Chapter 109 Call the Police

Even so, Lauren forced herself to sound calm as she tried to soothe Eleanor. “Eleanor, please do not worry. Adrian will be fine.”
Adrian. That name was deliberate.
No matter the situation, no matter who was present, whenever Lauren stood before the Hawthorne family, she always called Dominic “Adrian”.
Over time, the family had come to a quiet conclusion: Lauren’s condition was far more severe than the doctors had described. She had never truly accepted Adrian’s death.
After all, Dominic and Adrian shared the same face.
Her refusal to face reality only deepened everyone’s sympathy.
Eleanor, however, felt a sharp pressure pounding at her temples. “Poison,” she snapped. “She has moved on to poisoning now. Is there anything she would not dare to do?”
Her mind raced through the past months: the fire at Emerald Bay Residences, the deliberate blaze at Oakridge Estate…

Whatever Rachel had said before, whether Aurelia’s miscarriage was real or not, no longer mattered.
At this moment, Eleanor wanted her behind bars.
Sharon, who followed closely behind, hesitated. Her voice dropped. “But Mr. Hawthorne…”
“What about him?” Eleanor cut her off sharply. “He was nearly killed. You expect me to show mercy now?”
Her voice trembled with fury.
There was no way she would let Aurelia go.
If Eleanor could not destroy Aurelia herself, she would let the
law do it.
“Why are you still standing there?” she barked. “Make the call.”
But Sharon did not move.
She was quite afraid of Dominic.
Everyone could see it. Despite the chaos of recent weeks, despite the scandals and confrontations, Aurelia remained
untouched.

Instead, he actually protected her.
If they reported Aurelia while Dominic was still unconscious, and if she was taken away in his absence, the consequences once he woke would be unforgivable.
So, Sharon did not dare.
“No?” Eleanor laughed bitterly. “Then I will.”
She took out her phone and dialed herself.
Aurelia must hate their guts to actually try to poison Dominic.
She had lived off the Hawthorne family for years. Everything she owned came from them. And this was how she repaid
them.
If Aurelia was not taught a lesson now, she would believe she was untouchable.
Just as the call was about to connect, Lauren suddenly reached out and stopped her. “Eleanor,” she said softly. “If you call the police, Adrian will be angry.”
Eleanor froze.

“Maybe we should let it go.”

Eleanor stared at her, incredulous. “You are still defending her? Lauren, have you already forgotten everything she has done to you? There are times when kindness is nothing more than weakness.”
Lauren’s words only made Eleanor more furious. She pulled her hand free and made the report.

Meanwhile, at Westchester County.
Evelyn was pinned to the floor by two security guards, her face drained of color. “I will give you a choice,” Aurelia said calmly. “Either I send you directly to the police station, or you tell me everything now.”
Aurelia sat on the sofa, her presence lethal.
The room felt suffocating. Her gaze alone made people uneasy.
“I cannot go to the police,” Evelyn cried, shaking her head violently. “I’ll be doomed.”
“Then talk,” Aurelia replied. “Who ordered you to poison the

The poison had clearly been intended for her.
If Mary had not mentioned it in passing, Aurelia would have been the one rushed into emergency care.
The thought made her eyes darken.
Dominic and his family never failed to surprise her.
He had been so firm and protective when he asked to marry her. Now, she was almost killed right before his eyes.
Evelyn hesitated, lips trembling.
“Still refusing?” Aurelia asked.
Her tone grew even colder.
“I cannot say it. I truly cannot…”
Her tears came too easily. She was clearly being threatened.
“Then prison,” Aurelia said simply.
“No!” Evelyn panicked, shaking her head. “I cannot go to
prison either!”

Aurelia narrowed her eyes slightly. “Then what? You actually believe I’d show mercy?”
Evelyn’s breath hitched.
No one who had watched the Hawthorne family implode believed Aurelia was merciful.
If she were, all the chaos that had happened recently would never exist.
The ruthlessness inside Aurelia made her tremble in fear.
“Please,” Evelyn sobbed. “Please spare me…”
Aurelia gave a small nod. One of the guards stepped forward and snapped one of Evelyn’s fingers without hesitation.
Immediately, her scream pierced the room.
The guard stood up with a straight face.
Evelyn collapsed, clutching her hand, convulsing in agony.
“Now,” Aurelia asked evenly, “are you ready to speak?”
“I… I did it myself…”

Aurelia glanced at the guard again, who stepped forward and broke another finger.
“Argh!”
But then, her scream was cut short by the sound of sirens outside.
The police had arrived.
Along with them came Lydia.
The moment Lydia saw Evelyn writhing on the floor, her face twisted with rage.
“You vicious woman!” she shouted at Aurelia. “We’ve always treated our staff generously. Who gave you the right to act like
this?”
Lydia was furious.
But Aurelia smiled mockingly when she saw Lydia arriving with the police.
Lydia turned to the officers, her voice hysterical. “Arrest her. She poisoned my brother, trying to murder him just to force a divorce. What a monster. She deserves life in prison!”
