Chapter 128 "I asked you to play along, not to get carried away! Who gave you permission to actually kiss me?" Xanthea frantically wiped her hand while glowering at him.

She had never been kissed by a man before. Wait a minute! She almost forgot, that night at the Rlan Hotel, not only did he kiss and hold her, but he also touched her, stealing many of her firsts! Back then he was drunk, but now sober, he still dared to take advantage! He was nothing but a thorough scoundrel! "It makes it look real," Orion glanced towards the direction Queenie had run off to and offered Xanthea a handkerchief. "Ms. Nightshade, are you not pleased with the outcome?" Xanthea caught his suggestive gaze and thought, "So it's all my fault, is that it? If he hadn't been flirting around and leading on every girl in sight, would I have needed to resort to such drastic measures to fend off his little admirer?" Really? After all this, he still claimed it was all an act? Leonard stared at the photo on his phone of Orion tenderly kissing Xanthea's hand, already calculating the hefty price Orion would have to pay to secure it.

"Pleased, very pleased!" Xanthea gritted her teeth and snatched the handkerchief, rubbing the neatly folded, expensive fabric into a crumpled mess on her hand.

"Mr. Lockwood, your acting is so convincing, you could win an Oscar!" "Not as good as yours, Xan." Orion spoke and headed upstairs.

Xanthea stood frozen for a few seconds before realizing what he had said.

Xan? Ugh! How revolting! She shuddered, her skin crawling with goosebumps.

He was not only despicable and shameful but also petty and vindictive.All she did was tease his little admirer by calling him 'Ori, and this was his response.

But true, 'Ori did sound quite sickening! "Tsk tsk," Leonard watched his retreating figure and shook his head. "You two really know how to play." "Don't start with that nonsense!" Xanthea protested innocently. "There's nothing babyish about it, we're just... Just acting" Just acting Leopard finished for her, "No need to explain, I get it. But what about that hickey on his neck? 1/2 Chapter 128 Looks fresh, must have been left recently, right? Orion drove here today, don't tellyou guys were playing around in the car." "Enough!" Xanthea cut off his increasingly wild and inappropriate speculations. "Believe it or not, it wasn't a hickey, it was a mark of my victory!" A mark of victory? It was the first tLeonard had heard such a description and couldn't help but laugh, picturing the scene in his mind.

No wonder Xanthea looked so reluctant earlier; she had beenforcefully brought into the fray. Impressive, after all this time, the secret admirer Orion had started to enforce his love.

"I've always heard that you are a woman of great intelligence, the top scholar of Crestwood Hall Academy. ve Seeing you today, I can say your reputation is well-deserved! Your reaction and acting earlier, even almost believed it was real,"

If it were anyone else insulted by Queenie, they would either have a public outburst or just walk away. But Xanthea responded with a smile, En using the simplest yet most devastating method to hit back at Queenie, extinguishing her hopes as well. Truly, a silent killer in action. 7.
