After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414

Louisa listened to their scheming. This party was indeed abnormal-

Xanthe really was up to something.

But who exactly was this “she“, this “most valuable figure in

Silverlight City” they mentioned?

The most powerful and influential person in Silverlight City?

Louisa was puzzling over this when, before long, she heard the sound

of high heels clicking against the floor.

Louisa recalled the phrase “she’ll arrive soon.”

Could the owner of these high heels be the important figure they’d

mentioned?

Louisa gathered her courage, peeked her head out halfway, and

glanced down the corridor.

No one.

After a moment’s hesitation, Louisa stepped out and walked in the direction of the footsteps.

From a distance, Louisa saw an elegantly poised, dignified lady who

appeared to be in her forties, wearing a black evening gown. Her skin

and figure were exceptionally well–maintained–even every strand of

her hair looked precious.

It was easy to imagine this lady must have been a great beauty in her

youth.

Could she be that “important figure“?

Louisa wrestled with herself… should she intervene or not?

If she did, she might put herself in danger.

But if she didn’t, this lady would certainly be harmed.

As she hesitated, a woman in a purple gown approached with an

extremely ingratiating and flattering expression.

Adeline responded politely.

They were about to enter the mask room.

Adeline noticed Louisa in the distance.

At first glance, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Like a veil being lifted from a distant memory, Adeline’s heart stirred.

The more she looked, the more familiar it seemed…

Louisa had been thinking that, forget it–she already had enough

troubles of her own. She really couldn’t afford to worry about the life

and death of these “important figures.” At most, she’d help by calling

the police.

But then she thought–this could very well be someone’s life at stake.

Louisa couldn’t just walk away.

Seeing the two elegant ladies walking toward her…

She closed her eyes. Fine. Perhaps this was fate.

After a pause, Louisa approached them and greeted them proactively.

“Hello.”

The woman in the purple gown was Xanthe.

Seeing Louisa, Xanthe immediately felt anxious. Why was someone

appearing at this moment?

But she pretended nothing was wrong and briefly introduced them.

Adeline warmly shook Louisa’s hand and complimented her. “Your

mask is beautiful.”

Louisa was slightly stunned. Accustomed to the arrogance and class

prejudice of these “important figures,” she rarely encountered

someone so gentle.

This must be a very kind person.

Perhaps kind people are naturally more fortunate.

Louisa took the opportunity to continue the conversation. “Thank you. Would you like me to help you choose a mask?”

Adeline smiled. “That would be wonderful. You young people have

much better taste than I do.”

Xanthe, getting on in years herself, remained silent.

She didn’t want Louisa to join them or ruin tonight’s plan, but…

Louisa was a guest. She couldn’t very well refuse.

Besides, if she objected, it might arouse suspicion.

With no other choice, Xanthe forced a stiff smile at Louisa. “Let’s go

together then.”

The three entered the room filled with masks.

Facing the dazzling array of masks, Adeline felt her eyes swimming.

“There’s too much to take in. I think they all look nice.”

She turned, planning to ask Louisa’s opinion.

Seeing this, Xanthe immediately interjected, “Actually, I’ve specially

prepared an elaborately crafted mask just for you.”

But considering Louisa’s presence, and the fact that several others

who had just arrived were also selecting masks, Xanthe didn’t want to

cause resentment. She whispered this in Adeline’s ear.

Adeline responded with surprise, “Really?”

Who wouldn’t be pleased to be singled out for special attention?

Louisa pretended not to have heard, focusing intently on selecting a

mask.

Xanthe had a servant bring over the gold mask.

The servant immediately approached with a tray, upon which lay a

beautifully ornate gold mask… it was indeed magnificent.

Adeline liked it at first sight. “It really is quite nice.”

She turned to ask Louisa, “What do you think of this gold mask?”

Louisa looked at it and nodded. “It is pretty, but a bit gaudy. It doesn’t

quite match your refined and elegant temperament.”

She picked up a light blue mask and held it up to Adeline. “I think this

one is better.”

Adeline had actually quite liked the gold mask–after all, what woman

doesn’t love glamorous things?

But hearing Louisa praise her as refined and elegant, she felt she

couldn’t regress to gaucheness.

She made her decision. “Then I’ll take this light blue one.”

Seeing this, Xanthe grew anxious. “What do young people know about what looks good? This gold mask matches your black gown perfectly -that’s true nobility, a perfect match.”

Louisa remained unhurried, nodding calmly. “Indeed, black with gold

isn’t really our generation’s aesthetic. A bit tacky…”

Adeline made her decision immediately. “Then I’ll take the blue one.

Xanthe was fuming. She looked at Louisa with displeasure. Where did
