After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419

No one responded.

Seeing this, Xanthe laughed. “Don’t be shy, everyone. Whether the

tarot reader truly has the ability to see through everything, and

whether the lady beside me is a plant I hired–you can find out for

yourselves by coming up and experiencing it firsthand.”

Everyone thought, ‘Who would volunteer to be a guinea pig for this

creepy game?‘

No one was willing.

Xanthe continued, “How about this–to make the game more

interesting, if any of you dare to come forward and let the tarot

reader announce the reading publicly, afterward you’ll remove your

mask and let everyone see your face. How does that sound?”

Silence from the crowd. ‘Are you an idiot or do you think we are?‘

Never mind that everyone had secrets they’d rather not share–even

those with nothing to hide wouldn’t want to remove their masks and

be gawked at like monkeys.

Seeing everyone’s silence, Xanthe smiled again. “Since no one is

volunteering, we’ll just have to let the tarot reader choose for

herself.”

As she spoke, the tarot reader emerged from behind Xanthe, her toes

turning toward Adeline.

Adeline wasn’t initially afraid of this game–she had no shameful

secrets in her heart.

But she knew these people meant to harm her, so she tensed up again

immediately.

However, just as the tarot reader was about to reach Adeline, she

suddenly turned and walked into the crowd.

Everyone immediately scattered, terrified of being chosen.

Louisa and her friends also retreated hand–in–hand to the side.

Yet wherever they moved, the tarot reader followed.

Now everyone understood–the tarot reader’s target tonight was

Louisa and her group.

Louisa cursed internally and signaled her friends to split up.

The tarot reader stopped pursuing and simply stood still, staring

intently at Louisa.

The meaning was clear, she’d chosen Louisa.

Xanthe gestured to her subordinates, who immediately approached to

“escort” Louisa forward.

Seeing they hadn’t been chosen, the crowd began jeering again.

The loudest troublemakers were Abigail and her friends.

Realizing she couldn’t escape, Louisa stopped trying. She walked

gracefully toward the tarot reader.

At the same time, her mind raced–should she strike first or wait and

see?

Striking first wasn’t appropriate. She didn’t know Lorelei’s purpose in

choosing her.

And being in a passive, disadvantaged position, it wouldn’t work in

her favor.

She opted for the latter–wait and see.

Still, she smiled and said calmly, “Go easy on me.”

Nearby, Hazel and Adeline were about to flee when they saw Louisa

being chosen. Both were shocked.

Hazel thought, “This tarot reader must know Louisa was once the

Capulet family’s daughter–in–law. Could she be planning to expose

the Capulet family’s secrets?‘

Adeline felt somewhat worried. Wasn’t this girl in the green dress the young lady who’d just helped her? Don’t let the tarot reader target

her.

Adeline’s heart filled with concern.

Meanwhile.

Noah, who had snuck into the ballroom, slipped back out just as

Louisa was being chosen.

He’d come in to check the situation and was stopped by security.

Noah asked why there was no signal inside. The guards told him they were playing a tarot game that required blocking signals.

When Noah tried to enter anyway, security blocked him.

Noah simply started throwing punches, knocking down all the guards

before walking in with dignity.

Seeing Louisa and her friends were fine, with guests around them

laughing and playing games, he thought about calling Julian back and

stepped out again.

So he didn’t see that less than a minute after he left, Louisa was

chosen.

He called Julian. “Mr. Tudor, don’t worry. Nothing unusual–they’re

just playing a fortune–telling game. That’s why they blocked the

signal. Just theatrics.”

Julian wasn’t reassured. “Don’t be fooled. Keep a close eye on them.

Don’t let Louisa leave your sight.”

“…Yes, Mr. Tudor.”

Noah had initially thought Julian was overreacting.

But when he turned back to the ballroom, he discovered the doors

were locked.

He couldn’t get in.

Meanwhile, after hanging up, Julian suddenly realized–if there was

no signal inside, how had Noah called him?

Noah had slipped out?

Not good.

He said to Bob, “Speed up.”

Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang again.

Teddy calling. “Mr. Tudor, I’ve sent you the party guest list. Besides

Louisa and her three friends, your mother also attended the party.”

Instantly, Julian’s expression turned even colder.

Inside the ballroom.

Having decided to play along with this game, Louisa had no intention

of backing down.

She looked calmly at the tarot reader.

Rachel, Sadie, and Flora gripped each other’s hands tightly, so

nervous that their palms were sweating.
