After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517

Julian wasn’t surprised at all by his father’s decision.

So Julian didn’t hesitate, his expression remained calm, “Dad, Mom, I’m resigning. This isn’t a threat.”

“I know, I know,” William nodded quickly.

Out of his four sons, only Julian was a business genius and the most outstanding heir of the Tudor family. He didn’t need to make threats.

Julian continued, “As for the promotion and raise for Louisa, it’s unnecessary. I’ve already declined it on her behalf. If it’s not a sincere offer, she won’t accept it. The Tudor Group might be powerful, but it’s not a place where people can be summoned and dismissed at will.”

William was left speechless.

He truly regretted letting his wife drive Louisa away.

He knew it wasn’t a wise decision to let Louisa go.

But he didn’t want to upset his wife, so he let her have her way.

Now, he really regretted it.

He wanted to discuss things with Julian, but just then, Julian’s phone rang.

It was Teddy calling.

Julian answered.

After Teddy finished his report, Julian said, “Come pick me up at the Tudor Manor.”

Then he hung up.

He looked at his parents again, his voice still calm, “Dad, Mom, I’m leaving.”

“Where are you going?” Adeline, who hadn’t spoken until now, couldn’t hold back any longer. She stood up from the couch abruptly.

Julian didn’t hide anything, “I’m going to the Northwest.”

Adeline almost collapsed, but William quickly stood up and supported her.

Julian looked at her, “Mom, Louisa once told me she works hard so she can have more choices at any time. Neither I nor the Tudor Group has ever been her only option. But for me, she’s the one I can’t do without.”

His light words hit everyone like a heavy blow.

Then Julian lett.

Chapter 517-

Under everyone’s gaze, he walked out.

As he passed Jonathan and Jeffrey, they both called,

out, “Julian…”

When he reached the door, Alicia called out, “Julian…”

In the living room, Adeline couldn’t believe it as she watched his back. She turned to her husband and snapped, ‘He just left like that? Louisa said he wouldn’t turn against his mother for a woman, but look at what happened! He still left.”

Outside the living room, Julian heard his mother’s words and paused.

Really?

Did Louisa say that?

Did she always believe that between her and his family, he would choose his family without hesitation?

By noon, Julian was on a plane to the Northwest.

Meanwhile, the Tudor family was in chaos.

Far away in the Northwest, Louisa had no idea what was happening in Silverlight City.

Touisa matter

In fact, even if she knew, it wouldn’t matter to her. She was too busy with her own affairs.

Since Julian approved her budget request, she immediately closed off the mountain and organized an ecological restoration team to rehabilitate the area and revive the desolate mountain base.

Although the branch staff were reluctant to cooperate, the headquarters had approved the new plan, so they couldn’t stop her.

However, just as the restoration project was about to start, trouble arose.

Villagers from the surrounding area gathered in groups, blocking the entrance to the mountain and the factory gate, full of anger.

For years, the mountain had been left unattended, and the villagers had long been accustomed to freely entering the mountain to graze, cut

wood, cultivate the slopes, and pick wild plants.

No one from the branch had ever restrained or managed them.

Over time, everyone assumed the mountain was theirs to use as they pleased.

Now, with Louisa designating it as an ecological protection zone, closing off the mountain, and regulating harvesting areas, she disrupted their long–standing habits.

So they gathered to protest.

“Why should your company close the mountain just because you say so?”

“Years of neglect, and now a newcomer wants to make a bunch of rules?”

“Our ancestors lived here for generations, why can’t we enter the mountain?”

The crowd blocked the entrance, refusing to let the construction equipment and workers in.

Inside the factory, the old employees watched coldly, hands in pockets, enjoying the spectacle.

Not only did they refuse to help mediate, but they secretly rejoiced.

Regardless of Louisa’s support from the headquarters, they had never agreed with her reforms from the start.

But as Tudor Group employees, they couldn’t oppose headquarters‘ decisions. Now, facing the villagers dispute, it wasn’t their problem.

If the villagers could drive Louisa away, it would be a good thing.

The only one standing by Louisa was Elara.

Elara tried to communicate with the villagers, patiently explaining the ecological conservation and project compliance, negotiating repeatedly.
