After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94

Louisa’s final words were delivered with weight and confidence.

She wasn’t merely trying to intimidate Lena–if Lena remained stubbornly loyal, she truly would end up in prison alongside Patrick.

At this point, Louisa was almost certain she had convinced her.

Unexpectedly, Patrick stormed in from outside, carrying a can of gasoline.

“I told you to keep her mouth taped!” he shouted at Lena. “This Louisa is skilled at sweet talk, and here you are listening to her nonsense!

“We don’t have time. She knows too much. We need to get rid of her. Find a lighter–we’ll burn her and all this data in this

room. Then there won’t be any evidence that could threaten us.”

With that, he splashed the gasoline forcefully around the room. The strong smell hit Louisa’s nostrils, making her

instinctively turn her head away. Fortunately, none of it splashed directly on her.

When Patrick saw Lena frozen in place, he ignored her, quickly found a lighter, and without hesitation, flicked it on.

The moment the flame appeared, enhanced by the gasoline, fire spread rapidly.

Louisa remained bound on the floor.

Patrick covered his nose with one hand and reached for Lena with the other. “Come with me! Hurry!”

“No!” Lena pulled away forcefully. “You and Judith have done enough wrong already. It can’t be covered up anymore. If you turn yourselves in now, you still have a chance. Don’t make another mistake–neither of you can bear the weight of

murder…”

She was trying to persuade Patrick to turn back, but how could he listen at a time like this? He only knew that if they didn’t eliminate Louisa, they would all be finished.

He grabbed Lena firmly, intending to drag her out. Lena couldn’t match his strength and was being pulled toward the exit

when Patrick’s phone rang.

It was Judith.

Patrick quickly answered. “Judith… What? If anything happens to Louisa, Mr. Tudor will make our company disappear from

this world?”

Thinking he had misheard, he urgently sought a quieter place to confirm, unconsciously releasing his grip on Lena.

Lena didn’t waste time trying to convince him anymore. She immediately rushed to Louisa’s side, pulling out a small knife to cut her ropes.

Meanwhile, as Patrick confirmed he hadn’t misheard and was deliberating whether to actually release Louisa, a burning beam from the ceiling crashed down directly in front of him, blocking the only exit.

He couldn’t get in, and Louisa and Lena couldn’t get out.

A cruel smile appeared on his face. This wasn’t his fault anymore. He turned and left, abandoning them to the consuming flames.

The old villa was only about ten miles from Aurora Media Group headquarters, situated in the suburbs. Patrick drove back quickly, reaching headquarters in less than ten minutes.

Judith was already in the first–floor lobby, looking anxious and scanning the area as if searching for someone.

Assuming she was looking for him, Patrick approached her immediately. “Judith, I’m back.”

Her expression didn’t improve. “Where’s Louisa?” she demanded.

“She…” Patrick hesitated. “Your call came too late. The house was already on fire. By now, she’s probably burned to

ashes…”

“You idiot!” Judith snapped furiously.

Patrick felt wronged. “You’re the one who said the Tudor Group already suspected us and that we couldn’t let her leave

with the information.

“Are you sure you heard correctly? Was that Mr. Young really conveying Mr. Tudor’s orders? Who exactly is Louisa? Why does Mr. Tudor care about her so much?”

“How can you still focus on these irrelevant questions?” Judith snapped. “Mr. Tudor has stopped our loan and sent people to audit our accounts. He clearly suspects us. If he already has evidence of our embezzlement, then-”

“No,” Patrick interrupted urgently. “Our third installment of the loan was approved, which means there were no problems before. They’re auditing today precisely because they don’t have concrete evidence.

“Louisa was the only one who saw the accounts, and now she’s trapped in that burning house, reduced to ashes. There’s no witness. As long as we deny everything, we’ll be fine.”

Hearing this, Judith calmed down. “You’re right. If we maintain our denial, they have no proof against us. But that alone isn’t enough…”

She needed to do something to divert attention. Suddenly, she thought of Teresa.

She knew Teresa had always had feelings for Julian–she could be a useful pawn. With this in mind, she immediately called. her, feigning innocence while stirring trouble.

“Ms. Hughes, we’ve been partners with the Tudor Group for years. Would Mr. Tudor really treat us this way over a mere manager? Who exactly is this Louisa to him? Why does he care so much?”

Teresa’s grip on the steering wheel tightened dramatically.

Even through the phone, Judith could sense her jealousy from the silence. She continued to fan the flames.

“I just returned to the company and haven’t seen Ms. Forbes yet. None of our staff has seen her–they say she left two

hours ago. Her voice took on a note of indignation.

“If something happens to her outside, will Mr. Tudor blame us for that too? Even if he likes this little manager, he shouldn’t mix personal feelings with business affairs. Isn’t that unprofessional?

“How is he different from a tyrant, acting so impulsively over a woman and trying to drag Aurora Media Group down with

him?”

This barrage of questions pushed Teresa’s jealousy to its peak. Suppressing her anger, she replied, “Enough. Let’s talk when

I reach Aurora Media Group.”

Judith smiled. “We’re counting on you. You’re Mr. Tudor’s beloved sister, and I hear your adopted parents–the Tudor Group’s chairman and his wife adore you. I suggest you call him right now to rein in Mr. Tudor. Otherwise, how can he justify such unprofessional behavior?”
