After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415

Who would’ve thought that Adeline would directly say, “Let’s go

together.”

Louisa fell silent.

Seriously?

Why was this bigwig latching onto her?

Louisa felt a flutter of nervousness.

After all, being around this lady meant she could be in mortal danger

at any moment.

But she couldn’t outright refuse, so she could only smile politely.

“Alright then, together.”

They walked out together.

Louisa sighed inwardly, ‘Sadie, Flora, Rachel, I’ve failed you.‘

She’d repeatedly warned them to be careful and cautious, yet she

herself had gotten into trouble.

Adeline, completely oblivious, was busy studying Louisa–that

slender swan neck, those sexy collarbones, the perfect curve of her

profile…

Melinda?

The name surfaced in Adeline’s mind, and she was utterly shocked.

Memories flooded back like a tide, and her eyes instantly welled up

with moisture.

Louisa seemed to sense something was off. She turned her head to

see Adeline’s tear–filled eyes.

Louisa fell silent.

What was going on?

Louisa asked in confusion, “Madam, are you feeling unwell?”

Adeline shook her head slightly. “It’s nothing. I just thought of an old

friend and felt a bit sentimental, that’s all.”

Louisa fell silent.

Getting emotional over an old friend just from walking?

Chapter 415

In an unfamiliar place, shouldn’t she be on high alert?

Whose rich wife was this anyway? She seemed a bit dim, like she

could be conned at any moment.

Adeline also realized she’d lost her composure. She quickly reined in

her emotions, swallowing back her tears.

Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so it wasn’t too embarrassing.

She smiled at Louisa a bit sheepishly. “When you get older, you tend

to reminisce about the past.”

After a moment’s hesitation, she asked Louisa, “May I ask your name?

Whose daughter are you? I might know your parents.”

Louisa fell silent.

Was this rich lady’s mind really jumping around this much?

Just moments ago, she was reminiscing about the past, looking all sentimental. And now she was suddenly asking about her identity?

Did she mistake her for some wealthy heiress?

Louisa smiled faintly. “Madam, the whole point of a masquerade ball

Chapter 415

is to maintain mystery, so… I can’t answer your question.”

Adeline didn’t get angry. Instead, she scrutinized Louisa even more

carefully.

The mask covered half her face, but the area below her nose was

exposed, along with the curve of her profile–it really resembled

Melinda…

Back in the day, Melinda had been the reigning beauty of all Sunrise

City.

But the Louisa before her eyes was even more beautiful than Melinda

had been.

Her voice was soft and gentle, her bearing graceful.

Though she couldn’t immediately learn her identity…

Who wouldn’t be moved by a girl like this?

Maybe her son would be moved too, and transfer his affections from

Louisa to this girl…

As Adeline thought this, her mind was already made up–after the

banquet ended, she absolutely had to find out which family’s

Chapter 415

daughter this girl was.

The two continued walking toward the ballroom.

With nothing more to say on that topic, Adeline steered the

conversation to the banquet itself. “I don’t know what Mrs. Boleyn

was thinking, changing it to a masquerade ball like this.”

Louisa said, “You’re absolutely right.”

But inwardly she thought, ‘Isn’t it all for you, this “bigwig“?”

Who knew what kind of mechanisms or poisonous powder might be

hidden in those masks?

As for why Xanthe wanted to harm Adeline, Louisa had no idea.

But Louisa was certain that even though she’d disrupted the mask

scheme, Xanthe would definitely find another opportunity to strike.

Should she warn Adeline to leave this place immediately?

Both women entered the ballroom, each with their own concerns.

The guests near the entrance instinctively looked their way, curious.

They recognized Louisa, who’d nearly had a conflict with Abigail

earlier. After Abigail left, she hadn’t returned.

But Louisa had come back and brought someone with her?

How interesting.

Hazel snorted disdainfully in Louisa’s direction. She’d known it was

Louisa all along.

Though their relationship was rocky, Louisa had been her daughter-

in–law for years. Hazel was quite familiar with her.

So she’d immediately confirmed Louisa’s identity.

She just hadn’t expected Louisa to show up at an event like this.

Hadn’t she already hooked up with the heir to the Tudor family,

single–mindedly wanting to marry into them?

Louisa was as goal–oriented as ever, knowing exactly what she

wanted.

Though speaking of Vivian’s situation, even though she’d been used

by Louisa, it was also thanks to Louisa that they’d managed to put

that lunatic Vivian behind bars.

The merits outweighed the faults, and the benefits exceeded the

costs. Hazel didn’t mind being used by Louisa all that much anymore.

From now on in Silverlight City, they’d just be complete strangers.

With that thought, Hazel looked toward the lady beside Louisa.

Wearing a mask, Hazel couldn’t identify Adeline.

Of course, even without the mask, Hazel might not recognize Adeline

anyway.

Because their social standings were inherently unequal.

After agonizing over it the entire way, Louisa finally decided to warn

Adeline. “Madam, you should head home early today.”

She’d already gotten involved anyway. Might as well help her all the

way through.
