“I toast to you later”
Later, when she actually got married.
Matthew stood up, a bit puzzled, holding his wine glass. Feeling guilty, he subconsciously avoided Miranda’s gaze, “Xan, why are your only toasting us two?”
“Because you two are the only ones at this table who aren’t related to me by blood.”
At that, Miranda’s expression changed dramatically, and the atmosphere in the hall became somewhat awkward.
Christopher and Susanna looked at her in shock
Miranda was sensitive and delicate by nature, terrified of any mention that she was adopted. Xan had always been considerate of her feelings, treating her publicly and privately as his own sister. Why would he say something like this today?
Ethan and Samuel also looked up, sensing that there was more to her words.
But the next second, she returned to her usual self,
If, “But you special toast.”

to me than anyone else, so I wanted to give you a Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Matthew and Miranda showed expressions of understanding.
Xanthea tilted her head back and downed her glass of red wine in one gulp.
She was toasting them for the last dinner they would have at the Nightshade family, and to the moment she could finally seek vengeance for herself and her family!
After the evening gathering dispersed, as Xanthea was about to go upstairs to rest, Oliver dragged her to the backyard to question her, “What’s going on with you and Orion? You’ve been fooling me until now, but today you owe me an explanation!”
Having had quite a few glasses of wine, Xanthea was slightly tipsy, “Uncle, you’ve been fooled up till now, one more day won’t make a difference. You’ll find out tomorrow night.”
“You!” Oliver tapped her on the head, “Have you gotten so used to joking around with me that you’re not scared at all?”
“Indeed, I’m not afraid, because you’re so nice to me. But I’m telling the truth, come over tomorrow night and you’ll see, cross my heart!”
Xanthea raised two fingers and made a swearing gesture like a good child. Oliver shook his head, helpless against her coquettish behavior, “Alright, Ill trust you one more time.”
“By the way, your participation in the Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night show was a huge success! Combined with the broadcast of Realm of Illusions, your popularity has soared and your commercial value has increased rapidly. Now, there are so many film and endorsement offers pouring in, practically piling up like a mountain at the agency. You should come by when you have time and pick a

all those resources?
She had initially entered the entertainment industry to outshine Isabella and gather the evidence..
Now that she had the evidence, was there any point in continuing?
“Xan? Xan? Are you drunk?”
Xanthea nodded, “A little.”
“Then I won’t say more. Tomorrow, Ryan will take you to the film set. Remember to bring a gift, Benjamin’s filming is wrapping up.”
“Sure.”
Realm of Illusions held special significance in her heart and created many bonds between her and Orion. She would complete the final scenes well.
“Go rest up, tipsy kitten”
“Goodnight, Uncle”
Xanthea staggered up the stairs, but as she approached her room, she quickened her pace. Finally, it was her private time!
Her phone had been damaged by ring and she needed to use her backup phone to call Orion!
But as soon as she pushed open her door with anticipation, she saw her older brother and Samuel sitting by her bed.
