Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Please?

Faced with Aurelia’s sharpness, Lauren found herself completely unable to respond.

Fortunately, Ray arrived at that moment.

From last night until now, Marilyn had been searching for Aurelia nonstop. The situation in Germany had her genuinely panicked.

Compared to the day before at Oakridge Estate, Ray’s attitude toward Aurelia was noticeably more respectful now.

“Mrs. Hawthorne.”

Hearing the words “Mrs. Hawthorne”, Aurelia let out a soft, dazed laugh.

In the quiet hospital corridor, the sound was especially cutting.

Ray felt distinctly uncomfortable inside, but he did not dare show it on his face.

After laughing enough, Aurelia spoke with open sarcasm. “Mrs. Hawthorne? Not Ms. Sterling? Yesterday at Oakridge Estate, in the house Dominic and I lived in as husband and wife, you

me Ms. Sterling.”

So yesterday, he had been reminding her that even married to Dominic, she was still just Ms. Sterling?

It seemed Sebastian had been very effective overnight.

Enough to push Marilyn into this level of concession.

When Dominic heard that Ray had called Aurelia “Ms. Sterling” yesterday, his expression darkened further.

Ray’s face tightened as well, but he still forced himself to continue.

“Mrs. Drake would like to see you. She asks that you come to her room. Please.”

When he said the word “please”, Ray lowered his head even further, his tone unmistakably deferential.

Seeing his attitude, Aurelia became even more certain that the situation in Germany had dealt Marilyn a severe blow.

A severe one.

For years, Marilyn had relied almost entirely on her export business, and more than ninety percent of those exports went to Germany.

equivalent to her entire foundation collapsing.

“What is there for me to see?” Aurelia replied coolly. “I’m in her daughter’s way. If I go see her, wouldn’t that just make her even more upset?”

Ray and Lauren both fell silent.

The moment she said “in her daughter’s way”, Dominic’s expression also turned unpleasant.

Since Adrian’s death, Dominic was well aware of what Marilyn, and by extension the Hawthorne family, had been planning.

But hearing it spoken aloud by Aurelia, the grip of his hand around hers tightened unconsciously.

Aurelia raised an eyebrow at Ray. “I just sent someone to the hospital in anger. In my current mood, I’m really not sure I should meet Mrs. Drake.”

Ray froze, his expression stiffening instantly.

“And besides,” Aurelia continued lightly, “someone as insignificant as me wouldn’t be able to help Mrs. Drake with anything anyway.”

And today she was already eager to reconcile?

Aurelia smiled faintly, but her tone turned cold. “Having a person of no importance go see her would actually look rather undignified. Don’t you think?”

Ray’s expression stiffened at her words.

He knew very well that when Marilyn wasn’t in a position to ask for anything, her words could be vicious and merciless.

But she had never paid a real price for it.

That was why, all these years, she had spoken and acted with such unchecked arrogance.

He had simply not expected her to fall this hard.

Aurelia had no intention of continuing the exchange. After leaving those words behind, she wore a blinding smile and shook off Dominic’s hand as she walked away.

She had taken only two steps when Dominic caught her wrist again.

Ray wanted to say something more.

Under that gaze, Ray swallowed everything he had left to say.

Dominic left with Aurelia.

The hospital was left in a state of collective frustration. Eleanor felt suffocated with anger, and Lydia was furious as well.

After Dominic left, Lydia complained incessantly.

“I really don’t understand what Dominic is thinking. He used to like women who were obedient, I believe?”

God, it’s infuriating.

If they were talking about obedience, Aurelia had never truly seemed that obedient anyway. If she were, she would not have persuaded Dominic to move out in the first place.

And she had taken over Oakridge Estate, which was such a fine

property.

Eleanor was already irritated, and hearing Lydia keep talking about Aurelia only fueled her anger. “Enough. Stop talking.”

“I’m just angry. Lauren is so much better,” Lydia muttered.

Speaking of Lauren, she had gone to Marilyn’s room.

hospital by Aurelia, Eleanor felt even more agitated.

She had once thought that Marilyn’s return from abroad would finally put Aurelia in her place.

Instead, it had been a complete humiliation.

Not only did Aurelia come out unscathed, but their side took hit after hit.

*****

Inside Marilyn’s hospital room…

When Ray returned without Aurelia, the bruising across Marilyn’s face made her expression darken even further.

“What happened?” she demanded. “Didn’t I tell you to invite her?”

Invite.

For years, aside from her most valuable business partners, Marilyn had never needed to use it on anyone else.

This time, she had no choice.

“Ms. Sterling refuses to see you,” Ray replied. “Her attitude was also very poor.”

“Poor or not, you should still have brought her to my room first,” Marilyn snapped.

“But no matter what I said, she wouldn’t come,” Ray said, sounding helpless.

Marilyn fell silent.

Hearing that, her chest tightened even more.

If she could not see Aurelia, what were they supposed to do

now?

Ray spoke evenly, making no attempt to soften the truth for anyone. “Yesterday, you said she was worthless. Ms. Sterling remembers those words very clearly.”

Marilyn froze.

Her expression stiffened completely in that instant.

Of course she remembered what she had said.

So this was Aurelia retaliating against her openly now?

“So she won’t see me,” Marilyn said slowly.

Even if she was already willing to back down and make concessions, Aurelia still refused to see her.

Fine.

Aurelia had made it so that now, even if Marilyn wanted to beg her, she did not even know where to begin.
