My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 65

Michael didn't rush to calm her down; instead, he pushed her away in a panic and hissed, "Stop making a scene, the Chairman is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the grand VIP elevator opened to reveal a figure of distinguished and noble stature, surrounded by a crowd of people.

Everyone in the makeup room straightened up and greeted him with bows, "Good morning, Chairman Lockwood!"

Orion stepped out of the elevator, and his gaze immediately landed on Xanthea, who was leisurely lounging in the makeup room, her legs crossed and a playful expression on her face as though she were watching a show. His usually calm eyes stirred with a ripple of disturbance.

Caught off guard by his presence, Xanthea blinked in surprise and then realized that Judy's husband must be an employee at Lockwood Group—no wonder Judy was so arrogant.

She had been ready to put Judy's delusions to rest, but now that Orion was involved.

"I don't care!" Judy ignored Michael's attempts to calm her down and began to create a scene publicly. "I've been terribly insulted today, bullied by some brash young girl, and you need to defend my honor!"

Her noisy complaints shattered the brief silence. Orion's brow furrowed slightly, his tone icy, "What's going on?"

Seeing Michael, usually so imposing, now retreating like a scared turtle, not standing up for her, Judy was livid. Her face was flushed with anger when she heard the chairman of Lockwood Group speak and quickly shook Michael off.

Michael, a veteran member of the Lockwood Group board, had his family member bullied—surely the chairman would intervene, right?

If such a high-profile figure took action, this disrespectful girl was doomed!
