After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms

Chapter 563

Louisa was kissed dizzy, her heart even more frustrated. This bastard-how dare he treat her like this?

She kissed back just as fiercely, biting down on his lip without mercy.

The taste of blood spread between their mouths.

Louisa shoved him away hard.

Julian didn’t force her further. He just looked at her. “So, did that get it out of your system?”

Louisa glanced at the wound on his mouth, feeling a tiny bit guilty, but still said righteously, “You brought this on yourself.”

“Fine. I brought it on myself.” Julian wasn’t angry. In fact, he was indulgent.

Especially when he looked at her-his deep eyes like a cold pool in the night, clear and bright, yet holding unfathomable tenderness.

He said, “Come here.”

By now, Louisa’s anger had dissipated. She shuffled over reluctantly.

Julian pulled her into his arms, looking down at her. “The Tudor family’s weekend invitation is for the lifesaver, not for you as my

girlfriend. Once it’s over, I’ll tell her the truth. I won’t keep you as ‘Verde’ forever.”

Louisa said, “What makes you think waiting will make your mom like me?”

“She already likes you.” Julian gently brushed the hair by her temple, a smile on his lips. “Our Louisa is the best girl in the world. Who

wouldn’t like her?”

Louisa was sweetened by this sugar-coated bullet.

She’d treated him like this, and he still thought she was wonderful?

But wait-something was off.

She snapped back to clarity. “Julian, don’t muddy the issue. Your mom likes the rich young lady who saved her. Notice-rich young lady,

someone from a family that matches the Tudors. Not me, Louisa.”

Julian chuckled softly.

Louisa glared at him. “What are you laughing at?”

Julian didn’t explain immediately. He took her hand and led her out of the bedroom.

Louisa had no idea what he was doing. “Julian, what are you doing?”

“Come with me.’ Julian pulled her to the study.

Louisa was still confused. What needed to be said in the study?

Inside the study.

Julian lifted Louisa and set her on the desk.

He stood in front of her, hands braced on either side of her body, smiling at her. ‘Just now, Ms. Forbes mentioned ‘rich young la

times. So let’s discuss-what does Ms. Forbes think a rich young lady is? What makes someone truly wealthy?”

Louisa was completely thrown.

A rich young lady was a rich young lady. How could he not know?

Why was he asking her?

Julian said, ‘Or let’s put it more simply-what do you think wealth is?”

Louisa said, “Money… I guess?”

She’d been about to say “money,” but seeing Julian’s inscrutable expression, she suddenly wasn’t sure.

Julian smiled softly. “Money, you guess? When did Ms. Forbes become so unconfident?”

Louisa said, “So you’re saying money doesn’t represent wealth? Then what does?”

Julian didn’t answer right away. Instead, he opened a drawer and pulled out a ruler.

He held it in front of her. “What’s this?”

Louisa said, “A ruler.”

Julian said, “Right. A ruler has units of measurement. But can it represent length itself?”

Louisa was stumped.

She looked at the ruler, then at Julian.

At Julian, then back at the ruler.

Suddenly she understood. “You’re saying money is like this ruler-it’s just a standard for measuring wealth, but it doesn’t re

itself?”

“Very clever.” Julian smiled and kissed her lips briefly, then continued. “Let’s imagine an extreme scenario. Say the world des chaos, resources are scarce, and you have ten billion in cash but can’t buy food, water, or medicine. In that moment, you’d r

is useless. What’s truly valuable are supplies, safety, and survival skills.”

Louisa thought for a long moment. “What you’re saying makes sense, but this isn’t the apocalypse. People are worldly. You va wealth, but you can’t deny that most people still value material wealth and human capital.”

Julian said, “Fine. If you want to talk about worldly matters, let’s use the most realistic current example. Recently, many peopl

called you with job offers, right?”

Louisa nodded. “Yes.”

Julian said, “You’re recognized as a business genius. So how much do you think your business acumen is worth?”

Louisa was stumped. She couldn’t say.

Julian said, “See? You can’t put a price on your business talent, but your talent can create endless value. That’s your wealth.”

He paused, looking at her. “I believe that given ten years, you could build your own empire. Those so-called ‘rich young ladies’ were born into wealthy families-at best, they’re second-generation rich. You have the ability to build your own success. You’re a true firs generation entrepreneur. Compared to you, what are those rich young ladies?”

Louisa was speechless, her heart stirring with indescribable excitement.

Maybe it really was like that.

She met Julian’s gaze, looking into his eyes bright as stars, feeling a warmth in her chest-deeply moved.

She suddenly felt like she was more impressive than any rich young lady. What should she do?

Julian saw her secretly pleased expression and laughed too. “Mr. William Tudor personally recruiting you already proves your ability, doesn’t it? He’s already accepted you. My mom can’t accept ‘Louisa’ right now because she doesn’t truly know you yet. I believe she II like you. Just give her a buffer period-give her a chance, okay?”

“Why am I the one giving her a chance?” Louisa muttered quietly.

Even if Adeline was willing to accept her, shouldn’t it depend on whether she was willing to accept Adeline?

Why should she have to endure it when Adeline rejected her, but then happily accept Adeline when she finally come around?
