After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Sadie felt disgusted by Lily’s greed and was about to flatly refuse her request when Madame Raven beat her

to it.

With a swift motion, she removed an old silver bead bracelet from her own wrist, her tone as

compassionate as a saint’s, “Child, let’s help her completely.”

Sadie fell silent. Next door, Louisa and Julian were equally speechless. Wasn’t this just end–of–month sales

quota pushing?

Sadie reluctantly played along, sighing dramatically, “Madame Raven, your kindness knows no bounds!

Your love is limitless!”

Lily’s face lit up with joy as she tearfully accepted the bracelet. Afraid they might change their minds, she immediately pulled out her phone and transferred a sixty–million–dollar donation.

Then, still reeking of pig blood and meat scraps, she left, even arranging to return in ten days for a follow-

up consultation.

Madame Raven nodded with a gentle smile. “I’ll find more solutions for you by then.”

Clearly, she intended to milk this cash cow for all it was worth. Sixty million dollars just like that–any

easier ways to earn money?

“Is it too late for me to change careers?” Louisa couldn’t help muttering.

Julian’s mouth twitched slightly. She already had four billion from her ex–husband and her current boss’s unlimited black card. Wasn’t that enough? How money–obsessed could one person be?

Catching his judgmental look, Louisa could only offer an embarrassed smile.

Meanwhile, Sadie wiped sweat from her forehead, grabbed a bottle of water from somewhere, and gulped it down. The bottle was empty in seconds.

She tossed it aside casually and turned to Madame Raven, “Wasn’t my idea better than yours? Your hands must be sore from counting all that money today.”

Madame Raven slowly opened her eyes–the old woman had played her part more convincingly than

anyone.

She nodded with a satisfied smile. “Ms. Watson, you have a gift for this. Would you consider working with me? Fifty–fifty split, how about it?”

But Sadie showed no interest, shrugging. “No thanks. I prefer getting justice for the vulnerable.” She was here to help her friend, not for the money.

Madame Raven didn’t push, spreading her hands. “Fine. You pursue your justice, I’ll count my cash. We each get what we want. Pleasure doing business.”

“Pleasure indeed.”

While the two top–tier “psychics” continued their “professional exchange,” Julian had already led Louisa

back to the waiting room.

They had barely sat down when an assistant in a black dress entered.

“Your turn now. Please follow me.”

Louisa frowned. What was left to do? Wasn’t everything finished?

“Since we’re here, we might as well go through with it,” Julian said calmly.

Louisa reluctantly followed, with the other four trailing behind. The show must go on, after all.

The assistant led them to another room. The previous one, ruined by pig blood and meat scraps, had been replaced with clean, elegant furnishings.

Madame Raven sat behind a velvet–covered table. Sadie was nowhere to be seen.

The six of them took their seats.

“What would you like to ask?” Madame Raven offered a kind yet mysterious smile.

None of them believed in this nonsense and hadn’t planned to ask anything.

Louisa was about to make up some trivial question when a smooth, deep voice with an unmistakable hint of amusement spoke up:

“My love fortune.”

Louisa froze. Everyone fell silent.

They all turned to Julian, expressions a mixture of surprise and bewilderment. Love fortune? How did he

say that with such a straight face?

Louisa put her head in her hands. Julian, who are you trying to shock?‘

“Love fortune, I see,” Madame Raven said languidly. “Write down your birth date and time, please.”

She pushed paper and pen across the table.

Julian didn’t move, looking at Louisa instead. “Write it for me.”

Louisa mentally rolled her eyes. Was he always this bossy? How was she supposed to know his birth time?

She wasn’t his mother.

“Go on,” Julian said quietly.

Exasperated, Louisa walked over and wrote down a random date.

Madame Raven glanced at it, closed her eyes, and gently rubbed a silver talisman. Her expression turned confident. “Hmm… I understand. Mr. Tudor you have someone in your heart–love unfulfilled. How painful.”

This ambiguous statement made everyone turn toward Julian.

Flora leaned close to Louisa’s ear and whispered, “This psychic has some skills.”

Louisa remained silent. Skills? This was clearly a standard trick.

Most people seeking love advice already had someone in mind–they came for reassurance because they

were uncertain.

This was the psychic’s psychological suggestion technique–using vague but seemingly precise words to draw out the client’s story.

Surely Julian saw through this?

Lost in thought, she suddenly turned and met a pair of intensely deep eyes.

“Ms. Forbes,” he said with a smile playing at his lips, “Madame Raven says I suffer from unrequited love. What do you think?”

Louisa nearly lost her mind–This

Wasn’t true! She had made up that birthdate!

Yet under his gaze, she felt breathless–as if he were suggesting that she was the one he loved without return. That couldn’t be possible.

But the more she denied it, the stronger her intuition grew, making her soul tremble.

Julian, seeing her reaction, pressed on, “Ms. Forbes, do you think she’s right?”

“P–probably,” she stammered.

The other five were struggling not to laugh, their faces reddening. ‘Julian, could you be any more obvious?

Louisa felt like she might suffocate, desperately wanting to push his face away–stop looking at her like that. It was making her heart race.

Julian finally looked away, turning to Madame Raven, “So, is there a solution?”
