Chapter 344 The Nightshade Estate, study room "Knock, knock, knock." "Cin.
Ethan pushed open the door and saw Samuel buried in a pile of messy documents. "Samuel, it's so late, and you're still working?" "There seems to be trouble with the company." "What kind of trouble?" "It's not us, it's the Martinez Group. Rumors had it that over fifty of their shareholders have vanished mysteriously today, and even their families can't reach them. It seems that they've vanished to the splace. "Moreover, James just found out that the 53% of the group's initially held by Matthew have been siphoned off bit by bit by his uncle under the guise of financing. Now that Matthew is in trouble, those shares are definitely not recoverable. I'm worried." "Worried that the Martinez Group's stock will plummet and drag our company down with it?" "We've had a very close partnership with the Martinez Group, especially this year, with Xan's tying us together in many uninitiated projects.
Samuel clenched his fists in frustration.

But what worriesmore is that someone might take advantage of the situation, tuming the Martinez Group into a hollowed out shell company. Such a blow would be fatal to us!" He could already sense this mysterious and powerful force behind this, but who was it? And what was their goal? "Alright, don't overthink it. I go o with you to the Martinez Group tomorrow, and well sort this out" "Okay" Samuel nodded. Ethan walked over and turned off the desk lamp. "There's been a lot going on at hand at the company these past few days. Have a good rest, and don't overwork." Tknow.
As they spoke of hmatters, Samuel suddenly remembered Xan's unusual behavior at dinner earlier. But his mind was preoccupied with the Martinez Group, so he hadn't given it much thought.
"Bro, did you notice Xan at dinner seemed a bit distracted?" "More than just a bit. Considering what's happened, it's natural for her to be upset. I was actually surprised that she's been surprisingly composed Just give her stto process.
*Upset?" "Yeah" Ethan frowned slightly. "Even though Matthew was a jerk, Xan genuinely loved him." "I thought I heard her crying in the bathroom this noon. When she cout, she pretended to be indifferent and cheerful, I asked Ryan to keep an eye on her mood, but he didn't tell anything was wrong." "What?" Samuel stood up in shock.
Xan had told him she wasn't sad and even seemed happy in the morning, but then she turned around and cried alone in the bathroom! So, she had been lying about not being sad! "No, I have to check on her!" "She's asleep now. Don't disturb her." "But I need to see for myself." Samuel hurriedly closed his documents and rushed to the second floor, only to see the light in Xanthea's room was off.
Was she really asleep? He pressed his ear to the door and heard Zora's voice, "Young master, what are you doing?" "Shh!" Samuel was startled and quickly shushed her. "Xan's asleep, don't wake her." Zora chuckled, “Impossible. Miss is in the backyard right now" "What?" Samuel straightened up slowly. "The backyard? What is she doing there?" 15:32 "She said she was going to admire the flowers.
"Admire the flowers?" It was nearly autumn, and the irises in the yard she loved had long withered. What flowers were there to admire? Not to mention in this late hour. Was she crying secretly again? "Young master?" Zora wanted to say more, but Samuel had already rushed downstairs.
At Lakeside Manor, under the cascading willow branches, a couple's embrace grew more fervent.

Despite Xanthea's protests, her voice, soft and enticing, only spurce@drion op untillal "Crack" broke the moment. Xanthea tumed her face slightly, snapping out of her daze, realizing the railing behind her was about to break! Was she about to fall into the lake? "Orion, Orion, the railing is about to break!"
She desperately pounded on him, but he didn't wake up. She resignedm herself to hearing the rotting railing fall into the water with a splash, and her body was about to fall as well. "Ah- At the critical moment, Orion lifted her, using his strength to press her against a nearby tree.
Having experienced falling into the water before, Xanthea was drenched in cold sweat. She hit his chest with feigned irritation, but the man merely groaned comfortably into her dense curls. "Xannie, my Xannic, so sweet, so soft, so fragrant" "And you're still going on about that? You almost madefall into the water!" "With your hubby here, Xannie wouldn't never fall into the water." "What did you just say?!" Xanthea's eyes widened, her delicate face blushing deeply like the shy moon reflected in the lake.
