After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 125

Dominic remained silent.

Owen nodded in sudden realization. “No wonder I thought her face and demeanor resembled Melinda and Oliver so strongly…” He abruptly looked at Dominic. “You knew all along, didn’t you?”

Dominic nodded. He had known since the first time his son George brought Louisa home.

“So you don’t want them to divorce because you want to keep Louisa under your control?” Owen asked.

Dominic tacitly agreed.

Owen smiled coldly. “In the past, when she loved your son, you might have controlled her. But now that she no longer loves him, how can you still control her? Don’t forget how Oliver died. You were one of those responsible for his death…”

“Enough!” Dominic thundered.

Owen knew he didn’t want to revisit that history, but continued, “Maybe she doesn’t know her background now, but someday she will. You

and I both had a hand in her parents‘ deaths. Your original plan is useless now.”

“What do you propose?” Dominic looked up at him.

“An alliance between the Capulet and Price families remains the best option,” Owen said. “The previous collaboration between our companies has been stuck without financing. Caden and George haven’t found a solution, but I’ve secured a new investor. However, they want assurance our alliance is solid.

*If you convince your son to divorce, and get my daughter released from jail, we can spread the news to convince them.

“As for these…” Owen pushed the new contract toward him. “The terms still stand.”

Dominic didn’t move, his gaze falling on the contract.

Owen pressed his advantage. “Not only can we save the previous project, but George will also gain these benefits. If anything goes wrong later, the Capulet Group and Price Group will face it together. You have nothing to lose.”

Dominic didn’t answer immediately. He knew Louisa couldn’t be kept, and Owen’s terms were indeed tempting.

After a long moment, he nodded. “Deal,”

George woke up thinking about yesterday’s events and immediately prepared to find Louisa.

The fact that she was now “living with Julian, and their unusual relationship, gave him a strong sense of crisis. He couldn’t leave his wife

with Julian.

Just as he was about to leave, he received a call from his father.

‘Come home now,” Dominic ordered.

“What for?” George’s tone was extremely impatient.

His attitude made Dominic want to hit him. But Dominic wasn’t Hazel. He still commanded the presence of a powerful man and the

authority of a father. As long as it didn’t involve Louisa, George wouldn’t lose control.

He returned home. As soon as he entered, he saw Dominic and Owen sitting together in the living room. He immediately understood what was happening and turned to leave.

“Stop right there!” Dominic shouted.

George ignored him.

“Stop him!” Dominic commanded, furious with his son.

Instantly, over a dozen bodyguards appeared in front of George. They blocked his path, and two of them closed the living room doors.

George was trapped.

He turned to face Dominic, his expression cold enough to freeze water. “If you want to talk about divorce, save your breath. I won’t

divorce her. Not even if it kills me.”

“If you won’t divorce her, what about the Capulet Group? Are you abandoning the company too?”

“What does this have to do with the company?”

“You’re absent from the office for days because of her. If you’re going to be this lovesick, I might as well replace you as CEO!” Dominic slammed his fist on the table, his authority undeniable,

Owen seized the moment. “George, your father has a point. With wealth and power, you can have any woman you want. Without them, what will you use to win the women you desire?”

“Stop with the fear–mongering,” George insisted defiantly. “This is just an excuse to make me divorce her. The Capulet Group is fine! There’s no problem!”

Dominic laughed coldly. “Fine? Do you know how much we lose every day the Capulet–Price project is on hold? How long has it been stalled now? Have you calculated those losses?”

George was speechless. He knew the project couldn’t wait, but since the Capulet family was financially strong, a temporary halt wasn’t

Dominic softened his approach, speaking earnestly, “Owen has found a sofities are if you discos Lonica, this prisent can move forwant Besides, Lovisa has no feelings for you anymore. What’s the point of karging her? Better to dinnce her and resne the curent faves

Impossible George declared firmly. I will never divorce hert just forget

Seeing his son’s attitude, Dominic rubbed his temples. How had he raised such a sentimental son?

“George, don’t be rash, Owen tried to reason with him. This is for-

“For what? George looked at him coldly. It sounds nice–for the Capulet Group, for cooperation. You think I don’t know what you e after? You want me to trade my wife for your daughter. Let me tell you–forget it! Absolutely not

Owen, a company director, was angered by this disrespect from someone younger. “George, don’t be angrateful if I can’t get my daughter

released, I’ll make Louisa join her in deathr

Suddenly, the entire living room fell silent.

The Price family had their own connections and influence. They hadn’t reached their position by being deen. George believed they could follow through on the threat.

He stared coldly at Owen. Fine. If you dare touch my wife, I’ll make your entire Price family pay with their livest

Dominic and Owen were livid, their temples throbbing with anger.

George turned and left without another word

Now he only wanted to find Louisa. Nobody could stop him.

He hadn’t expected that, as he neared Cozy Community, Jared would suddenly call.

George didn’t want to answer, but a call from Jared must be about company business.

“What is it?” George picked up.

“Mr. Capulet, please come to the office immediately,” Jared said urgently. “We have problems with two projects.”
