Chapter 127 The Only Chance
Aurelia said, “And notify the media as well.”
This time, she wanted Dominic to see the truth with his own
eyes.
And while she was at it, those hands that had been hiding behind the scenes for so long were going to be dragged into the light.
The Drake family, Lauren, and Marilyn included. No one who deserved exposure would be spared.
Gareth nodded. “Understood.”

At Hawthorne Manor…
Because of Dominic’s outburst the night before, Eleanor had slept poorly.
Today was the latest she had risen since becoming a Hawthorne.
She didn’t get out of bed until noon.

When they went downstairs for lunch, Lydia kept checking her phone.
“That’s strange. Dominic keeps calling me.”
Eleanor said coldly, “How is that bitch doing at the police
station?”
Aurelia had poisoned Dominic.
Yet Dominic had turned around and caused a scene with her
over Aurelia.
Eleanor couldn’t understand what kind of spell Aurelia had put on him for him to be this irrational.
Lydia said, “I’ll ask in a bit. Don’t worry. I already gave instructions. Chances are she was tormented all night and didn’t get a wink of sleep.”
When she spoke about Aurelia being tormented, Lydia’s tone was filled with undisguised satisfaction.
She had wanted to deal with Aurelia for a long time.
Back when Aurelia was obedient and well-behaved, Lydia already found her intolerable.

Let alone now, with all this recent trouble, especially over the
past few days, when Lydia herself had suffered losses.
Several of her credit cards had been cut off by Dominic.
Now things were different.
Just yesterday, Lauren had told her that Dominic also intended to let Aurelia suffer a bit.
If that was the case, then Aurelia could enjoy every bit of that suffering.
Hearing that Aurelia might have been tormented all night, Eleanor finally felt a sense of relief. “She should have been taught a lesson long ago. Look at the mess she’s caused lately.”
“Dominic also intends for her to go through this,” Lydia added. “She won’t be getting out easily this time.”
That made Eleanor feel even better.
“If he’d let her suffer a little earlier, would there have been so
much trouble?”
Thinking of how both the Hawthorne family and the Drake family had been humiliated one after another over the past few days, each incident worse than the last, Eleanor had wanted to deal June’s 3/7

But Dominic had always protected her.
Her thoughts drifted to the Drake family. “I wonder if Marilyn can survive this crisis.”
She had heard that the situation in Germany was quite serious.
Hopefully, Marilyn could handle it. If massive breach penalties came into play, the Hawthorne family wouldn’t be paying for her.
Lydia said with confidence, “Don’t worry. Who do you think Marilyn is? She’s seen everything over the years. She’ll get through this.”
Eleanor didn’t respond, nor did she argue.
In her view, what real options did Marilyn have left?
Everyone knew how those projects had been secured in the first place. She had relied on her body, nothing more.
It was only because she had been untouchable for so long that no one had dared to say it aloud.
But if she truly lost her footing this time, Eleanor could already imagine what would follow. Every buried scandal and every ugly rumor would be dragged back into the light.

“Call the police station again,” Eleanor said. “Make sure that bitch really suffers.”
She didn’t want to dwell on the Drake family.
If the Drake family truly collapsed, it would only make things more aggravating for her.
All of Eleanor’s attention shifted back to Aurelia. Right now, all she wanted was for Aurelia to be taught a lesson.
The past few days had been unbearable.
If Aurelia were not properly punished, there would be nowhere for this resentment to go.
Now that there was such a good opportunity, they had to seize it.
Lydia nodded. “Alright. I’ll call right away.”
She had just reached for her phone when Eleanor stopped her.
“Not now,” Eleanor said flatly. “Deal with her situation this afternoon. For now, go deliver the food to Grant.”
“What?”

Deliver food to Grant?
Eleanor shot her a sidelong look. “Have you forgotten
everything I taught you? Didn’t I tell you to learn from Aurelia and make an effort with Grant?”
The moment she heard she was supposed to imitate Aurelia and curry favor with Grant, Lydia’s expression darkened.
In her eyes, Aurelia’s tactics were vulgar and beneath notice.
She had no desire to learn from her.
Eleanor lowered her voice, pressing the words out deliberately. “Listen carefully. This is your only chance. The spot next to Grant is empty. You need to step into it before Aurelia gets
out.”
The phrase “only chance” made Lydia’s face sink instantly.
She couldn’t understand it. What exactly had Aurelia done to make Grant step in for her again and again?
A divorced woman who had miscarried twice should have been excluded from this kind of situation long ago.
And yet, Grant always stood on her side.

you think Grant will try everything he can to get her out?”
That was what frightened her most.
Eleanor looked at her, her tone calm to the point of cruelty. “That’s exactly why you can’t wait. While she’s gone, what you say will be what he remembers first.”
Lydia fell silent.
Eleanor continued, “If you can talk Grant into changing how he sees her, that will be your achievement.”
Lydia truly didn’t want to copy Aurelia’s methods.
But Eleanor kept saying that Aurelia being trapped at the police station was the best opportunity she would ever get.
She wavered.
“Fine,” Lydia said at last. “I’ll go right away.”
