NovelEnglishChapter 155 "Your phone blew up or something! I was so worried about you; I had people track your phone's IP all night. It ended up showing you were at the Marlowe Manor in Everglade! I drove seven hours straight to get here, and on the way, I've imagined all the terrible things that might've happened to you. Seeing you safe and sound now, I'm just so relieved, Xan. From now on, please letknow where you're going, okay? Don't makeworry again." Matthew's voice cracked with emotion, and he reached out to hug her, but Xanthea stopped him with a hand, "Uh, Matt, there are people around." "Oh, Fight, I got a bit carried away! So, Xan, let's head back to Crestwood. Your folks are waiting for you at home; they're worried sick!" "What? You told my parents?" "Yeah, I was freaking out last night; I called everyone I could think of." Xanthea rolled her eyes secretly. Great, now everyone must know about her embarrassing ordeal of being kidnapped by Orion.

Leonard, noticing him, shot an annoyed glance at the servants who had failed to stop Matthew, and then turned to Xanthea with a smile.
"Xan, why don't you stay for breakfast? Today's dishes are plenty, and they're cooked by Orion himself. I've been his friend for years and never had the pleasure of trying his homemade dishes. You're in for a treat!" At the mention of Orion's name, Matthew swiftly turned around, his face paling at the sight.
Orion! It really was him! He was actually here! As Oliver had said, Xan really did cwith him, No matter what had happened between them, after his heated accusations against Orion over the phone last night and his impulsive intrusion into the Marlowe Manor today, Xan definitely shouldn't stay for breakfast! "Xan, I picked up sfood on the way here, all your favorites. Let's head back before they get cold in the car." Just as Xanthea was about to speak, Leonard interjected, "Xan, you wouldn't denythis small courtesy, would you? Even if you won't do it for me, do it for the Sylvan Fox. Your vomit.spilled all over it last night when you were drunk, and on the way back, the silk got snagged. That dress is a total write-off now." "What?!" Xanthea was shocked, "The Sylvan Fox's ruined?" That was qne of Matilda's creations, part of the Forest Twelve Spirits Collection. Losing one piece didn't just mean the loss of millions of dollars; it diminished the value of the entire collection.

Leonard saw the guilt in her eyes and sighed, "That was a rare piece designed by Matilda, a real treasure.. such a pity. Now, there's no replacing it in the entire globe!" 1/2 Chapter 155
Matthew sensed an ulterior motive in his persistence, feeling consternated. He was obviously trying to guilt-trip Xan into staying, clearly harboring other purposes!
He was Orion's best buddy; the way 'm' he acted suggested something! sinister about Orion's intentions! * Chapter 156
