Chapter 308
Underneath the Twin Towers, Isabella was having a tough conversation with the receptionist for the umpteenth time without success. She stomped her foot in frustration, “I’m an artist with Starlight Medial Why can’t I go upstairs?
Sorry, Ms. Taylor, only individuals with a Twin Towers employee pass are allowed to enter the building.”
“Then why did Xanthea get to go in just now?”
The receptionist remained silent, offering no response to her query.

Pleage, can’t you make an exception? I really have an urgent matter.”
Isabella had secretly followed Xanthea to the Twin Towers, her heart heavy as she watched Xanthea looking utterly devastated in tears, as if pushed to the brink of despair. She feared Xanthea might do something drastic.
Now, being blocked in the lobby, her phone drenched and unusable from the rain, she couldn’t reach anyone. What should she do?
As she anxiously wondered what to do, she noticed a phone on the reception desk,
“May I use the phone, please?”
“Sure.”

Her attempts to break free were futile against his firm grip.

Orion opened his blood–red eyes and bit down on her soft, smooth neck, holding her like a wolf with a whimpering fax in its jaws. His gaze was fierce and predatory, “Samuel?”
“Yes, Cedric’s knocking outside. He might come in any moment now. Let me go, or we’ll be caught!”
Her fear of being discovered made him even more relentless; his dark pupils became ominously intense, “Are you afraid your family will find out about us? How about I just hold you like this when we meet Samuel?”
Xanthea was shocked, her jaw nearly dropped,
What nonsense was he spouting? Had he lost his mind?
