Chapter 215
Was the photo meant to misguide?
So it was actually like this.
He should have seen it, but when those photos were laid out in front of him, raging jealousy completely burned away his reasoning. Seeing the man walk out of her room, tenderly stroking her hair, he was seized with the desire to tear him apart alive!
“Xan.”
“I’m so sorry, Xan.”
“Orion frowned, holding her tightly with waves of remorse flooded over him, drowning his entire heart.
Hearing him call her by “Xan,” Xanthea knew he believed her now.
She had intended to let bygones be bygones, but recalling his frightening demeanor just moments ago, she couldn’t help but pout, feigning tears.
“I had such a tough day at the drama set, struggling with the emotional scenes, getting scolded by the director, and then listening to lectures all night long. My head’s spinning, my body’s exhausted, and now I have to endure your baseless accusations. Why is this happening to me….
“Xan, I’m sorry, so sorry.”
Orion cupped her distressed little face, mechanically repeating his apologies.
“I was wrond.”
“I must have been crazy to say those things. Can you forgive me? I’ll do whatever you ask. Could you? Xan”
His deep, dark eyes shimmered with unmatched regret, as if he’d rip his heart out for her forgiveness.
Xanthea lowered her hands, captivated by the earnestness in his gaze, “Really?”
“Really.”
“Will you ever misunderstand me again?”
“Never again. From now on, I’ll only listen to Xan, only believe Xan.”
Is he really being so good?
A smile broke across Xanthea’s face, “Well, I might just find it within me to forgive
you.
“Xan.”
Orion closed his eyes, hugging her deeply, longing to merge her into his essence.
His Xan, how she could be so wonderful.
“By the way, where did these photos come from?”
“Someone from your crew named April took them. I’ll make her regret it.”
His chilling sinister voice made Xanthea’s skin crawl.

If it were anyone else, she might have dismissed it as an empty threat, but having murder, she knew he was capable of making it a reality.

“Don’t do that, she’s playing Vivian in ‘Realm of Illusions, and the shoot isn’t even finished yet. We can’t afford any mishaps.”
“Fine, we’ll wait until the shooting wraps up, all according to Xan’s wishes.”
“I didn’t ask you to do anything bad! Just follow the legal procedure after a thorough investigation. I’m just puzzled, I have no quarrel with her.”
As Xanthea was about to examine the photos again, she noticed she was still in Orion’s tight embrace, close their chests almost blended.
“?!?”
Why was she still hugging him?
She
recoiled and tried to push him away, but he was too strong.
“What’s wrong?”
Orion sensed her movement and looked down with a slight confusion.
Taking advantage of his loosened grip, she moved back, keeping a safe distance, “No–nothing, just a bit hot, no, I mean, hungry.”
Strange, why was her face so hot, and her tongue tied in knots, utterly uncontrollable?
“I’ll whip up some snacks.”
“Oh, you don’t have to, I’ve got snacks at home. I’ll just go back.”
Before Xanthea could object, he was already setting instructions on the smart screen-“Master instruction received: Child lock enabled.”
Her eyes widened as he finished setting it up and headed to the kitchen.
“Watch TV for a bit, I’ll be quick.”
Wait, what does that mean?
Did he think she was blind? So this so–called smart door lock feature was deliberately set by him?
And here he was, setting it right in front of her, outright ignoring her presence!
Although she hadn’t planned on leaving anyway.
Xanthea grimaced towards the kitchen, then picking up the photos scattered on the floor.
From her first day on set giving Benjamin a gift, to today’s ride with him to Sunset Hills Estates, every Interaction had been captured. This April sure put a lot of effort into it.
They had no grievances, why did she do it?
Was she trying to sabotage her? Planning to release these photos to ruin her reputation once the show aired, then overshadow her with the role of the second female lead?
Weil, that’s pretty low. Fortunately, Orion had intercepted them.
