It seems that the combination of beauty and money holds power beyond her wildest imaginations!
Sebastian said, "Yeah, I've even seen a few girls who frequent the garden confessing to Uncle Orion in the backyard!"
"Seriously?"
There are such brave souls, and not just one!
"Seriously, I never lie!"
"So what happened after they confessed?" Xanthea asked curiously, to which Sebastian shrugged, "Not much, I overheard them talking for ages, and then Uncle Orion asked who she was."
Xanthea couldn't help but burst into laughter. So, the girls thought they were at a point where they could confess, but Orion didn't even have a clue who they were?
She could already imagine the awkward atmosphere and the flushed faces of the girls. Although the story sounded absurd, it strangely fit Orion's character.
"Also, there was this really scary incident at home." Sebastian began, lowering his voice suddenly and looking around before leaning closer to Xanthea, "I must tell you, Xan, but you can't tell anyone else, okay?"
Xanthea nodded, "Your secret's safe with me!"
"The woman who used to teach me piano sneaked into Uncle Orion's room one night when he was drunk."
At the mention of 'drunk,' Xanthea tensed up.
She had seen what Orion was like when drunk; it wasn't pretty. She hoped he hadn't done anything to the piano teacher.
"Turns out, Uncle Orion walked in and nearly strangled her!"
