After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407

On the other side, at a roadside night market.

Louisa and Sadie were eating.

More than once, Sadie glanced at the three delicate small boxes

beside her.

They were the brooches Louisa had bought. She’d given all three to

Sadie to pass along to the others.

Sadie had been puzzled at first–since the two of them were already

having dinner together, why not just invite Flora and Rachel along

too?

But Louisa had only called her. Clearly, Louisa didn’t want a lively

gathering tonight.

Now, seeing Louisa’s somewhat distracted demeanor, Sadie asked

tentatively, “What’s wrong? Did you fight with Julian?”

“Is that even possible?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?”

Louisa smiled, then sighed. “Being with him, there’s nothing to fight

about. He’s so good you can’t find fault with him.”

Sadie pressed, “So? Are you worried that he’s too perfect and you

don’t have confidence you can make it to the end with him? Or are

you saying you want to break up, want to run away, but can’t find an

opportunity?”

Louisa paused for a long moment before smiling bleakly. “What future

do we have? His parents will never agree.”

Sadie fell silent. The food in her mouth lost its flavor.

The gap in status was the deepest chasm between people.

Sadie moved to sit beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders

consolingly. “It’s okay. Don’t overthink it. I think Julian is someone

who takes responsibility. He’ll definitely be able to…”

Louisa shook her head. “Actually, what I hope most is that he won’t do

anything–won’t fight with his parents.”

In the end, it would just be retracing the path she’d walked with

George.

The ending was predetermined.

She didn’t want things between her and Julian to become that ugly.

“But my gut tells me Julian will definitely fight. You can’t control this

man. If you don’t walk his path with him, he’ll drag you forward even

if he has to trick you.” Sadie rarely made conclusions based on

intuition, but she had this strong feeling–Julian wouldn’t let Louisa

go so easily.

Louisa sighed, gazing at the night sky tinged like spilled ink.

Yes. In this game, she’d never been the one in control. She was just a

fool who’d strayed into a dangerous, forbidden zone.

Sadie was about to say something more when her phone suddenly

rang.

Seeing the caller’s name, Sadie’s expression darkened. She hesitated,

glanced at Louisa, but still answered. “What do you want?”

The fierce tone made Louisa freeze.

Who could be calling…

Then Sadie’s expression changed again. She exclaimed in shock, “What did you say?”

she turned to ask Sadie, “He’s the one who called you just now?”

Sadie nodded.

Louisa was still somewhat dazed. Hearing this from Sadie’s mouth,

she’d believe it.

But coming from George’s mouth…

Louisa was deeply skeptical.

She asked George directly, “Where did you hear this news? Are you

sure she was abducted?”

George replied, “Twenty minutes ago, my people I left stationed at

Virella Highlands called. They said Vivian was being transferred to

another prison today. The vehicle was hijacked midway. One escort

officer is dead, one injured.”

Louisa and Sadie fell silent in unison, exchanging glances.

George’s expression was grim as he looked at Sadie. “I heard you accepted a commission from Mark’s mother. You’ve been going to Virella Highlands a lot lately. You’re more familiar with the situation there. Do you know anyone inside the police force who could tell us

what’s happening now? Whether there are any leads to track down

Louisa thought about it. Julian should know.

She immediately pulled out her phone to dial.

But the moment the call connected, a phone ringtone sounded

nearby.

Following the sound, Louisa saw Julian’s tall figure emerging from

the darkness.

He pulled out his phone, about to answer, then walked into the

building and spotted the three of them.

Julian said, “Looks like you’ve all received the news.”

Louisa went up to him. “So you already knew?”

Julian nodded. “I got the message forty–five minutes ago.”

Louisa asked, “Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Julian looked down at her. “I was afraid of scaring you. I wanted to

come tell you in person. I didn’t expect everyone…”

He glanced at George with an ambiguous smile. “Turns out everyone’s

quite frightened.”

George ignored him, snorting heavily.

Julian didn’t bother with him either. He wrapped his arm around
