Chapter 373 

Oliver: “Just so happens I’m at your door. Come and open it for me.” 

“What?!” Xanthea panicked. “You’re at the door right now?” 

“Yeah, am I not welcome?” 

“Of course, you’re welcome! It’s just terribly unfortunate timing, I left half an hour ago, so it might be…” 

*Inconvenient, huh?” Oliver understood, “Well, let Orion take the phone then.” 

“Sure!” 

Xanthea instinctively agreed, then realized what did she just agree to?! 

Orion, who had been playfully nipping at her neck, paused slightly, his eyes dazed, and called out, “Uncle.” 

Xanthea glared at him furiously. “T” Who allowed him to call out? 

And that deep, husky voice, like someone talking the morning after a night out. This scheming fox did it on purpose! 

“Orion, I had a hunch it was you.” 

“Uncle, listen, 1-‘ 

“Alright, Xan, stop lying” Oliver laughed, “Tve watched you grow up. Do you really think I can’t tell when you’re telling the truth or not?” 

This was it. She was done forl 

He knew she and Orion had spent the night together, breaking over a hundred rules of the Nightshade family. He was definitely going to scold her! 

Xanthea felt like a withered flower, hanging her head low waiting for the scolding, but to her surprise, Oliver offered her comfort. 

“Don’t worry, I’ve got a tight lip. But when you’re with the Lockwoods, you’ve got to be on your best behavior. Listen to Orion, especially in front of the elders. Don’t act spoiled and lose the demeanor of a lady from a respectable family.” 

Xanthea: “?” 

Not only was Uncle not scolding her, but he was also advising her to be obedient? What kind of sweet talk had Orion given him to eam such trust? 

“Yeah, yeah, I’m very well–behaved. I’ll listen to whatever Orion says!” 

Hearing this, Orian squinted his eyes and lightly tickled the little liar’s waist as punishment. Xanthea nearly burst into laughter, but held his hand and mouthed, “Don’t move, or I’ll bite you!” 

Bite him?

He’d welcome it. 

“Good. By the way, I called to discuss work.” Oliver continued, “Director Smith mentioned that you and Benjamin didn’t show up at the celebration party last night?” 

“Benjamin didn’t go either?” 

As soon as Xanthea spoke, she felt a sharp nip on her neck. Orion’s teeth pressed against her skin, as if a wolf was holding a little bunny by the neck, ready to tear at any mention of “Benjamin.” 

This jealous man, flipping out at the slightest provocation! 

“Yes, you both stood Director Smith up, and he was quite upset. So, I’ve arranged for you to do a live stream tomorrow to make it up to him.” 

“Live stream?” 

“At the Glory Building. It’s mostly Q&A with fans and some interaction with the host, promoting Realm of Illusions. Nothing too stressful. I’ll send you the details on the location and time later. 

Xanthea lowered her eyes, looking at the sly fox staring intently at her, “is the Movie King going? If he’s going. I won’L”
