Chapter 402
Louisa felt fortunate that she’d dealt with Angelina twice before and
knew that Angelina was completely immersed in her own world,
heedless of any consequences.
Especially when Angelina called her a bad person–the vicious glint
in her eyes hadn’t escaped Louisa’s notice.
So from the very beginning, she’d been in a state of high alert.
Lorelei immediately checked on her daughter, asking anxiously,
“Angelina, are you alright?”
Angelina was terrified. She remained silent, her eyes frighteningly
vacant, trembling continuously in Lorelei’s arms.
Teresa’s legs had also gone weak. Instinctively, she looked for
someone to lean on.
Louisa dodged, not letting her touch her.
With nothing else to hold onto, Teresa’s face went pale as if she
might faint.

People around them kept filming with their phones, whispering
among themselves, speculating about what had happened.
Louisa let out a cold laugh…
When Lorelei looked over, she deliberately put on a stern face and

As she spoke, Louisa softened her tone. “If something had really
happened to you and your daughter, how anxious would Mr. Gareth
Getty be? And this colleague of mine–her status isn’t simple either.
She’s the beloved goddaughter of our chairman’s wife. If something
happened to her, how many people would be heartbroken?”
Teresa’s mouth twitched as she looked at Louisa, speechless.
Was Louisa retaliating for her deliberate verbal manipulation earlier?
Lorelei didn’t know Teresa. Hearing Louisa say this, she looked at
Teresa in surprise, her tone even more apologetic. “So you’re Mrs.
Adeline Tudor’s goddaughter. I don’t come to Silverlight City often,
so I’m not very familiar with the younger generation’s relationships. But Ms. Forbes is right–today’s incident was truly dangerous and
cannot happen again. I really will educate her properly when we get
home.”
As Lorelei spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, appearing both pained and helpless.
The surrounding crowd immediately shifted from criticism to
sympathy.
How could Louisa not see that Lorelei was acting?

Louisa’s tone became even more gentle as she began consoling her.
“We understand. It’s not easy for you and Mr. Gareth Getty. A parent’s
love knows no bounds.”
Lorelei said gratefully, “Ms. Forbes, thank you so much. You’re
beautiful inside and out. About this incident…”
Louisa interrupted, “Fortunately, everyone’s alright this time. Mr.
Gareth Getty and Mr. William Tudor are friends, so let’s just let it go.
Ms. Getty seems quite shaken. Mrs. Getty, you should take her to see a
doctor first.”
Lorelei immediately responded, “Yes, we’ll leave now.”
She once again expressed her apologies to Louisa and Teresa before
leaving with Angelina.
Throughout, she maintained a sorrowful, delicate demeanor. But once
in the car, Lorelei immediately shed ali pretense, becoming cold and
malicious.
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
The other party answered quickly.
Lorelei’s tone was icy. “I asked you to investigate Louisa’s identity.

How is it you’ve found nothing? Keep searching! Continue
investigating!”
She hung up viciously.
Seeing Louisa’s face made her uncomfortable–it looked too much like
Melinda’s.
She had to know whether Louisa was that damned woman Melinda’s
daughter.
Damn it. That sharp–tongued little bitch.
Louisa suddenly sneezed.
Could Lorelei be cursing her?
She discreetly. composed her expression.
If she hadn’t heard Julian and Nicholas discuss it before, and hadn’t
learned about Lorelei’s background from Teddy, she might actually
have been fooled by Lorelei’s delicate and reasonable facade just now.
Such a ruthless woman, yet she acted so innocent–as if she had
nothing to do with the legendary cruelty…

But that was precisely what made Lorelei more terrifying.
If she were like Teresa, displaying everything openly with all her
malice written on her face, there’d be nothing to fear.
Teresa watched Louisa’s thoughtful expression and put on a
