Chapter 314
Who’s the little minx touching my leg under the table just now?”
Xanthea’s eyes widened, their amber gleam practically shouting innocence, “Who touched you? That was a poke to make you get up!”
Orion relaxed his brows, his gaze softened with a hint of amusement, “I got up now, babe. Are you satisfied now?”
Following his gaze, Xanthes shivered, her cheeks flushing. She reached out to pinch his waist, but found his muscles too hard to pinch. Was this man made of iron or what?
“You’re always bullying mel
“So are you babe. And you know how to deceive people, like a sly little fox.”
Orion scooped her up and walked to the sofa, gently pressing his forehead against hers. His eyes, which had held a trace of smile, gradually turned cold and dark, as if ready to settle scores.
Xanthea looked puzzled, “Deceive you?” The guilty is accusing the innocent? Wasn’t he the one deceiving her? He had bought the clothes but lied about it
Matthew’s planning to propose to you in the next few days?”
“Ah“, Xanthea waved her hands frantically at his words, distancing herself from the situation, “I had no idea, honestly! I just heard Samuel mention it, same as you.”
“He wanted to surprise you?”
“Surprise? It’s more like a shock. I’d definitely refuse him! No, I wouldn’t even give him a chance to propose. It’s too disgusting!”
In her past life and this one, it all went out like this.
In her past life, he got Miranda pregnant and then married her.
Now, after just being with Miranda, he was planning to propose? That was utterly repulsive!
Her disgust and eager explanations pleased Onion deeply.
Orion’s long fingers weaved through her thick, wavy hair, playing with it affectionately. “If you’ve disliked Matthew for so long, why not break up with him? Why wait for the evidence?”
Indeed, why wait for the evidence?
For the sake of that evidence, she had entered the entertainment industry, acting and participating in reality shows, hiding her true self to win over the audience. No one could understand why.
Because no one felt the pain of her past life. No one experienced the betrayal by Matthew and Miranda, And no one had been pushed from the 26th floor to her death.
She didn’t just want a simple breakup with Matthew or an ‘estrangement from Miranda. She wanted them to be utterly ruined, to live the rest of their lives in misery, or even not be able to live at all!
If she could expose their scandalous photos on her big day, causing outrage from the Nightshade family, the Nightshade Group, and all her friends and family, her wish would be fulfilled,
But achieving this wish had come at a great cost, and she had hurt the one she loved most.
She didn’t want to torment herself anymore, nor did she want to make Orion unhappy.

“I could break up with Matthew, but Miranda is the darling of my parents. Accusing her without evidence, they wouldn’t believe me. I’d still have to see her in the Nightshade family, and it would be unbearable.”
I’ve been thinking of finding evidence and exposing their affair at the engagement party, making them notorious, and erasing them from my life.”
As she said this, a rare flicker of deep hatred flashed in her eyes, but the next second she playfully wrapped her arms around his neck, pretending ease, “So, thank you so much. Thank you for helping me find the evidence!
Ill show it to my parents tonight, and break up with Matthew!”
Orion’s fingers gently stroked her furrowed brows, as if trying to soothe away that emotion which shouldn’t belong to her, “Let’s wait for the proposal
