After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 484

Chapter 484

But even after Louisa said all that, Brian still wasn’t reassured.

He insisted on taking Hawk back.

Louisa didn’t argue.

For her, those years living with Hawk before she turned eighteen were the past she least wanted to revisit.

If her father could take him away and keep him out of her life, that was an ending she’d welcome.

However, Brian stayed in Silverlight City for two days, and Hawk never showed up.

She didn’t know if Hawk was aware her father was in town.

Brian couldn’t just keep waiting around–the farm back home needed tending. He had no choice but to head back first.

Louisa bought him a train ticket and drove him to the station.

Before leaving, Brian warned her over and over: if Hawk showed up, she shouldn’t be polite about it. Call him, or call the police.

Either way, as far as Brian was concerned, he’d never had a son like that.

Louisa was moved.

Brian brought up her relationship with Julian again, urging her to make a choice soon–either break up or get married. She couldn’t just drift along like this.

Louisa agreed.

After seeing her father off, she stood at the entrance of the train station, watching the crowds rush past in the plaza. For a moment, she

felt lost.

She suddenly remembered the last time she’d sent her father off, standing in this exact spot.

Julian had appeared in front of her, saying he’d come to take her home.

This time, he didn’t come.

Well, of course not. Her father had shown up out of nowhere and caught her and Julian together. She hadn’t acknowledged their relationship publicly and had even asked Julian to go along with the lie.

But what would be the point?

Julian’s answer would definitely be marriage,

But the Tudor family would never approve of her marrying Julian. Which meant that once they had that conversation, the outcome would either be a breakup or an immediate, brutal confrontation.

Louisa thought for a moment, and a figure suddenly surfaced in her mind. Teresa.”

Sadie gasped. “Her?”

Louisa said, “I can’t be sure, but aside from Lorelei and Vivian, Teresa’s the only one who sees me as an enemy. Using Hawk against me- that sounds like Teresa’s style.”

“Right.” Sadie found that reasoning sound. “Your analysis makes sense. Lorelei and Vivian just want you dead. Ruining your reputation doesn’t do them any good. But Teresa? She doesn’t have to lift a finger herself. She just borrows someone else’s knife. Destroy your reputation, make it even harder for the Tudor family to accept you, keep you and Mr. Tudor apart–that’s her goal. Yes, yes, it has to be

her.”

Sadie grew more convinced as she spoke, then immediately asked, “So what do we do now? Should you tell Mr. Tudor? Teresa’s technically part of the Tudor family, and she’s doing this because of him. He’s responsible. Plus, if Teresa can use someone else to do her dirty work, why can’t we? We don’t have to handle it ourselves. Let Julian deal with her.”
