After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548

As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Adeline’s and leaned against her shoulder, coaxing her in a wheedling tone.

Adeline’s expression finally softened. “So you don’t think I’m being annoying?”

“Not at all! We love you the most, Mommy!” they said in unison.

Only then did Adeline brighten up.

Amelia and Justin exchanged glances, both wearing helpless expressions.

They’d managed to appease their mother, but now they had to go find someone again.

Meanwhile.

Louisa and Rachel each headed home.

As soon as Louisa arrived at the complex, she ran into Sadie.

Sadie had come back to grab something-she had a court hearing that afternoon.

Seeing Louisa, she asked casually, “Been shopping?”

“Yeah.” Louisa pulled two lipsticks out of her bag and handed them over. “One for you, one for Flora. Can you give hers to her?”

Ever since cutting ties with the Young family, Flora had been staying at Sadie’s place.

Sadie didn’t stand on ceremony. She took them right away. “Thanks.”

As they were about to part ways, Sadie remembered something and brought it up. “You were out in the Northwest all that time, and Vivian’s been on the run just as long. Still no word on her. It’s like she vanished into thin air. I even made a trip to Virella Highlands a few days ago-went as the plaintiff’s attorney to ask around at the police station. They didn’t tell me much. Just said they’re still pursuing her. But here’s what I don’t get-if Vivian’s still in Silverlight City, with her personality, how could she possibly resist coming after you? Or at least going after George’s mother? I think Mr. Tudor had it right from the start-Lorelei isn’t going to let her out easily. But what I really wonder is, what exactly does Lorelei want Vivian to do?”

Louisa fell into thought.

Sadie’s words, combined with Julian’s recent shift in attitude toward the Price family….

Things were starting to click. “A fugitive could lose her life at any moment. Plus, Vivian’s a lunatic. She’s capable of doing all kinds of things that disregard the law. And on top of that, she still has status. She’s a Price family heiress… I think Lorelei’s planning to use her to

the fullest.”

Sadie said, “You mean Lorelei wants to use Vivian to control the Price family?”

Louisa said, “I’m almost certain Lorelei’s playing a much bigger game. Everything she’s doing-the ultimate goal is to take control of the entire Getty family. Nicholas, and anyone who supports Nicholas or opposes Lorelei-she wants them all gone. But she can’t do it alone. She needs some desperate criminals who have nothing to lose. And of course, she needs certain families to back her up. That’s why she’s oing everything she can to win them over.”

adie was stunned. “That woman is terrifying.”

Louisa said, “Yeah. Because of my history with Vivian, that old witch has her sights on me now. And because of her, I’ve gotten tangled up with the JM Chamber of Commerce and attracted even worse things.”

Bob said, ‘I made some dessert. Would you like some?”

“Sure.” Louisa nodded.

Bob pulled a square loaf of bread from the oven.

The bread smelled heavenly.

He added a scoop of ice cream on top and set it in front of Louisa. “Bread temptation. Try it.”

“Thanks, Bob.” Louisa dug in.

Bob cut up a beautiful fruit platter and said to Louisa, “When you’re done, could you take some fruit to Mr. Tudor for me?

Louisa felt even more embarrassed. Wasn’t Bob being a little too obvious?

Still, she agreed.

While eating the bread, she asked casually, “Bob, I heard that the Tudor children used to live elsewhere. Have they all come back now?”

Bob said, “Yes. Aside from Mr. Julian Tudor and Ms. Alicia Tudor, who’ve always been in Silverlight City running the company, Mr. Jonathan Tudor is a designer and Mr. Jeffrey Tudor is a Doctors Without Borders physician-those two are constantly traveling. Ms. Amelia Tudor doesn’t work; she just travels around. And Mr. Justin Tudor has been abroad. Because of Mrs. Tudor’s accident-falling into the water and getting injured-they all came back.”
