Chapter 300


    “Why the heck?”


    Jacob was shocked. “Haven’t the boss and Ms. Nightshade been getting on so well recently?”


    “I have no idea.”


    Cedric frowned. Ever since they returned from Everde, after he had seen the boss talk to Ms.


    Nightshade, their rtionship had been incredibly close, almost inseparable.


    Boss had been in high spirits, shaking off his previous gloom, making Cedric suspect they might


    already be together.


    But today, in Serenwood, the boss’s wild, manic expression was even more terrifying than thest time


    in Everde. He loved Ms. Nightshade to the bone; regardless of how she treated him, he would only


    torment himself. Now, he was even considering making Ms. Nightshade ‘disappear‘ from this world


    forever, which showed how dire things were.


    “It seems to have something to do with Matthew again, but I feel there’s a misunderstanding between


    them that hasn’t been cleared up. If Bos’s really takes such extreme actions, I’m afraid there would be


    no chance for him and Ms. Nightshade. We must stop him!”


    “Have something to do with Matthew?”


    Hearing this, Jacob smiled, lifting the folder in his hand. “Perfect timing then, this document is a


    godsend!”


    Cedric: “?”


    Jacob knocked on the boss’s office door. After a long silence, the two exchanged looks and gently


    pushed open the door.


    The vast office was dark as night, without a trace of light. Using the faint glow from the lightning, Jacob


    and Cedric saw a man behind the desk, clutching a piece of chain, his smile chilling to the bone, hardly


    resembling a normal human..


    Jacob: “Boss, I have something very important to report to you.”


    The man lifted his gaze, his dark and murky eyes were like falling into hell, sending chills down Jacob’s


    spine. Before he could be told to get out, he quickly added, “It’s about Ms. Nightshade!”


    Orion’s grip on the chain paused slightly.


    took out a USB drive from the folder, which Cedric took and plugged into the multimedia system. The


    LED screen immediately


    ed a video.


    “After the explosion at Realm of Illusions audition, we identified potential motives for Isabe and Ms.


    Nightshade’s stepsister–Miranda. You asked me to keep investigating, so I had them followed. Nothing


    new came up, but just the other day, we found this video.”


    Therge LED screen showed a clip of Matthew and Miranda in a ndestine embrace. Cedric


    watched, almost dropping his sses in


    shock.


    Matthew and Miranda? One was Ms. Nightshade’s fiancé, the man she loved most, and the other a


    foster daughter of the Nightshade family, who had been under their care for over a decade and treated


    like a real sister by Ms. Nightshade. And here they were, betraying Ms. Nightshade right under her


    nose, an utterly despicable act, lower than low!

    Jacob had expected his boss to be pleased upon seeing this video. After all, once the video was


    exposed, Ms. Nightshade would definitely not stay with Matthew. But instead, he saw a lethal fury and


    deep self–mockery in the man’s eyes.


    Xan loved Matthew so much, yet he was unfaithful. But even so, what could he do?


    She wouldn’t choose him anyway.


    She didn’t love him, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.


    “Heh.”


    Orion chuckled lowly, hisughter hoarse and ominously dark.


    He put away the sharp military knife and the long


    Feeling the ominous aura emanating from bes


    cold chain, and walked out of the dim office.


    tinged with a hint of madness, Cedric hurried after him. “Boss, where are you going?”


    He couldn’t really be going to abduct Ms/Nightshade, could he?
