Chapter 554
Since Julian’s thing was a dinner anyway, she’d simply set her meeting with Adeline at the same restaurant.
That way, as long as Louisa came out for a brief meeting, everything would come to light.
Rachel clapped her hands cheerfully: Done!
The Tudor Manor.
Adeline was waiting for Rachel to send her the address.
As for Rachel changing the location last minute, she wasn’t angry about it.
It didn’t matter where they went, as long as it didn’t interfere with her meeting the girl in the green dress.
But Julian had also arranged a dinner tonight, demanding the entire Tudor family’s attendance.
Amelia was frantic, nearly in tears. “Mom, Mom, please, I’m begging you. Go, or Julian’s going to be furious.”
Justin chimed in from the side. “Yeah, when Julian gets angry, the whole family suffers.”
“Go where? Not going!” Adeline snapped angrily. “What kind of airs is this Louisa putting on? She won’t come see me? Instead I have to go see her? Not going!”
She meant it–she wasn’t going.
Amelia and Justin exchanged glances.
On one side was the task Julian had assigned them. On the other was their stubborn mother.
They were in a tough spot.
Justin sat down beside Adeline, counting on his fingers as he reasoned with her. “Mom, don’t be angry. How is this you going to see her? You’re meeting each other. Besides, meeting outside is better, right? If you’re unhappy, you can leave anytime. If it were at home and you got upset, you couldn’t exactly kick her out, could you?”
Amelia secretly gave him a thumbs up. This kid was sharp.
Adeline’s resistance wavered.
Actually, it wasn’t that she absolutely refused to go. The key issue was that she had news about the girl in the green dress.
Who could stop her from meeting the girl in the green dress?
But she wasn’t about to tell these two fence–sitters.

# kole det har kalp, de naturally wouldn’t refuse
www west puzzled about what falian could possibly need her help with
She wanted to ask me clearly, but from his and came Teddy’s voice urging Julian to a meeting, so Louisa didn’t press the question over
the phone
Still, agreeing to his side meant she’d have to cancel on Rachel.
Fortunately, the thing with Rachel was just a normal girls dinner. Work came first.
She called Rachel. ‘Rachel, I’m so sorry, Tonight I need to go with Julian to a dinner. Can we meet tomorrow instead? You pick the place-
my treat.”
Rachel sounded a bit disappointed. “Alright then. Where’s your dinner tonight?”
Louisa said, ‘I don’t know yet. He didn’t say.”
At the same time, she found Rachel’s question rather odd. Why ask about her dinner plans?
Rachel said, ‘Ask him when you get a chance. I’ve got quite a few dinners coming up myself and can’t figure out where to book. Wherever Mr. Tudor’s going is bound to be good–let me know when you find out.”
“Oh, I see. Sure, I’ll tell you when I know.” Louisa agreed,
But she still felt something was off. Would Rachel really need to ask her for venue recommendations?
Still, she didn’t think much of it.
It never occurred to her to connect Rachel with Adeline.
Adeline had been searching for the girl in the green dress for two months without any leads.
When she suddenly got Rachel’s call and learned that Rachel was the one in the pink dress that night, she was thrilled. She immediately agreed to meet with Rachel,
That was precisely why Rachel had invited Louisa to this dinner.
Wur could’ve predicted Julian would suddenly show up and throw a wrench in things?
But such a small matter couldn’t stump Ms. Santos.

Chapter 554
These past days she’d figured them out. This son and daughter of hers on the surface they went along with her, saying they’d help fod the person, but behind the scenes they listened to Julian and deliberately sabotaged her efforts..
They’d said they’d help her get the store surveillance footage, and then all the footage mysteriously disappeared.
Anyone who believed they hadn’t interfered was a fool.
Adeline said, “I don’t care. I’m not going anyway.”
After speaking, she pulled out her phone again, waiting for Rachel’s message.
Amelia and Justin exchanged another glance, both feeling their mother was acting strangely tonight, constantly checking her phone.
When they leaned over to look, their mother turned the phone face–down on her lap, blocking their view.
Very suspicious.
But that wasn’t important.
The key was completing the task Julian had assigned.
Amelia continued persuading. “Mom, Julian’s already reserved the private room. Dad, Jonathan, Jeffrey, Alicia–they’ve all agreed. If you
don’t go…”
“If you don’t go, my third sister–in–law will have won over everyone’s hearts, and the situation will be even harder to control,” Justin cleverly interjected.
Adeline was already angry, and hearing this made her even angrier. “Third sister–in–law? You two certainly say it smoothly.”
“Okay, okay, we won’t call her that.” Amelia quickly soothed her, but then added, “But if you break up Julian’s relationship, he might really never get married.”
Justin said, “Or who knows, Julian might get so heartbroken he’ll go be Nicholas’s wife instead.”
The siblings took turns, one sentence after another, until Adeline’s blood pressure spiked.
Then, before she could beat them, the two swiftly ran off.
In any case, this dinner had everyone with their own agenda.
Louisa was the only one who didn’t know the truth. She didn’t even know what kind of dinner this was.
