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.

“Who’s that over there?”

“I don’t know. Let’s check it out!”

“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.

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.”
