Chapter 348
Samuel was halfway through his sentence when he got interrupted. He looked bewildered, “What?”
Xanthea also looked puzzled at Orion.
Onon pulled out his phone and played a recording.
1. g. It was their conversation.
Honestly, I don’t like Matthew at all. He’s foolish, cowardly, with all the wrong intentions. He’s unambitious, and from top to bottom, inside and out, there’s nothing about him that matches Xan. Well, I shouldn’t say that. In my eyes, no man on this Earth good enough for Xan. If it were you, you might just be enough to match her.”
Really?
Really!
No take backs
What’s there to take back?”
As Xanthea listened to the recording, her eyes filled with surprise and joy.
“When did this happen? So, Samuel, you’ve approved of me and Orion?”
Samuel was caught off guard by the recording. His face went through a series of colors–pale, then dark, and finally a sickly green; quite a spectacular sight to behold.
This was something he had casually said to comfort Orion, and he never expected it to be recorded and used against him. This man was truly cunning!
“Orion, you’re quite the strategist, recording our conversation like that!”
Orion humbly replied, “I was just recording Xan, and it just so happened that you showed up, Samuel.”
“I told you not to call me Samuel. Who do you think you are!”
Watching Samuel so flustered and angry, Xanthea ran over and clung to Orion’s arm, “Samuel, a gentleman’s word is his bond, you taught me that since I was little. You can’t go back on your word now. Otherwise, your image in my heart will be ruined!”
Samuel was left speechless, his face tuming red with frustration. Confronted with his own words, he couldn’t argue and had to shift his focus.
“So, does that mean you two can be all lovey dovey here?!” He glared at Xanthea holding onto Orion’s arm, fuming with rage. “And dare to do it right in front of me.”
Xanthea quickly let go of her arms on Orion.
“Xan, recite the rules of Nightshade family, Article 23!”
“Article 23, specifically for Xan: As a young lady of the family, before marriage, she must not have intimate contact with any man, including hugging, holding hands, kissing, etc., even if he is her boyfriend. If caught, she must face thirty lashes and be confined to a small dark room, for a duration depending on the severity
Xanthea lowered her head and recited the rule, looking aggrieved.
Listening to the harsh rule, Orion’s brows furrowed.
Given what he had done with Xan, she’d be locked up for a long time.
“Would marriage solve it?”
He suddenly asked, leaving Samuel stunned. His eyes nearly popped out, “What did you say?”
He had just found out about their relationship, and now Orion wanted to marry her? He was even bolder than Matthew!
#717”
Xanthea was also shocked.
But in her heart, she was touched. Ori was willing to suggest marriage to protect her from punishment!
“Samuel”
Xanthea pouted and used her ultimate weapon against Samuel, acting all cutesy, “You can’t tell Mom and Dad or Big Brother about tonight. They will definitely punish me! Do you really want to see me get whipped? The whip is so thick, and my skin so delicate, it will tear and bleed.”

Before she could finish, the lights by the lake suddenly lit up, revealing Christopher, Susanna, and Ethan not far away, staring at them in
shock.
“Ah
Xanthea gasped, her entire body collapsing into Orion’s arms.
When had they arrived?
Meeting Onion in the middle of the night and getting caught by her whole family–this was the ultimate embarrassment. She wanted to
die!
Let her go; she wanted to jump into the lake!
