Chapter 502
In Isaac’s eyes, Flora’s only value had been as leverage to pressure Louisa and Julian.
Now that Flora had forced him to release her, once she left, she’d be completely worthless to him.
Furious, he signed his name and threw the agreement at Flora’s feet.
Flora picked it up and left with Louisa and the others.
As they walked out of the living room, Flora asked Sadie, “How did you know I’d sever ties? You even brought a family severance agreement?”
Sadie glanced at Louisa and smiled. “You should thank Louisa for that. She told me to prepare it.”
When Sadie had called Louisa earlier, she’d already left the law office. Louisa had told her to go back–to get her laptop and also print out a family severance agreement.
Now Flora admired Louisa even more. She said in disbelief, “Louisa, you’re incredible!”

Julian and Wallace’s eyes both landed on Louisa’s face.
The difference was that Wallace’s expression showed shock and admiration.
Julian’s was complicated–tinged with heartache.
Louisa said nothing and quietly took his hand.
She wasn’t some clairvoyant genius. She’d just lived through something similar herself.
She understood Flora’s personality. After what Isaac had done, there was no way Flora would ever acknowledge him as her father again.
As Flora’s friend, Louisa naturally wanted to help her sever that pitiful connection cleanly.
And Julian seemed to sense what Louisa was feeling.
He tightened his grip on the hand she’d extended, and much of his anger over her secretly planning to leave him began to dissipate.
As they left the Young Villa, Sadie said to Flora, “Come stay at my place. You too, Louisa. The three of us can have dinner together tonight.
They needed to come up with a plan for Flora’s situation.
Flora naturally had no objections.
Louisa didn’t say anything. Her eyes immediately went to Julian.
In that moment, all her earlier boldness vanished, leaving only timidity.

Chapter 502-
After all–she’d tried to leave him without a word. He wouldn’t let that slide.
Sure enough.
Julian said coolly to Sadie, “You go ahead. Louisa’s coming with me.”
Sadie could clearly see something was wrong between Louisa and Julian. She didn’t dare contradict him. She said to Louisa, “We’ll head out first, then?”
Louisa nodded.
Sadie got into her car with Flora.
Teddy had already run to Julian’s car and was waiting to open the door.
Wallace was still caught up in the intense, brilliant confrontation they’d just witnessed, his excitement undiminished.
He looked at Louisa, then Julian, his eyes shining. “Julian, Louisa–oh, I mean, Ms. Forbes–she’s my goddess.”
He quickly corrected himself and gave Julian a goofy grin. “I knew if she said it, she could do it. I know plenty of talented people, but aside
from her, I’ve never seen anyone else reach this level. Absolutely incredible. You two are a power couple. Who in Silverlight City could possibly
stand against you?”
Louisa felt embarrassed by his form of address but didn’t correct him.
Her mind was completely occupied with one question: How was she going to deal with Julian next?
Julian hadn’t planned to acknowledge Wallace, casting him only a cool glance.
But suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
He said to Louisa, “Get in the car first.”
Louisa nodded, said goodbye to Wallace, and got in.
Only then did Julian lower his voice and say to Wallace, “Spread the word about what happened today.”
He lowered his voice even further and whispered a few names in Wallace’s ear.
Wallace looked at him with exasperation. “Why don’t you just say it outright–you want me to pass the word to those old–timers so they can
tell your father?”
Julian acknowledged it without denial.
Wallace studied him for a moment, then suddenly understood. “You want to use this to get Mr. William Tudor fully on your side so he’ll agree to your marriage with Louisa, right?
After all, as chairman of the Tudor Group, William held the highest authority in the company.

Chapter 502
But privately? William was afraid of his wife, afraid of his daughter, and even more afraid of his son Julian.
Especially when caught between Adeline and Julian, William was a complete fence–sitfer, unwilling to offend either side.
But at the end of the day, William was still a businessman.
If he found out just how exceptional Louisa was, he’d never bring up her divorce again.
Louisa was brilliant.
Divorced?
That little detail was completely insignificant compared to her brilliance.
Now that Wallace understood Julian’s intentions, he thumped his chest hard. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me.”
Julian said, “Thanks. But remember–this can’t get out to outsiders.”
Wallace replied, “I get it.”
If Louisa’s abilities became known to unrelated people, it could cause her trouble.
Those old–timers were different. They were all shrewd and wouldn’t spread it around.
After that, the two men got into their respective cars and left.
On the drive home, Julian didn’t immediately settle accounts with Louisa.
But he kept glancing at her. Every time he looked, Louisa felt the temperature in the car drop another degree.
If he kept looking at her like that, she’d turn into an ice sculpture.
Teddy, driving up front, kept stealing glances at them in the rearview mirror. His eyes met Louisa’s. ‘Louisa, are you cold?”
Louisa: Cold.‘
Teddy: ‘Me too.‘
Louisa: “Then say something to lighten the mood.‘
