it really be Mr. Lockwood?!]

[No way! For real? Mr. Lockwood is Orion? The top hidden billionaire Crestwood? This has got to be some kind of fantasy drama, right?]

[Absolutely! I just Googled a photo of the Lockwood Group’s old chairman. Even though he’s over 70, you can totally see the resemblance in his eyes and eyebrows. He must be Instructor Lockwood's grandfather!]

[I’m losing it, Mr. Lockwood is actually a super-rich third-generation heir. With a flick of his wrist, he could buy out Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night. Going on there must have been specifically to chase Xan, right?]

[Mystery solved! The domineering and cunning big boss turns into a warm-hearted instructor, madly pursuing the top-tier heiress. I am so here for this!]

[Help! This dramatic plot twist has totally blown me away. And we were worried a commoner couldn’t match up to Xan, but it turns out we were the fools. Mr. Lockwood is so cunning, chasing his love under a disguise!]

[Top-tier business tycoon VS top-stream gorgeous star, I’m so invested. I'm losing my mind over this couple!]

"Hello?"

After the brief call, the sound of the man approached came through the microphone.

To prevent him from immediately calling out “Xannie,” Xanthea quickly raised her voice, “Mr. Lockwood, hope I’m not disturbing you?”

As expected, there was a one-second pause, then his tone turned distant and polite, “Ms. Nightshade, hello.”
