After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 333

The girl shook her head and said softly, “I don’t want to say anything. I just wanted to thank you for helping my grandmother and me.

Louisa let out a quiet laugh. “You don’t need to thank me. I didn’t really help you with anything–I can’t get you justice, and I can’t give

you any real answers.”

Julian said that all life is precious. But in the face of capital, “justice” was just an empty word floating in the air.

If she didn’t have Julian backing her up, she never would have dared to rush forward like that today without a second thought.

She sighed and looked up at Julian. “Julian, do you have any cash on you?”

Julian nodded to Teddy.

Teddy immediately pulled a stack of cash from his bag and handed it to Louisa. “This is about fifteen thousand dollars. If it’s not enough,

I can go to the bank–I saw one outside.”

“It’s fine, that should be enough.”

The other party was just a young girl, and Louisa didn’t want to overwhelm her.

Louisa took the money and turned to the little girl. “You saw what happened today. The person who hit you and your grandmother isn’t ordinary–you probably won’t be able to get justice for your grandmother. Take this money and go home with her as soon as possible.”

As she spoke, Louisa pressed the money into the little girl’s hands.

The girl quickly waved her hands. “No, miss, you’ve already helped my grandmother and me. I can’t take your money too.”

“You might not need it, but your grandmother does, right? She needs money for medical treatment, doesn’t she? Take the money and go to the hospital with your grandmother for a proper checkup.”

After some patient persuasion, the little girl accepted the money.

Only then did Louisa leave with Julian.

On the way back, Teddy drove while Louisa transferred the money back to Julian.

No matter what their relationship was now, she didn’t want to take his money without explanation. She wanted their feelings for each other to be pure and clean, untainted by any financial interests.

Julian understood her personality and accepted the transfer.

Louisa asked him, “That Angelina–didn’t you say her parents dote on her? How could they leave someone with mental problems in

George’s care?”

It hadn’t been long since her divorce from George, and she was certain that before the divorce, George didn’t know Angelina.

Even if George had met Angelina during this time, they’d barely known each other. With Angelina being intellectually disabled, what

parents would leave such a daughter with a man they’d just met?

Julian was silent for a moment, his voice carrying a hint of mockery. “Probably to rope George into the business association.”

“But there’s no need to…” sacrifice their own daughter, right?

Did the Getty family really need George’s connections that badly?

Louisa found the whole thing bizarre–nothing a normal person would do.

The world of crazy people was truly incomprehensible.

So she stopped asking.

She didn’t even want to think about George anymore.

Julian didn’t seem inclined to continue the topic either.

He reached out and ruffled Louisa’s hair. “Alright, let’s not worry about other people’s business. Our Louisa did a good deed today–let me

treat you to dinner, okay?”

“How is this a good deed?”

Louisa muttered under her breath.

She knew Julian was trying to comfort her.

While Noah was the one who actually crashed into Angelina’s car, she had told the police during questioning that she was the one who

told Noah to do it.

The Getty family would naturally blame her for this.

She was lucky Angelina wasn’t injured today–otherwise, wouldn’t Gareth and Lorelei hunt her down to the ends of the earth?

She definitely didn’t consider this a good deed.

Julian seemed to see through her thoughts. “Think about it from another angle. When you see someone driving recklessly on the road, hitting pedestrians and frightening people, anyone with a conscience and a sense of justice would try to stop them as you did. You greatly

reduced potential casualties.”

He paused, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. “You know what they say, right? To save one life is to save the entire world. Your

timely intervention might have saved many lives–that’s no small thing, is it?”

His patient tone was like teaching a child.

But Louisa wasn’t a child.

She turned to look at him. “But didn’t you say that when there’s a huge power gap, you should protect yourself first, then make plans? Is

preserving yourself the wisest choice? Now you’re saying you can act without considering consequences–isn’t that contradictory?”

She hadn’t forgotten what Julian had told her before.

Teddy, driving in front, heard this and suppressed a laugh. ‘His future boss lady isn’t so easily fooled. Mr. Tudor, let’s see how you handle

this one.‘

Julian remained calm, looking at Louisa with smiling eyes. “You remember what I told you before so clearly?”

He looked pleased.

Under the gaze of those eyes, Louisa’s heartbeat quickened several beats.

Julian was trying to seduce her again.

She steadied herself and asked, “So how do you explain it now?”

Julian reached out and pulled her onto his lap, saying slowly, “When there’s a power gap, you should protect yourself first. But compared to them, do you still have a power disadvantage?”

He threw the question back at her.

Louisa didn’t understand at first and looked up at him, meeting his gaze.

In those clear, beautiful, bright eyes, she saw her tiny reflection.

Was he saying that now she had him backing her up, so she was no longer at a disadvantage?

She started feeling dizzy.

She could barely remember the ambitious goals she’d once set for herself–to rely on her own strength to become powerful, to have enough power to protect the people she wanted to protect.

Julian gently stroked her hair and continued, “Actually, whether it’s protecting yourself or acting heroically, neither is inherently wrong.

They’re both genuine reactions from your heart. So you just need to follow your heart, do what you want to do, and be yourself.”

Follow your heart.

Be yourself.

“Those words sound so familiar…” Louisa said.

“What, have a lot of people said this to you before?” Julian asked.
