Eleanor swallowed whatever she had been about to say. She turned on her heel and stormed out of the room, anger rolling off her like heat.

Lauren and Lydia watched her leave.

Lauren looked as though she wanted to speak, but Lydia got there first, choosing her words carefully as she faced Dominic. “Don’t blame Lauren. She has been trying to speak up for her the whole time.

“Mom was the one who called the police.”

She stopped there without adding the part that she was the one who had taken officers straight to Westchester County.

If Dominic decided to settle accounts, she did not have the money or the leverage to survive it.

Lauren looked at Dominic, waiting.

After Lydia had spoken on her behalf, Lauren assumed Dominic would at least acknowledge her, or say something that sounded like gratitude.

Lydia saw the shift in his expression and did not hesitate. She pushed Lauren’s wheelchair toward the door and steered her out before Lauren could embarrass herself by insisting.

Once the room was finally quiet, Dominic reached for his phone and called Jason.

Jason arrived quickly.

“Sir?”

Dominic’s voice was low and restrained. “Go get her out…”

He did not finish the sentence. The word out never made it past his tongue, because his mind betrayed him with a flash from earlier that afternoon, Aurelia leaning close as she fed him spoonful after spoonful.

A beautiful face could be the sharpest weapon.

At the time, he had wondered why she had changed so suddenly, as if she were gentle again.

Now he understood. The tenderness had been a blade, and the sweetness had been bait. And the poison, hidden behind ho

smile, had cut him in slow, deliberate strokes.

So this was how far she was willing to go, just to divorce him? She burned down the houses and even poisoned him?

Dominic leaned back slightly and said, as if deciding it in that moment, “Forget it. Let her stay in there for now. She needs to learn her lesson.”

He had originally intended to tell Jason to get her out.

However, the words rose to the tip of his tongue, and then he swallowed them back down, and what finally came out instead was a line that sounded indulgent on the surface, yet carried a chill underneath.

When he thought of how she had looked earlier today, smiling as she fed him that bowl of meal, Dominic could not help thinking that perhaps it really was his fault, that he had spoiled her for too many years and indulged her until she no longer feared consequences.

Behind the wall by the doorway, Lauren heard Dominic say that, and the smile at the corner of her mouth turned quietly satisfied.

See? Dominic was finally tired of it.

A little drama from a woman could be brushed off as emotion

A man like Dominic, someone born with everything and used to being obeyed, was not going to have endless patience to coax a woman forever.

Satisfied by Dominic’s reaction, Lauren gave the caregiver behind her a look, and the caregiver immediately pushed her

away.

Inside the room, Jason was stunned when he heard Dominic say that Aurelia should stay in there for now, and that it was time to teach her a lesson.

A lesson? Let her suffer?

“If she comes out later, she will be even angrier,” Jason reminded him, speaking carefully but directly, because Aurelia had already been out of control these past few days.

If Dominic did not pull her out immediately, then when she did come out, there was no telling how far she might take things

next.

Dominic said, “You are wrong. If she is outside, she will stay angry. Let her calm down in there.”

The moment Jason heard that, the corner of his mouth twitched despite himself.

Calm down? While being locked up in prison?

Was that really a good idea?

Aurelia had already been acting like she had gone mad over the divorce. There had been fires, poison, and she had torn Lauren and her mother to pieces in public.

Now, Dominic was saying that Aurelia should “calm down” behind the bars?

While Jason stood there in silence, Dominic closed his eyes briefly and said, “Without me, what do you think she is? Hah.”

In that instant, Dominic’s mind was filled again with the image of Aurelia smiling as she fed him that bowl as if nothing had ever been wrong between them.

Jason asked, “Did she really poison you?”

“No,” Dominic answered.

Jason froze.

Then what exactly was this supposed to accomplish, letting her

“calm down” in there?

Only then did Dominic fully react to what had been off about

her earlier.

That smile had not been tenderness at all. It had been malice, carefully wrapped in softness.

Jason didn’t know what to say anymore because it was clear Dominic had made up his mind not to pull Aurelia out, so after thinking for a moment, he tried to warn him from another angle.

“If Mr. Fletcher finds out, he will not ignore it.”

Jason could not understand why Grant had been taking such excessive care of Aurelia either.

He had never seen it before, but ever since Grant returned from overseas, especially over the last six months as Aurelia and Dominic started fighting, that strange, persistent protectiveness had only grown more obvious.

Even the Maplecrest project had been the same. It was Grant who had given Aurelia the evidence.

Now, because of that, Lauren’s position at Hawthorne Group had started to shake, and over the past two days the board had been talking about removing her from the vice president role.

At the mention of Grant, Dominic’s expression darkened even more. “From now on, whatever Lydia and the others do, you do not need to tell me.”

Jason fell silent.

Lydia and the others?

He understood. Dominic was using this as a way to make Aurelia understand who could truly protect her.

As long as the Hawthorne family refused to loosen their grip, Grant would not be able to get her out, no matter what he did.

Jason asked, “Then how long do you plan to keep her in there?”

How long?

When he heard that question, a sharper chill flickered in Dominic’s eyes.

“Until she wants to see me.”

If Grant could not successfully get her out, then the moment she asked to see Dominic would also be the moment she softened, the moment she gave in.
