My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Xanthea pressed her palm against his chest, setting a boundary with a serious tone. “Keep your distance. If someone sees us, it could get messy!”

Someone?

Who was she worried about?

Is that Matthew whom she was worried about?

Orion’s dark eyes narrowed instantly, tightening his grip on her hand.

Xanthea jolted, sensing a dangerous undercurrent in his touch, and quickly shook her head, “Don’t get me wrong, I meant the fans. If they find out…”

Before she could finish, the livestream camera swiveled toward them.

Xanthea swiftly withdrew her hand, putting on a worried expression for Olivia, feeling as though someone could see right through her.

“Olivia? Olivia?”

There Olivia lay on the ground, feigning unconsciousness, but her twitching eyelids betrayed her intense inner turmoil.

In that moment she fell, she saw with her own eyes that Mr. Lockwood hadn’t cared about her at all; instead, he grabbed Xanthea, as if… afraid she might get hurt.

That shameless temptress had already ensnared Mr. Lockwood!

Despite all of her schemes, she had failed; while Xanthea had succeeded so effortlessly. Why?

“Tsk.”

Isabella, standing on the sidelines with arms crossed, scoffed disdainfully at Olivia.

An idol who didn’t even go to school and has suffered through countless hardships during her previous years, now couldn’t even stand under the sun for a few minutes without onto a man–did she think the audience were fools?

The only fool here was Xanthea, who couldn’t even see that “someone” is trying to steal her boyfriend right under her nose, yet still standing there showing concern.

Wait. If Olivia was targeting Xanthea, she should be happy about it. Why feel sorry

Olivia?” William called out. “Get the medic over here!”

for Xanthea?

“No need…” Olivia opened her eyes weakly for the camera, playing the martyr. “I’m fine, just a bit dizzy. I can keep going.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

She couldn’t afford to step down now; that would be admitting defeat.

She was not ready to give up, nor would she let Xanthea have an easy time!

“Just hold on a little longer; we’re almost done.”

Okay.

The 40 minutes soon passed, and Jonathan, checking his watch, announced, “Time’s up! All contestants pass this round, earning one point each.”

Take a break, everyone. Ten minutes in the shade, then we ready for the next

Finally, someone sighed, “I thought I’d melt/in that sun!”

Tell me about it. My clothes are soaked!”

“My face is so red; I must have sunburned. No amount of skincare will fix this!”

Nelson, cradling his face, saw the other three female stars whose sunburn seemed worse than his, except for Xanthea, whose complexion remained immaculately pale and delicate, her skin almost translucent with a touch of dewy freshness.

Gosh, that’s almost unreal, Xan! How come you don’t have a single sunburn?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Before she could respond, Olivia sneered, “Some people had shade, how could they get sunburned?”

Watching the woman who had once been polite and flattering now throwing veiled insults, it was clear she had truly fallen for Orion.

It couldn’t have just started today, or her jealousy wouldn’t be flaring so intensely. That fall just now…

I’m sorry, I don’t know why Mr. Lockwood chose to shade me rather than help you up, sister…”
