After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464

The man’s lecherous gaze lingered on Lilith as he spoke.

At his words, most of the men in the hall lit up with anticipation.

It couldn’t be helped–after ‘liberating their nature,” their minds were filled with nothing but filth, even looking forward to a depraved group activity.

Lilith seemed to see right through their thoughts. Her face turned cold, and she called them out bluntly. “Sir, this is a legitimate business networking event,

not an orgy.”

The man looked embarrassed.

Lilith, however, maintained her haughty demeanor as she slowly walked into the crowd, moving through them like a serpent.

Her eerie eyes swept over everyone present. “I’m sure you all came here to join the Commerce Guild. The Guild welcomes you, of course. But it won’t accept

incompetence.”

As she spoke, she stopped in front of Julian and slowly extended her hand.

Her lace–gloved hand was about to land on Julian’s chest.

Julian’s eyes flashed with disgust. He was about to step back.

Louisa moved first, slapping Lilith’s hand away.

“Miss, have some self–respect.” Louisa’s words were polite, but her eyes were fierce.

Who Julian ended up with later wasn’t her concern.

But right now, Julian was still hers. No one else could touch him.

The two women locked eyes, sparks flying.

For a split second, Louisa felt something familiar about Lilith’s gaze.

But when she tried to recall where she’d seen her before, nothing came to mind.

Lilith didn’t seem embarrassed. She gave Louisa a slight smile, then calmly withdrew her hand and moved on.

Julian grinned widely. He wrapped an arm around Louisa’s waist and leaned down to her ear. ‘My Louisa is so fierce. I love it.”

Louisa said nothing.

She pulled his hand away and whispered a reminder. “Everyone’s watching. Could Mr. Tudor please maintain your image?”

Teddy and Noah beside them: Does he even need to maintain it? Everyone’s already seen.

Orion and Briar’s eyes went wide: Were they seeing this right? Julian acting cute with a woman? Was this still the cold, aloof Julian they knew?

With walked back out of the crowd and returned to her original spot.

She reached behind her neck and removed a diamond necklace, placing it on the tray held by the butler.

“Tonight’s activity centers on this necklace.”

The guests looked confused “What do you mean?”

Lilith explained. It will be hidden somewhere–possibly inside the castle, or maybe in the forest behind it. Whoever finds it will receive this island as a

welcome gift for joining the Guild. This is our sincerity.”

The room erupted!

An entire island as a welcome gé?

The guests included wealthy merchants and mobles, but even they couldn’t help being shocked by such a prize.

This was just a small entertainment activity, yet the reward was this extravagant.

Julian seemed quite interested, too. He looked down and asked with a smile, ‘Louisa, do you like this island? If win it for you.*

Louisa’s resolve actually weaned for a moment.

But only for a moment

Briar was speechless.

Noah and Teddy also joined in the fun, looking equally confident.

For a moment, the atmosphere lightened, as if everyone had gotten absorbed in this treasure hunt game.

Afterward, Lilith provided each guest with clues and a route map.

“The game starts in fifteen minutes. Good luck, everyone. I’ll be waiting in my room for the final winner to personally put the necklace back on me

With that, she turned and left.

The guests in the hall began studying the clues.

Some believed the necklace was in the castle, others thought it was in the forest outside, and still others thought it was in a specific room.
