Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Grant Was the Reason?

Meeting Grant’s casual, almost indifferent gaze, Dominic’s anger spiked instantly, impossible to contain.

When he heard the words “not divorced,” Grant let out a low laugh.

Dominic’s expression had already been grim.

Seeing Grant smile only darkened it further. “Where is she?”

“Do you have any idea what she would have been facing if the police had taken her away yesterday?”

Dominic said nothing.

The faint smile on Grant’s face vanished. His gaze sharpened as he looked at Dominic, suddenly cold and severe.

If one looked closely, there was even a trace of danger spreading beneath his eyes.

Dominic pressed his lips tightly together and met Grant’s stare in silence.

Seeing that he wouldn’t respond, Grant continued, “The report

and the police discussed? Do you really need me to spell it out for you?”

The extent of the Hawthorne family’s hostility toward Aurelia didn’t need explaining.

Lydia personally escorting the police to arrest her made everything even clearer.

What Lydia might have said to the police during that process was obvious.

So if Aurelia had truly been taken away yesterday, the consequences she would have faced were not hard to imagine.

Grant spoke calmly, every word measured, yet Dominic’s breathing grew increasingly unsteady.

Grant said, “After you woke up, Jason took no action at all to get her out. Dominic, what exactly were you planning? Were you waiting for her to give in front of you?”

Dominic fell completely silent.

His expression froze.

Waiting for her to give in?

point that it wore him down. He had wanted her to give in.

He wanted her to finally understand that without him, she had no footing in New York at all.

Their eyes met again.

Dominic clenched his teeth and spoke, “Why would I want her to give in? Was it not because she kept fighting with me? And who gave her the nerve to fight me like that?”

Aurelia had gone too far these days. Everything had spiraled completely out of control.

Grant looked up slightly.

The look he gave Dominic turned even colder.

Dominic said, “What does this have to do with you? Who gave you the right to encourage her to push for a divorce?”

His voice rose sharply, breaking into a shout.

Aurelia had been demanding a divorce nonstop.

And she was also tangled up with Grant.

Grant said, “Do you actually want her to stop talking about divorce, or do you want her to become nothing more than a pet of the Hawthorne family?”

Dominic said, “What pet? Do not talk nonsense.”

A pet?

No. He had never thought of Aurelia that way.

Grant gave a short, cold laugh. “From the moment you woke up last night, and Jason made no move to get her out, it showed that this relationship was never equal to begin with.”

If it had been even slightly equal, neither the Hawthorne family nor Dominic himself would have thought of using this kind of method to suppress her.

“Whether it is equal or not is between her and me. What does it have to do with you? Where exactly is she?”

Dominic no longer wanted to continue this conversation.

Aurelia disappearing yet again had pushed him past it.

Especially when every disappearance somehow involved Grant.

That alone was intolerable.

Seeing Dominic’s anger fully erupt, Grant had no intention of engaging further.

He turned and walked away, tossing a brief instruction to Edmund as he did. “See him out.”

“See who out? I am not leaving today unless I get news about Aurelia.”

Dominic was on the verge of losing control.

Grant completely ignored him.

When Dominic saw Grant step forward to leave, his own temper exploded. He immediately followed him.

Just then, Grant’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and then back at Dominic, who was about to catch up, and answered the call. “Hello.”

“Are you on your way yet?”

Aurelia’s gentle voice came through the phone.

The call wasn’t quiet, and that soft tone carried clearly into

Dominic’s ears.

His step froze. His legs suddenly felt heavy, as if rooted to the floor.

She spoke to Grant like this? So gentle?

And Grant, who had been cold and sharp with Dominic just moments ago, now showed a trace of warmth in his expression as he spoke into the phone.

“I am leaving now,” he said softly.

“Is there anything you especially like to eat, or anything you really dislike?”

Since she was inviting someone to a meal, sincerity mattered.

Grant said, “I do not have any particular preferences. Just go with whatever you have in mind.”

“Alright. I’m waiting for you.”

The woman’s voice was gentle. The man’s tone was warm.

Dominic completely lost it.

He strode forward and reached to snatch the phone from Grant’s hand, but Grant turned aside and avoided him.

Dominic shouted into the phone, “Aurelia, you had better come back to Westchester County right now.”

At that moment, Dominic was completely unhinged.

He no longer cared whether he had been in the wrong yesterday.

Or rather, when he had made that decision at the time, he had not felt there was anything wrong with it at all.

But now Aurelia knew, and Grant saw through it as well.

He felt the world he shared with Aurelia collapsing piece by piece.

Right now, he didn’t want anything else. He just wanted to see Aurelia immediately.

“Give it to me!”

When Grant didn’t hand over the phone, Dominic roared.

Grant said calmly, “She already hung up.”

Dominic said nothing.

“She asked you to lunch?”

Seriously?

She had asked Grant what he liked to eat and what he disliked.

That kind of attentiveness was something he had never felt in all their years of marriage.

And now she was giving it all to Grant.

So I wasn’t wrong after all. This is the real reason she wants a divorce.

She wanted to divorce him for Grant.
