At Starlight Hill, Aurelia was already in bed, and Chloe had come over as well.
Over the past few days, as long as Chloe had time, she had been coming to keep her company.
At the moment, she was in the bathroom taking a shower.
Not once did she ask about Dominic.
Aurelia had barely gotten into bed when a message came in from an unfamiliar number: [He said there is no need to pull you out. It is time to teach you a lesson.]
Aurelia went still.
She did not even need to think about it. It had to be from
Lauren.
It looked like the Hawthorne family still did not know that she had never actually gone in.
But speaking about “lesson” and “not to pull her out”…

she should be taught a lesson?
How ridiculous.
In that moment, Aurelia felt nothing but biting irony toward the relationship she had with Dominic.
She replied: [If you lose your position at Hawthorne Group, you will end up just like me, with nothing to do but live off the family. I can’t wait to see when that happens, Ms. Good-For-Nothing.]
The moment Lauren saw the message, her face turned livid.
How did Aurelia know her position at Hawthorne Group was already on shaky ground? Was Aurelia behind it?
Lauren thought of those old fellows on the board. The moment it was exposed that Maplecrest had not been designed by her, they wanted to get rid of her.
They even claimed that if she stayed, she would affect Hawthorne Group’s stock price.
As if the stock price could be “affected” by one woman.
What a bunch of stubborn, outdated old fools!

it had to be connected to her.
Lauren gritted her teeth and texted back: [Hah. I probably won’t be the one eating free meals, but you can do it for the rest of your life.]
Now, her position genuinely bothered her.
She loved the rhythm of going to work and leaving work with Dominic every day, and she also loved the fact that she had always been seen as outstanding professionally, which was exactly why Eleanor had used her for years as a comparison to humiliate Aurelia.
If she really lost her position, then what would she be in Aurelia’s eyes?
They wanted her to step down? Dream on. They could forget it.
Aurelia replied: [Don’t worry. You definitely will.]
Seeing how firm Aurelia sounded, Lauren was so furious she wanted to smash her phone.
So was it true? Was it really Aurelia pulling strings, and that was why those board members had chosen this moment to come after her?

Lauren’s breathing turned uneven as she typed: [You’d better stop while you still can.]
Aurelia replied: [Now you want me to stop? Then don’t provoke me in the first place. It’s too late.]
Even through the screen, Lauren could picture that almost playful look paired with words that were sharp enough to cut.
So it really was Aurelia destroying her future.
Lauren was about to send another message, but then she realized Aurelia had already blocked her number.
When she tried again, the message failed to send.
“Ah!”
Lauren screamed in rage.
When Lydia and Eleanor walked in and heard that shriek, both of them instinctively shuddered.
Eleanor frowned. “What now?”
Eleanor had always been especially tense about Lauren’s depression. She never knew when Lauren would have an

Half a year had passed like this, and Eleanor had gone from pity to exhaustion, and her patience was already at its limit.
Even though there was only a trace of impatience in Eleanor’s tone, Lauren still heard it.
She froze for a moment, then turned back with tears already filling her eyes. “Eleanor.”
That choked voice made Eleanor’s chest tighten.
Lauren’s tears fell. “Aurelia is meddling with Hawthorne Group.
“These past few days, the board has been talking about removing me, and it’s because of her.”
Eleanor stared. “What?”
She was genuinely shocked.
Aurelia had grown up in an orphanage. How could she affect Hawthorne Group?
“That’s impossible,” Eleanor said immediately. “She can’t possibly do that.”

background, she dismissed it without hesitation.
After marrying Dominic, Aurelia had stayed at home as a useless full-time wife.
She had no skills or competence. How could she possibly reach into Hawthorne Group?
Even if she tried, she would not have the ability.
Lauren sniffed, looking aggrieved. “She said it to me herself, just now.”
“She even called you?” Eleanor asked.
Lauren did not answer. She only cried harder.
Eleanor felt her irritation rise, but she forced it down, fearing Lauren would spiral and do something extreme.
She already knew Marilyn was dealing with trouble overseas, trouble that might come with an enormous breach penalty.
Even so, Lauren was still causing scenes.
Eleanor’s patience shrank further without her even noticing.

need to be stronger.”
Lauren’s breathing became unstable.
Her mother’s situation overseas was not even resolved yet, and Eleanor was already talking like this?
Lauren looked at Eleanor and said, “Eleanor, I miss Adrian.”
Eleanor fell silent.
The moment Lauren brought Adrian up again, Eleanor’s head
started to ache.
