After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574

Lorelei sipped her tea

Her demeanor was calm and composed, but her eyes held a glint of ruthlessness. Have confidence. Adeline hates me, not the City family. Besides, Helena is the most accomplished and virtuous of the Getty granddaughters. Mother values her Righty and is keen on a marriage alliance with the Tudor family. Mrs. Echo Todor has been very receptive. Adeline only throws tantrums in front of us in front of her mother-in-law, she wouldn’t dare say a word.”

Beatrix relaxed at her words.

That was true. The Tudor family was the top household in Silverlight City, and the Getty family held the same position in Sunris City.

Their status made them a perfect match.

For families like theirs, dating before marriage didn’t matter much-whoever they dated was irrelevant.

But when it came to actual marriage, how could they be careless? The first consideration was always compatibility of status, and only then mutual affection.

Countless arranged couples lived their entire lives without love, but compared to maintaining family prosperity for generations, that was trivial.

Opal had sent them to the church specifically to “run into the Tudor family.

Everything after that, Opal had arranged. She’d even sent Sloane, her youngest daughter, along.

As for Lorelei, she’d insisted on coming herself.

According to Lorelei, it was she who’d convinced Sloane to bring up the marriage alliance to Opal in the first place.

Beatrix didn’t know why Lorelei was suddenly trying to curry favor with her, but it was better than having her as an enemy,

Next door.

Julian’s group was eating lunch.

Whether it was Adeline’s stony silence or the presence of the three women next door, everyone ate quietly, beads down, without a

word.

After they finished, Lorelei’s group started their meal.

Julian’s group skipped the post-lunch mist untirely and left the room immediately.

The moment they stopped out, Lorelei’s group followed.

In the corridor, Amelia glanced back and said, as if she’d seen a ghost, “They’re following us.

Everyone remained calm. No one looked back.

Alicia said helplessly, “Why are you freaking out? Let them follow. There are three of them and twelve of us. Even if it comes to a fight, we’ve got the advantage.”

Amelia said, “I’m just worried about Mom-

Before she could finish, Alicia covered her mouth.

Adeline and Jonathan walked at the front.

Her daughter’s words had reached Adeline’s ears.

She was already irritated. Now she didn’t even feel like praying anymore.

All she wanted was to go home, lock herself in her room, and calm down.

Louisa and Julian walked together.

The others formed small groups of two or three.

Noah brought up the rear alone.

Though no one spoke, they all had the same question on their minds: What is Lorelei up to this time? She brought two women-

doesn’t seem like an assassination attempt.

But if not assassination, what?

No idea.

Before long, Julian’s group of twelve, plus Lorelei’s three, all filed into the church.

The once-quiet space suddenly buzzed with activity.

The two priests who’d guided them earlier were also present.

Julian had no intention of wasting time, Without waiting for the priests to fetch their bishop, he had his mother pray first.

The others followed suit one by one.

During this time. Lorelel’s group watched quietly. They didn t interrupt or crowd them,

Halfway through, the church’s bishop arrived.

He was a thin, kindly-looking man in his sixties.

Seeing everyone praying, he didn’t interrupt.

Only after Julian’s group finished did the bishop approach. Mrs. Echo Tudor has told me everything. Please wait a moment. Once those three finish their prayers, everyone can come with me,”

Adeline frowned. Why do we have to wait for Lorelei?

She didn’t understand what he meant.

But Louisa caught it. The bishop had said “everyone,” which suggested he knew they were acquainted with Lorelei, but not close.

How did the bishop know that?

Echo?

She glanced at Julian. His expression was cold.

He must have realized it too.

Looking around, everyone except Amelia-who’d already wandered outside with Noah out of boredom-seemed deep in thought.

Even little Justin had figured it out.

Adeline didn’t want to breathe the same air as Lorelei any longer. She walked out with a dark expression.

As Alicia passed Amelia, she muttered, “Congratulations to us. Grandma’s bored and stirring up trouble again.”

Her grandmother spent all year in the prayer room reading scriptures. The moment she emerged, she started meddling.
