Chapter 576
Seeing the argument finally die down, the bishop approached. “Everyone-”
Julian cut him off. “As you can see, we’re not here together. Let’s skip whatever comes next. We’ll come back another day.”
The bishop looked troubled. “What should I tell Mrs. Echo Tudor?”
Julian’s lips curved slightly. “Tell her exactly what happened. Don’t leave out a single word.”
“Wait!” Beatrix panicked, realizing their goal hadn’t been achieved-and worse, things had gotten messier.
If Echo heard about today, would she abandon the marriage alliance altogether?
‘I should never have let Lorelei come. She only causes trouble.’
Lorelei put on a pained expression. “Then let’s do as Mr. Tudor says. When we return, we’ll also report to Mother. We’ll tell her everythi
-how I angered the entire Getty family. I’m a criminal for the ages. It’s fine. I’ll apologize to both sides.”
‘Old two-faced homewrecker, acting like she’s been terribly wronged.’
Adeline was so furious she could spit blood.
Louisa spoke up from behind. “Mrs. Tudor, it’s fine. Let her apologize.”
“What?” Adeline frowned at Louisa, not understanding.
Louisa’s gaze was fixed on Lorelei.
Lorelei’s eyes were downcast in sorrow, but something cold and ghostly flickered beneath.
Louisa smiled softly. “Mrs. Getty has such high moral awareness. If Mrs. Tudor keeps pressing, both grandmothers will say you’re being too aggressive. Why not give Mrs. Getty a chance to perform? But…”
She paused, a hint of concern entering her eyes. “Mrs. Getty is only apologizing to Mrs. Opal Getty. If she doesn’t make some gesture toward Mrs. Echo Tudor as well, I’m afraid the two families might develop a rift. How about this-let Mrs. Tudor record a video for you to take back. I suggest you kneel before the altar and repent. That would be much more effective and would definitely mend the divide
between the families in one go.”
Everyone in the courtyard was stunned.
Kneel before Jesus and apologize?

That’s too…
‘Louisa’s amazing!” Amelia was the first to shout.
Flora laughed. “Anyone who messes with our Louisa-this is what you get.”
Alicia smiled. “Who knew our future third sister-in-law wielded the sharpest gentle blade?”
That cut deep.
Sadie said, ‘She just exposed Lorelei’s retreat-to-advance strategy.”
Everyone grew excited.
The bishop was losing it. “This is a sacred place. Stop fighting…”
As for Julian and the others? They were thrilled to watch the show.
Justin wanted to ask the priest for some sunflower seeds so he could squat and watch the drama unfold.
Hazel and George hid inside the church, playing dead.
The priests inside wanted to shout: Please stop fighting!
But Louisa and Lorelei, the main players on stage, continued their duel.
Lorelei ground her teeth in fury.
Adeline, on the other hand, felt exhilarated.
She hadn’t understood Louisa’s intention at first, but now the frustration in her chest had completely cleared. The more she watched, the more pleased she became.
Julian’s eyes gleamed with amusement. He walked to Louisa’s side and looked at Lorelei. ‘I have to say, that’s a very thoughtful solution. Since Mrs. Getty is so sincere, and my mother is a reasonable person, I’ll record the video myself. When we return, I’ll personally accompany my mother to deliver it to Grandmother for her review.”
With those words, Lorelei-who hadn’t planned to record any video-was now backed into a corner. It seemed she had no choice but to do
Louisa’s smile turned wicked.
After a long silence, Lorelei finally lifted her eyes. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.
