Chapter 332
What exactly is Xan going to do?
Saying “yes” to Matthew’s proposal at the engagement ceremony. It would be as good as an official
announcement. Backing out afterward would be impossible without irreparably damaging both her
personal reputation and that of the Nightshade Group.
In thevish banquet hall adorned with the beautiful roses and the floating balloons. The scene she had
fantasized about countless times in her previous life was now bing reality. However, the moment
her high heels touched the red carpet, it felt as though she were stepping into a pool of blood.
Just the day before their engagement, she had caught Matthew and Miranda in the act of betrayal.
They had joined forces to push her off a high–rise building, leading to her untimely death.
Her mother, upon hearing the tragic news, was heartbroken and fell gravely ill. Her elder brother,
Samuel, had to travel abroad seeking medical solutions, while her father remained in the dark, unaware
as their family assets wem slowly drained away.

Since her death, Samuel hadn’t slept a wink. On his way to thepany to salvage what he could, he
died in a car crash that seemed more like a suicide attempt
In a single night, the Nightshade Group was destroyed, and the family was left in ruins, with no hope of
recovery.
She hated Matthew and Miranda with every fiber of her being!
Tears of burning intensity welled up in Xanthea’s eyes as she clenched theer of her suit.
As the gears of fate aligned them once more, this time, the oue would be entirely different
Now, with her dad, mom, and brother Samuel alive and herself well and having Onion by her side, she
would use all her strength to protect and stay with them.
From behind the crowd, Samuel, who was on the verge of tears, patted Ethan’s shoulder, forcing a
smile. It was unclear whether he wasforting Ethan or himself.
“Alright, big bro, don’t be sad
“Even though Matthew isn’t much in every respect and isn’t good enough for Xan, if that’s who she
likes.”
“As long as she’s happy, that’s all that matters.”
“To put it another way, marrying Matthew might actually be good. At least she’d stay close to home,
under our eyes.
If she were to marry someone powerful and influential, like Orion, she’d definitely be taken away, and
we wouldn’t see her as often.”
As Samuel spoke, he slightly lifted his head to hold back his tears. When he looked up to the top of the
hall, he noticed a shadowy figure stood in the darkened balcony.
The figure was tall and imposing, standing there with amanding presence, his gaze sweeping over
the room like a regal king overseeing his domain.
Orion?
Why was he here?
Had he actuallye to witness his sister’s engagement ceremony?
That must be some form of self–torture
Xanthea lifted her long gown and walked step by step onto the stage.
Matthew, holding a bouquet of roses, knelt before her excitedly. “Xan, known each other since we were
kids. We’ve faced the storms of life together for over a decade, and in all these years.”
1 never would’ve thought that the famous CEO of Lockwood Group would be so devoted to his love, so
much so that he had not only joined a reality show with her but alsoe to her engagement
ceremony to torture himself.”
Samuel’s teasing voicee from behind, and Orion’s darkshes lowered slightly, “She’s worth it.”
Hearing this, Samuel’s body trembled as if struck by something. His eyes lit up.
Yes, Xan was worth it!
She deserved the best of everything, the most exceptional person!
From childhood to now, he had always believed this.
People around him always said he was overly protective to his sister, that he idolized her too much. No
one truly understood him.
But with just one sentence, Orion had spoken to his heart.
He was indeed a rare kindred spint, he understanding just how wonderful Xan was!.
