My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 449

Cedric once saw countless photos of Ms. Nightshade in the president's safe, which Orion hugged after drinking, discovering the secret he had hidden for many years. It was then he uncovered the secret Mr. Lockwood had harbored for many, many years.

Mr. Lockwood's love for Ms. Nightshade wasn't new; it was a tale as old as time. He learned to cook for her, planted a mountain of irises for her, dealt with all potential hidden dangers for her, and now, he had to deal with her rival in love.

Despite his seething jealousy towards Matthew, wishing he could make him disappear from this world, but he was afraid that Ms. Nightshade would be devastated if she discovered the betrayal, so he personally tried to match them up.

How excruciating must the pain in his heart be? So intense it could very well kill him, right?

Miranda couldn't understand it, the only reasonable explanation was that Orion didn't want her to ruin the relationship between Matthew and Xanthea.

But from what stance was he doing this?

Surely, he couldn't be in love with Xanthea? If that were the case, how terrifying must his love be?

She looked at the man in disbelief, only to be frightened by his suddenly cold and sharp gaze.

"Alright, okay."

Given his standing, he had the entertainment industry at his beck and call; she had no choice but to comply.

But leaving Matthew meant all her meticulous plans over the years would crumble to dust, she would gain nothing.

The moment she walked out of the office, she suddenly clenched her fist, taking a desperate gamble, "Mr. Lockwood, I'll leave Matthew, but in return, I want to sign with Starlight Media and secure the NOSEW endorsement."

She had thought she was bargaining with the devil, yet to her surprise, he agreed without hesitation, as if these demands were trivial to him.

"Cheers!"
