Chapter 247 Xanthea quickly showered and, clutching her clothes, ste pped out as if guarding against a thief, keeping a wary eye on Isabella, Isabella, grinding her teeth in imitation, "Xanthea, I'm warning you-stop looking atlike that. I'm not a lesbian, nor am I a pervert!" "You better not be." *Please, get over yourself. You think you're a goddess to everyone? As if every man and woman is falling at your feet!" Xanthea observed Isabella's flustered attempts to clear her name; her behavior didn't seem typical of her accusations, but the way Isabella had eyed her at the bathroom door was unmistakably lecherous. The last person who looked at her like that was Orion, and he definitely had less than proper intentions! "Peeking atwhile I shower, and you're unapologetic?" "H just happened to be passing by." "She got sbeef with you or what?" Olivia watched the bickering with the amusement. Xanthea didn't want to divulge more, merely responding with a grunt.
"Don't mind her, she's always been the bossy type, looking down on everyone." Xanthea felt Olivia was merely provoking her, and chose not to engage.

"Rather than wasting energy on these baseless suspicions, you should just go to sleep." "Yeah, I'm heading to bed now. But really, for a lady of the Nightshade Group, who is used to luxury, can you handle this rickety old bed? Don't spend all night tossing and tuming!" Xanthea rolled her eyes and climbed into bed, only to realize immediately that the conditions were indeed tough Was this even a bed? It felt more like a slab of rough-cut lumber. Even through several layers of sheets, the coarse texture was undeniable.
Isabella burst into laughter upon seeing her reaction, thinking Xanthea was all talk but crumbled at the slightest discomfort.
"Sleep tight, Princess!" With a smirk, Isabella tumed in for the night. At 10 PM, lights out, and Olivia and Rachel also drifted to sleep. Meanwhile, Xanthea lay miserably on the uncomfortable bed. The odd, sharp smell of the blankets filled her nostrils as she tossed and turned, finding sleep elusive.
Isabella's jinx had actually worked This was torture! Her body was probably bruised all over by now.
After nearly two hours of trying to fall asleep, just as Xanthea was about to drift off... who was snoring?! At midnight, Realm of Illusions aired on major streaming platforms, occupying headlines and pop-up banners, attracting all-nighters and enthusiasts alike.
