My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 458

"The first order of business, I'm hanging up my hat."

What?! As soon as the words left her mouth, it was like someone had dropped a bomb in the middle of the stadium. The crowd went absolutely wild.

"Hanging up her hat? Did I hear that right?"

"She's at the peak of her popularity, the future's bright with stardom. Quitting now? She’s kidding, right?"

"Xan?!"

Oliver nearly choked on his own breath when he heard she was quitting. His niece had always been a little troublemaker, always giving him “surprises”, but this was the ultimate shock. His dreams of managing a world-class superstar were shattering before they even fully took off!

"Xan's quitting? Why so sudden, didn't even give us a heads-up?" Samuel was taken aback, his gaze finally landing on Orion with suspicion, asking, "Orion, don't tell me you pushed her into quitting?"

Some old-money families had this annoying trait of looking down on the entertainment industry. If he had anything to do with it...

"No."

A storm seemed to pass through Orion's eyes, but it quickly settled. It seemed he understood her decision.

[????????????????]

[Folks, it must be my ears playing tricks on me, right? Xan's quitting? How's that even possible? I can't accept this, and I won't allow it!!!]

[This must be some sort of joke, right? She's the biggest name in showbiz right now, the dream peak of many. How could she possibly quit at a time like this?]
