in astonishment


    Chapter 359


    “Xan, are you serious?


    “But Matthew said it was him


    “How can you believe that higher? We were all duped at that time, including me I also thought I had


    been saved by Matthew until teamed the truthter on” Xanthes said. T Matthew had saved me, why


    were his clothes dry?”


    remember now! Zom suddenly recalled, “That day, while everyone was gathered around the


    unconscious youngdy I indeed saw Mr. Lockwood quietly leaving thekeside alone, and the


    footprints he left were wet


    Christopher and Susanna’s expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. They stood up and


    toasted to Orion


    “Orion, we had no idea you were Xan’s savior”


    “We’ve been so rude, please forgive what we saidst night. Don’t take it to heart


    Onon stood up. Th’s alright. Mr. and Mrs. Nightshade, no worries”


    “But we must express our gratitude for such a great favor!”


    “We really don’t know how to thank you enough this toast is a must!”


    Xanthea saw the gratitude in her parents‘ eyes and the silently raised ss of Samuel beside them.


    She knew her n was nearly seed


    Christopher downed his ss in one gulp, “Onion, I’ve been wondering, what exactly do you like about


    Xan?”


    As Oliver had said he was talented and powerful, wanting nothing but Xan’s love


    But with the power of the Lockwood Group, he could have any woman he wanted–from nobledies to


    famous actresses. Why go through all this trouble for Xan?

    Xanthea had a strange feeling that her father, after a drink, had suddenly epted Orion as his son,


    and she had be his daughter–inw


    But she was also curious about what Onion liked about her.


    Onon looked down at her with a tender smile, “I don’t know either.”


    Xanthea’s eyes widened in shock. With so many virtues she had, howe he couldn’t name a single


    one?!


    “It’s just that thinking of her makes my heart race and seeing her makes my life worth living?


    Christopher and Susanna didn’t fully understand his words, but seeing their daughter’s sweet smile,


    they felt relieved.


    Smooth talker


    Xanthea sneakily poked the inside of his thigh under the table, intending to withdraw immediately, but


    he tightly held her hand.


    In front of everyone,


    what was he trying to do? Why did he move even closer….


    “Xan, here’s to you! Oliver raised his ss, rescuing Xanthea without his knowing it, “Here’s to finding


    such a good boyfriend”


    Xanthea quickly picked up her ss, shooting Orion a re, who looked innocent as if to say. You


    started it.


    A good boyfriend indeed, if only he wasn’t so flirtatious


    The lunch was lively and filled with joy, and just as it was ending, Ethan, who had been quiet, suddenly


    looked at Orion.


    “Mr. Lockwood, I hope you don’t mind me asking you something?”


    “Please, go ahead.” Orion replied.


    Xanthea, curious at her brother’s rare serious tone, asked, “What do you want to ask, big bro?”


    “I was wondering about the media reports that Mr. Lockwood, during his childhood, pushed his


    stepmother down the stairs due to family disputes and inheritance issues, resulting in her death. Is that


    true?”
