After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms

Chapter 458

Julian stood beside her and heard her muttering.

He leaned down slightly, close to her ear, as if to frighten her, his tone ghostly. “Maybe this snake will shed its skin.”

Louisa couldn’t help but picture the scene of “shedding skin,” feeling a wave of revulsion.

Lilith, speaking at the front, swept her gaze through the crowd and landed on Julian. Of course, she quickly looked away.

But Louisa had already noticed.

From the moment Lilith entered, her gaze kept drifting, intentionally or not, landing on Julian.

If it was just an inadvertent glance, wasn’t she glancing far too many times?

Louisa turned to look at Julian.

Julian cooperatively lowered his head slightly. “Want to say something?”

Louisa said, “That snake woman has her eye on you.”

This Julian was attracting attention everywhere.

Julian’s hand on her waist gently rubbed, his voice low and amused. “Does Ms. Forbes have too heavy a filter on me? Do you really think

I’m universally charming?”

Louisa sneered. “Stop being so narcissistic.”

Julian was helpless. “How am I narcissistic? I’m clearly being modest.”

Louisa huffed twice and didn’t want to deal with him anymore. This man was clearly praising himself in a roundabout way.

At the front, after giving a speech full of pleasantries, Lilith made a welcoming gesture. “Please, everyone.”

Everyone took their seats.

It was an enormous rectangular black dining table that could seat fifty people simultaneously.

Louisa mentally calculated–including Lilith, there were forty–one people present in total.

Of course, some were friends or female companions. Those truly interested in joining might only number around ten.

Chapter 458

No one wanted to sit near Lilith, no one was willing to take the positions closest to her.

Julian pulled Louisa over.

Noah immediately followed, also pulling Teddy along.

Teddy was internally collapsing. He didn’t understand why, when that woman looked like a ghost, they had to sit so close to her.

He clung to Noah’s arm the entire time in fear.

Noah whispered consolingly, “Teddy, don’t be afraid. The skin on that woman’s face isn’t hers.”

As soon as those words came out, Teddy was completely stunned.

What did he mean “the skin isn’t hers“?

Was this brat sure he was comforting anyone?

Briar and Orion had quite some courage, sitting across from Julian and Louisa–another position closest to Lilith.

After everyone was seated.

Lilith spoke. “I’ve carefully prepared the island’s delicacies for everyone. I hope you’ll enjoy them.”

After speaking, she instructed the butler to serve the dishes.

Before long, one exquisite “dish” after another was brought to the table.

Beef tartare, French blood duck, Spanish blood sausage…

Everyone’s expressions twisted.

Were these dishes?

In the center of those snow–white bone china plates sat mounds of finely textured, bright red raw wagyu mince, as if freshly scraped from

the cow… Too horrifying.

How could anyone eat this?

There was also a dish called “Stargazing“-a beautiful name, but those upturned fish heads stared at you, glaring.

More and more people were disgusted.

And the rare steak–that blood… no, in their terms it should be called myoglobin–flowing

Even Noah, who usually loved meat most, couldn’t handle it.

all over the plate…

These increasingly terrifying dishes–were they really meant to entertain guests?

The sinister castle, the eerie hostess, the horrifying dark cuisine… If they fled now, would it be too late?

This thought appeared simultaneously in everyone’s minds.

But not eating wouldn’t work either–they’d lose face.

Only then did everyone slowly begin using their knives and forks. Some cut extremely small pieces of beef at an agonizingly slow pace,
