Chapter 307
Orion noticed her downcast mood, “What’s wrong?”
“Orion, I’ve tried so hard and waited so long, but it was all for nothing”
“Isabella didn’t have the photos at all. She lied to me.”
Photos of Matthew and Miranda?”
“Yes,”
After she spoke, there was a prolonged silence.

Xanthea turned around, puzzled, only to see the unreadable expression beneath his long, dark lashes, “You went out in the rain because of this? Are these photos really that important to you?”
She did care about those photos, but she felt he was misunderstanding her!
“No, na! I went out in the rain because I was heartbroken, and I was worried you’d be even more heartbroken. I wanted those photos to expose their relationship, not because I cared about Matthew’s betrayal. You are the only one I care about!”
Her last words seemed to please him. Orion stopped drying her hair and looked at Xanthea intensely, “Really?”
“Really, I swear!”
“Good.” He slightly smirked, picking up a remote control, “Watch this video,”
A video?
Xanthes looked towards the large screen across the room, completely unprepared for what she saw next–a scandalous clip of Matthew and Miranda entangled in bed. She jumped up from the sofa in shock
“What is this?”
After the initial shock came an unbelievable joy
“Where did you get this video?”
“After the explosion during the Realm of Illusions audition, I had someone investigate the truth behind the incident. I suspected your sister was involved, so I had a PI keep an eye on her. This video was taken the day before you joined that variety show.”
“The explosion during the audition”
He had been secretly investigating all along?
And he even managed to get such crucial evidence for her.
Tears welled up in Xanthea’s eyes, a mix of gratitude and guilt overwhelming her.
“Orion, thank you, thank you so much”
She threw herself into his arms, hugging his solid waist tightly, overwhelmed with emotion.
Orion was momentarily taken aback by her sudden, intimate embrace. He frowned slightly and softly rubbed her hair, “Xannie, if you keep this up, I might lose control.”
Xanthea glanced down, glancing down at his perfectly pressed suit pants, then bit her lip and whispered in his eat “Ori, it must have been hard for you to hold back, right?”
At her words, a spark ignited in Orion’s dark eyes, tearing open his tightly controlled desire within him.
Did this little minx know what she was saying?
Orion gripped her chin, but before he could speak, Xanthea tiptoed up, wrapping her arms around his neck to kiss him, “I don’t want you to puffer so much”
His dark eyes blazed with a wild fire, which was boiling over, but as he pulled her close against him, he still managed to restrain himself.
“You’ve got a cold.”
Xanthea’s lashes fluttered, her misty eyes shimmering with a seductive glow, “I may have a cold, but there are things we can do that aren’t too Ah
She was cut off as he pressed her firmly onto the sofa.
His reason had been teetering op the edge of collapse, and now it was gone.
His hands roamed over her smooth, fair skin, trailing up her breathtaking legs. Then he stopped suddenly and said with a hunky barely recognizable voice, “You’re hot wearing anything?”

Xanthea’s cheeks burned with embarrassment, “Yeah, it got wet in the rain.”
Orion’s eyes, dark as pitch, flashed dangerously, nearly ready to devour her whole.
The little vixen, she was just asking for it,
