After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572

The moment Adeline saw her, rage twisted her features. Her good mood evaporated.

Every time she saw this woman, the memories came flooding back.

The scars that had slowly healed over time began to throb again.

When she’d received the news of Melinda’s death, the unbearable pain….

She was certain Melinda had been murdered by this vicious woman.

She wanted Lorelei to pay with her life.

But despite exhausting every avenue, she couldn’t pin any charges on her.

Good people die young, while disasters live forever.

Adeline glared at her. “Who’s familiar with you? I don’t associate with homewreckers who destroy families.

Lorelei didn’t seem bothered. She smiled. “Adeline, it’s been so many years. Haven’t you calmed down yet?”

Two other women accompanied Lorelei. One was Beatrix Nelson, wife of the Getty family’s third son, Victor Getty.

Victor was from a branch family, adopted into the main Getty household as a child. Oliver’s mother, Opal, had always treated him like her own.

The other was Sloane Getty, the youngest daughter of the Getty family and Opal’s precious jewel.

Hearing Adeline’s bluntness, both women looked uncomfortable, but neither spoke.

They didn’t defend Melinda. They didn’t defend Lorelei either.

That alone broke Adeline’s heart. These ungrateful wretches. Melinda was so good to them back then, and now they’re cozying up to

this murderer.

Adeline said coldly. “Until you’re struck dead by lightning, Lorelei, I’ll never let this go.”

She turned to her children. “Let’s go.”

Julian’s cold gaze slid away from Lorelei.

Louisa, like the others, watched silently.

As they passed Lorelei, she called out softly, “Ms. Forbes, we meet again.”

Her voice carried a smile. Her face wore a smile. But to Louisa, it fell like encountering a ghost in broad daylight.

“Goodbye Louisa returned the polite smile and walked away.

Beatrix and Sloane stared at Louisa like they’d seen a ghost. Why does this woman look so much like the fate Melindar

Adeline walked ahead quickly, oblivious to what had been said behind her.

After walking for a while, she stopped at a designated meeting point.

The priest who was supposed to guide them hadn’t arrived yet.

Adeline realized she’d been harsh and said some uncivilized things.

She turned to Louisa and the others with an apologetic smile. “I’m sorry. I ran into someone I can’t stand and got a little heated. Please don’t think I’m mean.”

Sadie said, “Not at all. I think you were right. Homewreckers like that deserve to rot in hell.

Flora said, “Exactly. If it were me, I’d show her what real violence looks like.”

Rachel didn’t say anything, just smiled.

The three of them had initially had reservations about Adeline because of how she’d treated Louisa.

But after this scene, they were starting to like her.

The way she treated Lorelei showed she was genuine at heart.

Even if she had disagreements with her son about his choice of wife, someone who hated evil this fiercely couldn’t be all bad.

Adeline’s face flushed at their words. Then she realized Verde hadn’t said anything.

Her gaze landed on Louisa. “Verde, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you have a different opinion?”

Louisa smiled faintly. “No, Mrs. Tudor. I think you’re pretty cool.

Adeline brightened.

Alicia sidled up to Julian and whispered, Julian, you’re not doing a great job with the pillow talk.”

Flora, who’d grown up with Julian, was naturally close to Adeline.

Sadie and Rachel also spoke warmly to her.

kept politely calling her “Mrs. Tudor.”

Alicia noticed the detail.

Apparently, it wasn’t just her mother who hadn’t accepted Louisa Louisa hadn’t accepted the Tudor family either.

Julian had a long road ahead of him.

Julian gave her a cool look. “Then you do it.

He knew full well the problem wasn’t with Louisa. It was with his mother.

Until his mother let go of her prejudice, he wouldn’t ask Louisa to humble herself.

Just then, Lorelei’s group caught up.

Watching the Tudor family chatting cheerfully, Lorelei looked at Louisa with a friendly smile. “We just said goodbye, and here we are again. Isn’t that right, Ms. Forbes?”

Ms. Forbes.

The name dropped into everyone’s ears like a bomb.

Adeline’s face went blank with shock.

The eleven others fell silent.

Had it really been exposed that blatantly?

The air seemed to freeze.

No one spoke.

No one moved.

Time stretched.

Julian recovered first.

He was the only one who could handle this.

He called out calmly, “Mom.”

Adeline said, “Don’t talk to her. We’re leaving.”

She walked away quickly.

She didn’t even care about the blazing sun anymore.

Amellu immediately raised her hand and climbed onto Noah’s back.

The others, having failed to claim the human sedan chait, looked dejected.

Adeline walked in a slage the whole time, as if her soul had left her body.

Jonathan supported her as she walked.

She looked like she might trip at any moment.

Louisa tugged on Julian’s sleeve and whispered, “Maybe you should talk to your mom?
