After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476

Xanthe began speaking slowly, “Six months ago, a friend introduced me to Lorelei. I thought the was pretty nice, so we started spending time together frequently. Once, I went out on a yacht with her. There were a lot of young, handsome guys on board. I had some drinks.

and then… then…

She struggled to continue, her voice full of despair. “When I came to, there were two guys lying next to me. And there was a video… just like that, Lorelei had leverage over me. She blackmailed me into joining the [M Chamber. After that, the used my resources in Silverlight City to do her dirty work… I really had no choice. If I didn’t obey her, she’d ruin me.

By the time she finished speaking, Xanthe squeezed her eyes shut, her entire body trembling violently.

Julian didn’t rush her.

She drank some water before forcing herself to continue. The masquerade ball–Lorelei had planned it months in advance. She told me to approach your mother first, gain her trust. Then I invited her to the ball, and she agreed. The mask we prepared for her was laced with an aphrodisiac. Once she was disoriented, we’d take her to rest, and then… Lorelei would do to her exactly what she’d done to me. But when it came time to choose the mask, our plan was ruined. Some girl appeared out of nowhere and pushed another mask on her. Your mother was swayed and didn’t wear the one we’d prepared. We had to adjust on the fly. Lorelei posed as a tarot reader, trying to use fortune- telling to get close to your mother and drug her. But then, for some reason, Lorelei went berserk and turned on someone else instead…

You know the rest…”

After finishing, Xanthe collapsed onto the floor, utterly drained.

There was more she hadn’t said–how Lorelei had used this method many times before.

She also didn’t mention how, at first, she’d been terrified and repulsed. But under the twin corruptions of money and unchecked desire, she’d fallen completely.

Breaking free from legal and moral constraints–it was like a drug. Once you got a taste, you couldn’t quit.

The room fell silent.

Julian radiated a cold, terrifying aura.

Under the crushing pressure, Xanthe could barely breathe. She didn’t dare make a sound, terrified that one wrong move would provoke Julian into letting her die here.

Finally, Julian said nothing more. He stood and walked out, giving a few instructions to the two bodyguards at the door.

They immediately acknowledged and entered Xanthe’s room.

Julian walked down the corridor toward the staircase.

Louisa saw him and hurried over. “Julian, you said we’re bringing someone back to Silverlight City. Is it Mrs. Boleyn? What’s she doing here?”

Julian said, “Lorelei wants her dead.”

Louisa was shocked. “Why? Aren’t they on the same side?”

Julian replied, “They were. But Mrs. Boleyn got caught. Lorelei’s afraid she’ll sell her out.”

Louisa still couldn’t wrap her head around it. “So she wants to kill her over that?”

Julian said, “In her logic, only dead people can be trusted to keep quiet.”

Louisa fell silent.

Teresa definitely wouldn’t agree, right?

Yet, surprisingly, Teresa didn’t make a scene this time.

She stared at Julian for a long time, her eyes reddening. “Who wants this disgusting three–way date? To watch you two flaunt your

relationship in front of me? Forget it. Cancel it.”

Julian nodded without hesitation or surprise. “Fine. Canceled.”

But the moment his words fell, Teresa suddenly lunged at him and wrapped her arms around him.

It happened so fast that neither Louisa nor Julian had time to react.
