My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 67

Judy was famously pampered by her high-profile patron in the industry, receiving everything from solo albums and film roles to custom designer gowns. She could do no wrong in his eyes, and even when she threw her weight around with other stars, Michael would quietly smooth things over.

But today, he had shockingly abandoned and publicly confronted Judy—all because Xanthea had been accidentally scratched!

It was unbelievable!

Xanthea must have some unusual connection with Chairman Lockwood, because only a displeased look from him had prompted Michael to act so ruthlessly against Judy!

Yet, Xanthea seemed just a young girl. What could her relationship with Chairman Lockwood possibly be?

Rumors had it that Chairman Lockwood was a confirmed bachelor and the sole heir to the Lockwood Group. The theories of her being his girlfriend or sister didn't quite fit. Judging by today's incident, his reaction towards Xanthea seemed more like she was his cherished darling.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered at the door? Has something big happened?"

Suddenly, a voice emerged from outside. Director Hawthorne made his way through the crowd to the makeup room door and, upon seeing Xanthea and Orion inside, hurried in apologetically.

"Chairman Lockwood, what brings you here? Such a small matter, and it has brought you personally!"

"Ms. Nightshade, I'm so sorry, truly! I had already terminated the contract with Judy due to her constant demands for changes. After much difficulty, Mr. Lopez managed to bring you in, but I didn't anticipate Judy would cause such a scene here. It was my oversight. I hope she hasn't disturbed you."

"It's alright."

"Let me apply some ointment for you."

As soon as Xanthea spoke, Orion pulled out a small, elegant bottle.

Wait, wasn't that the scar treatment cream she had given him?
