    Chapter 280


    Miranda burst intoughter when she heard Xanthea’s name, “Didn’t you call out for her all night


    already? Isn’t that enough?”


    Her? One night?


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Those few words shattered thest bit of hope Matthew had been clinging to. His heavehly tion


    plummeted into hellish despair.


    The person he had slept withst night was Miranda, not Xan?!


    Impossible! This couldn’t be happening!


    “Matt, have you not sobered up yet?”


    “Or did you really think, with her personality, she’d take the initiative to sleep with you?”


    “Shut up!”


    Matthew barked furiously, unable to ept the scene unfolding before him.


    He remembered everything now–the drunken blur of the previous night. When Xanthea had arrived, he


    did suspect whether it was really her, but she was so enthusiastic, he just couldn’t resist.


    “It was you! You wore Xan’s dress, mimicked her voice, came to the bar to find me, and that’s why I


    mistook you for her!”


    “Matt, stop making excuses for yourself. You’ve never been a one–woman man. Why pretend to be the


    devoted lover now? Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?”


    “Get out!”


    Matthew shoved away her clinging arms, his eyes nearly bulging out of his skull, “It was all a setup by


    you, wasn’t it?”


    Miranda sneered.


    Back in Willowdale, they had already shown their true colors to each other. Now, it was all just a game


    of maniption; no need for


    pretenses.


    “I’m the bad one, but what does that make you, the future brother–inw who slept with me?”


    “Shut up!”


    “Miranda, today was an ident. I’ll act like it never happened and won’t hold you responsible.”


    Matthew hurriedly picked up his clothes to leave, but Miranda tapped open her phone to show him a


    video, “You might not hold me responsible, but what if my sister sees this video?”


    Matthew nced at her phone and went pale.


    The video disyed their intimate moments.


    She had seduced him and even recorded it!


    “Miranda, what are you trying to do? Have you gone mad?!”


    “Yes, I am mad! I’ve been crazy ever since Xanthea tried to poison me by adding something to those


    apple turnovers you brought me, aiming to put me six feet under!”


    “What are you talking about?”


    Matthew stared at her in disbelief.


    Her poisoning was because of the apple turnovers Xanthea had him deliver?


    Impossible. Those turnovers were made by his own mother. He had eaten them, and so had Xanthea,


    and they were fine. How could just Miranda have been poisoned?


    See, even you don’t believe it, right?”


    Of course, he wouldn’t believe it Xanthea was pure and kind, not like her—she was cruel and utterly


    devious


    “Everyone Lelieves her loves her, so I just have to destroy her! Destroy her lover, her family, her career


    Youre insane


    Matthew grabbed hel ng arms and deleted the video from her phone.


    Miranda shrugged andughed mockingly. “Matt, you didnt think i’d be foolish enough not to keep a


    backup, did you?


    “Mirandar Matthew red furiously wishing he could strangle for “Have you truly lost your ind? If this


    video gets but not caly pre


    Kan and I finished but you wont be able to stay with the Nightshade fanniy enther


    hare wow. I don’t n to expose the video (just want you to cooperate with me Uists all.
