My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 68

"Wow, there's always a bigger fish, huh? Today was definitely an eye-opener!"

They had Judy pegged as a spoiled princess with a silver spoon, but they were wrong. Xanthea was the true queen, all elegance and grace under the radar!

Not only was she handpicked by Director Hawthorne himself, but she even turned down Chairman Lockwood's favor without batting an eye!

Outside the Elevation Building, after Michael dealt with Judy, he regretfully chased after Orion trying to explain, but he was stopped by the bodyguards before he could get near the car.

As the car sped down Central Avenue, Jacob flipped open his tablet. "Mr. Lockwood, that singer Judy has been Michael's mistress for over two years now. It's been kept under wraps, both internally and externally."

"Send the video to his wife."

"Right away."

Jacob compiled the video data and hit the enter key. "That Judy?"

"Disfigure her."

The two words coldly uttered made Cedric, driving in front, shudder. What on earth had transpired in such a short meeting?

Orien was known for his ruthless decisiveness, but he'd always taken care of the veterans who contributed to the Lockwood Group. To go this far against Michael, he must have crossed a serious line.

In the music video about the 'Queen of Pop,' as Oliver mentioned, there weren't many shots of her, but each frame was strikingly beautiful.

Sean had thought his first collaboration with Xanthea might be challenging, given her lack of acting background and experience in film.

To his surprise, she was a natural. She grasped the script profoundly and quickly understood everything he said. Her camera presence was unbelievably flawless.

Her perfect, radiant face showed no flaws at any angle, and her sparkling, luminous eyes seemed to capture the soul of anyone who looked into them on the big screen.
