My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Chapter 482

Outside the quiet, towering wrought–iron gates of Xanthea Haven Estate, Isabella watched from a distance as Orion and Xanthea embraced lovingly amidst a sea of irises, their sweet kisses painting a scene straight out of a fairy tale, reminiscent of a prince and princess in love. Silently, she put on her sunglasses.

“Xanthea,” she thought, “may your marriage be filled with joy and lifelong companionship.”

“Who’s that over there?”

“I don’t know. Let’s check it out!”

Two patrolling security guards spotted her and quickly approached.

“Hello, can I ask who this is?”

“Just passing by.”

Before they could say more, Isabella was ready to leave. The guards exchanged a look and both stepped in front of her.

Today was Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood’s wedding day, and the estate was surrounded by top–tier security. Not a single mistake could be afforded. The person in front of them was cloaked in a baseball cap, a face mask, and sunglasses; aside from her incognito state, she also seemed to have been lurking around and peeking from a distance, which was just too suspicious!

“You don’t have the right.”
