After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 578

Chapter 578

Beatrix stood there, completely stunned.

Lorelei didn’t bother with her anymore and turned to walk out.

Still processing, Beatrix touched her face and asked blankly, “What does she mean?”

Lorelei shouldn’t have come today in the first place.

Because the moment she showed up, she was bound to clash with Adeline.

And once they clashed, everything would fall apart.

Now she was actually telling Beatrix to go tattle on her to Opal?

Beatrix couldn’t wrap her head around Lorelei’s logic at all.

Sloane shot her a cold look. “With that pea brain of yours, of course you can’t compete with her.”

With that, Sloane also turned and walked out.

Beatrix’s face, already flushed from being slapped, now burned even redder with humiliation.

With things escalating like this, the bishop naturally didn’t dare say anything more.

He quickly had the protective charms brought out and skipped all the remaining rituals.

After bidding farewell, he had several priests escort them to the cable car station.

George and Hazel followed along with Julian’s group.

Louisa was honestly speechless.

What started as a party of twelve had ballooned to fourteen.

Here she was with her best friends, her boyfriend, her boyfriend’s younger siblings, bodyguards, the mother-in-law who couldn’t accept her, plus her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law.

This absurd combination was truly unmatched.

Adeline was in good spirits and glanced back at Hazel.

Noticing her gaze, Hazel returned the look and nodded slightly.

Then both quickly looked away, avoiding the awkward moment.

Flora walked over to Adeline with a mischievous air. “Mrs. Tudor, don’t you think Mrs. Capulet looks familiar? You two have a

spoken before, you know.”

Adeline said, “How do you know we’ve met?”

The others were drawn to their conversation, but no one stopped walking-they just perked up their ears to listen.

Hazel couldn’t help but quicken her pace a few steps to hear better.

Flora pointed to herself with a smile. “I was the girl in the yellow dress. Louisa was in green, Sadie in blue, Rachel in pink. You

Capulet were the two ladies crying and begging to follow us that day.”

Now both Adeline and Hazel felt even more awkward, not daring to even glance at each other.

Rachel chimed in, “Honestly, I didn’t want to save you two at the time. In that situation, who has the energy to worry about stra Plus, these days good deeds never go unpunished. Even though I said we shouldn’t get involved, my silly Louisa here-knowing one of you was her dismissive ex-mother-in-law and the other a stranger who’d been set up-still helped. She brought you along let you go first when it mattered. But facts prove that kindness is the most useless thing in this world. How could it compare to

into the right family? Am I right, ladies?”

She spoke with a smile, but her words were slapping their faces.

Adeline felt her cheeks burning.

Hazel’s expression was equally uncomfortable.

Her relationship with Louisa had been cold all these years, and the root cause was simple: they weren’t a good match.

She had wanted a daughter-in-law who came from the right background and could actually benefit the Capulet family.

Who knew her son would refuse to break up, even arguing and defying her, and finally just going ahead and marrying Louisa withou

permission?

This series of moves had triggered all her negative emotions as a mother, to the point where she couldn’t bring herself to like Louisa

matter what.

Eventually it became: if she started liking Louisa, she would lose.

This vicious cycle trapped her in an unreasonable hatred.

Back then, wasn’t she just like Adeline today?

Everyone’s position, status, and considerations were different.

After all, people were self-serving.

They were both selfish and cold.

But then again, how many people in this world weren’t selfish?

Louisa had saved them at the gala. Didn’t they appreciate her kindness?

They didn’t want to admit it because they couldn’t face their own selfishness.

More importantly, they were afraid that if they started to waver and actually like her, they’d betray their original stance.

Now that someone had stripped everything bare so bluntly, it was truly mortifying.

Rachel looked back and forth between their faces, studying their expressions.

Mission accomplished. But she wanted to push a little more.

She smiled. “So, ladies, do you have any thoughts you’d like to share?”

That’s all it took to mortify them?

Just because they were born into wealth, they looked down on Louisa so easily and tormented her.

Couldn’t Louisa fight back?

With their courage and intelligence, if Louisa had been even slightly malicious, she could’ve destroyed them completely.

Louisa simply didn’t care to.

Jeffrey silently glanced at Rachel but said nothing.

Rachel gave him a look right back: ‘What, you upset I’m calling out your mom?

Jeffrey sighed. …No.”
