After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565

But then she thought again-that didn’t make sense. George wouldn’t be kind enough to tell Julian.

So what was George here for?

Could it be… he was going to trick Julian into thinking the baby was his-George’s?

That sounded more like something George would say.

As she was thinking, suddenly a loud “bang” came from the study.

Louisa quickly got up and went over.

The study door was open.

She looked inside to see George pinned to the floor by Noah, his arms twisted behind his back.

Julian sat on the sofa, amusement in his eyes though his expression was serious. “Noah, don’t be so rough. Mr. Capulet’s hands were j

itching-he accidentally knocked over the globe. Help Mr. Capulet up.”

Hearing this, Noah loosened his grip.

He’d been eavesdropping outside the door earlier.

At first, there’d been music playing in the study, making it hard to hear clearly.

Suddenly the music stopped, followed by a loud bang. He’d immediately pushed the door open and rushed in to see George holding a

massive globe.

At the time, he’d thought George was about to throw the globe at Mr. Tudor.

Now hearing Julian’s words, he pulled George up from the floor. ‘Sorry about that.

George’s face was dark as he rubbed his arm, which had nearly been twisted off, and shot Noah an angry glare.

What was this guy fed growing up? How was he so strong?

Julian said, “Mr. Capulet, regarding what we just discussed, I can give you an answer right now. We can cooperate, but I have one

condition.

George sat down. “Go ahead. What condition?

Julian said, “You have to listen to me.”

George immediately flared up again.

He was the CEO of the Capulet Group, always accustomed to being arrogant. Cooperating with a romantic rival was already a co

Now he had to listen to Julian? Why should he?

Where would George’s pride go?

He immediately retorted, “We can discuss things together when issues arise. Why should we definitely listen to you? What makes

always right?”

Julian sighed helplessly. “Mr. Capulet, you’re not exactly young-why are you still so childish? Forget it. Go home and think it over

more.’

With that, he had Noah pick up the globe and give it to George. “The globe’s yours. Take it home and roll it around on the floor.”

George’s face turned livid. He clenched his fists.

Of course he didn’t take the globe. He simply stood and walked toward the door.

Seeing this, Louisa quickly returned to the living room.

But George actually followed her. “Louisa.”

Louisa didn’t look back. “Take care, Mr. Capulet.”

Very polite.

A bitter feeling rose in George’s chest. “Don’t you know ‘take care’ is what you say to the dead? If I died someday, wouldn’t you feel bad?

Louisa was cold. ‘No.’

George smiled bitterly. I knew you’d say that.”

Louisa laughed despite herself. ‘You knew and you still asked? Looking for punishment? Fine, go home. Sleep early-you’ll definitely live

longer.

Hearing this, George’s eyes lit up and his heart didn’t feel so bitter anymore. Louisa still cares about me in her heart. She wants me to live long. She must still have feelings for me.”

Louisa had no idea her casual remark had made him imagine another tragic love story.

But his increasingly bright eyes made her skin crawl.

Sure enough-

George started again. “About the baby, I’ll help you contact a hospital. Even though we’re not married anymore, you need someon

care of you during this.”

He wore an expression of selfless love.

Louisa said, “…Thank you so much.”

Her tone was through gritted teeth.

George took it as her not wanting to face reality. He said, ‘I’ll be going then.”

Of course Louisa ignored him, just staring thoughtfully at the door.

She wanted to ask-had George come to discuss that project cooperation with Julian again?

But thinking it over, she decided against it.

They’d closed the door to talk without letting her listen because they didn’t want her to know.

Better she didn’t know.

She turned around.

Unexpectedly, she met Julian’s deep gaze directly.

He asked, “Nothing you want to ask?*

Louisa shrugged.

She didn’t take his bait.

After hesitating a moment, she brought up her own matter. “Yesterday Noah said I was being followed. Who do you think it is? Lorelei? I’ve been thinking it over, and those photos from before seem like a warning. If the person who sent the photos and the person following me are both her, that proves she knows a lot about both our families. She might not even want your mom to find me.”

Julian pulled her by the shoulder to sit on the sofa, smiling. “No wonder you’re coming clean with me. You’re afraid you’ll be kidnapped by whoever’s following you, and I won’t know anything and can’t save you, right? Being afraid of death is a good thing.”

Louisa kicked him angrily. “Who isn’t afraid of death? I’m not a suicide squad member.”

With that, she got up to return to her room.

Julian grabbed her arm and pulled her onto his lap, smiling as he comforted her. “Silly girl, how could I laugh at you? I’ve already le

into this. Someone has indeed been watching you. I had my suspicions even before yesterday. So many people attended that ball-

someone was bound to know your identity and my mom’s. They didn’t want you to appear, so when you returned to Silverlight City

monitored you secretly, just to prevent you and my mom from discovering each other.”

Louisa looked at him. ‘So who is it exactly? Do you already know?”

Julian said, “Do you know the Taylor family? Jewelry tycoons. Previously, the Taylor family’s daughter Layla used information from th ball to impersonate you and claim credit for saving my mom at our house. This Taylor family isn’t as simple as they seem.”

Louisa didn’t understand. “What do you mean?”

Julian said, “Think about it. Your escape route was through a room-a sealed room. Besides you and Flora and the other two girls, ther were only my mom and George’s mom. Only the six of you were in that room. So how did Layla know what happened? Flora and the others wouldn’t betray you. Hazel never met Layla. So how did Layla find out? Did she hear it from a seventh person?”

Louisa understood. “You mean, besides the six of us who knew the truth, if there was a seventh person, it had to be surveillance. Layla

could access the ball’s security footage?”

Julian reminded her, “But all the surveillance from that night was wiped clean.”

Louisa said, “Mrs. Boleyn was almost silenced, and the surveillance was wiped in time. So the person who wiped the surveillance must b the ball’s host-Lorelei. Only Lorelei has that footage. In other words, only Lorelei knows the whole truth.”

Getting to this point, she suddenly realized. She looked at Julian. “You’re saying the Taylor family are Lorelei’s people? Lorelei failed to harm your mother, so she used another scheme? The person following me is also her?”
