NovelEnglishChapter 167 It wasn't that he had chosen Isabella over her, but that he was concerned about her safety.
No wonder, no wonder he immediately applied ointment to her wounds as soon as they left the beach, no wonder he had paid such a high price to obtain the "Realm of Illusions" but sold it to her uncle for just $2 million.
All this time, she had misunderstood him.
Cedric handed her a tablet and played a video for her.

This is the surveillance footage from Glory Avenue that he had someone pull up. It recorded the whole ordeal with the fans causing trouble. The police have already identified them and dealt with them accordingly. Originally, they were supposed to apologize publicly to you and the whole community online, but since they are minors, we just recorded this video instead." Watching one fan after another bowing sincerely in apology on the video, Xanthea feft, a wave of regret and remorse flood her heart.
All this time, without her knowing, Orion had done so much for her, just like in a past life.
But what about her? Because of the audition, she had misunderstood him, disliked him, smashed his medication bottle, called him hypocritical and a pretender, and in every meeting afterwards, she hadn't shown him any kindness.
Cedric asked, “Ms. Nightshade, after seeing all this, do you still resent Mr. Lockwood?" Xanthea shook her head; her amber eyes misted with warm tears.
No, not at all.
She had never truly resented him; she was just angry.
He had avenged her enemies, shielded her from thugs, and pulled her from the depths of the lake; how could she possibly resent him? It was just that she had been betrayed by someone she dearly loved in a past life, which left a shadow over her heart; It made her like a startled bird, always afraid that the friends she valued and trusted most might suddenly turn against her, afraid that she was once again engaging in a one-sided affection.
But Orion was nothing like them..
With so many discrepancies and contradictions in front of her, why did she still doubt, still not believe, and still do so many things that hurt him! How could she be so foolish that she was unable to see clearly in a past life and still not seeing clearly in this life, and treated her benefactor like an enemy! Xanthea elenched her fists in regret, so much so that her nails dug into her skin.

"That night at Marlowe Manor when you passed out outside, it was Mr. Lockwood who carried you back."
"He stayed by your side all night. At dawn, he even went to make breakfast for you, sweet things. Viewing you like managed to get sEverglade blueberries, and while preparing, he injured his hands.
But,
Nightshade, you didn't even glance at it before leaving with Matthew with the way back to the city, Mr.
on Lockwood fell ill." "What?!" Xanthea stared at him in shock.
So, he was sick because of her?
She knew how terrible she could be when drunk; taking care of her ath night without a wink of sleep, and still making breakfast at dawn, was he crazy? Chapter 168
