Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 He Loved Humiliating People

Jason thought for a moment, his expression turning grave. “It’s hard to say. But one thing is certain. We’re not going to be able to keep Project Meridian.”

Dominic said nothing.

Competition, huh?

In New York, there were very few who could truly compete with Hawthorne Group. Even Fletcher Group was more of an equal than a threat.

But Smith Group was different. Over the years, Smith Group’s reach had spread across half the globe.

Until now, however, their focus had always been Europe. They had never formally entered the Americas.

And this time, their first move into the region was through Project Meridian, a project that, by their standards, wasn’t even particularly significant.

This was unprecedented.

Jason was well

international stage. It wasn’t just Dominic who was surprised. He was too.

After thinking it over, Jason looked at Dominic with a heavy expression. “Do you have any personal conflict with Smith Group?”

Logically speaking, a project like Project Meridian would never catch the interest of a powerhouse like Smith Group.

Yet this time, they had stepped in directly and taken it.

From any angle, it felt personal.

Dominic said flatly, “Do you think I would?”

Jason fell silent. By all logic, no. He had been by Dominic’s side for years. Dominic had never had any interaction with Smith Group. There was no basis for personal animosity.

And yet, Smith Group had taken over Project Meridian halfway through its development. No matter how one looked at it, it felt like a direct strike at Hawthorne Group.

More importantly, under normal circumstances, Meridian would never dare cross Dominic.

This time, however, they were willing to go against Domi

Group despite knowing exactly what it would cost them.

That alone suggested that Smith Group had forced the issue. It recked of an outright grab.

Dominic glanced at Jason. “You think Smith Group did this deliberately?”

Jason nodded. “It certainly looks that way.”

Not just looks like it. It practically screamed it.

Smith Group’s entry into a new country had never relied on seizing local projects. They always built from the ground up. Taking over an active local partnership like this was unheard of.

Dominic took another drag from his cigarette.

The darkness between his brows refused to fade. “I’ve never

offended anyone from Smith Group.”

He didn’t even know them. How could there be offense?

Jason knew that too. Yet the situation in front of them still carried the unmistakable scent of personal vendetta.

Just as Jason was about to speak again, his phone rang.

Whatever was said on the other end made his expression tighten. “Are you sure?”

After a brief exchange, Jason hung up and looked at Dominic. “Mrs. Hawthorne went to the biotech company.”

They were referring to Grant’s.

At this point, Dominic still didn’t know that Aurelia also had a biotech research lab of her own there.

The veins at Dominic’s temples jumped violently. “She’s going

to work now?”

She had just suffered a major blood loss. She should be resting, not running around.

What the hell was she thinking?

*****

By the time Dominic reached Crestview Plaza, Aurelia was just coming out with Gareth. The two of them walked side by side, talking as they went. They were too far away for Dominic to hear what they were saying.

He leaned against his car door, watching them.

The look in his eyes as he stared at Aurelia and Gareth grew darker by the second.

Aurelia saw him too. She stopped. Across the distance, their eyes met.

After a single glance, Dominic shoved his hands into his pockets and strode toward her, his steps sharp, his temper written all over his face. His hair was slightly disheveled, adding a reckless edge to his already volatile presence.

That madness suited him far too well.

Dominic walked straight up to her with a cigarette in his mouth. He looked her over and then shifted his gaze to Gareth.

Then, without warning, he reached out and grabbed Aurelia by

the wrist.

The movement was fast. The moment his hand closed around

her, his eyes locked onto Gareth with unmistakable menace.

Gareth’s expression hardened. He spoke coldly. “Let go.”

“Let go?” Dominic sneered. “She’s my wife. Who are you to tell me to let go? You’re nothing more than Grant’s servant. You think you can order me around?”

Her chest tightened. Without hesitation, she raised her free hand and slapped Dominic across the face. “Enough!”

He loved humiliating people.

She had never understood why someone like him stood at the top of the pyramid. Power in his hands was only ever used to trample others.

Dominic’s head snapped to the side from the blow.

A beat later, he turned back to look at Aurelia.

He let out a low, cold laugh, his eyelids lowering slightly. “Well

done. You’re hitting me now for another man?”

Then his smile twisted. “No, hitting me is nothing. You poisoned me too, didn’t you?”

The memory flashed through his mind. How she’d calmly fed him that toxic meal, without a tremor in her hand.

Dominic’s grip on her wrist tightened unconsciously. He yanked her hard, pulling her straight into his chest.

Aurelia resisted instinctively, struggling to steady herself, unwilling to be that close to him. But Dominic’s hold was brutal, unyielding.

Gareth stepped forward to stop him, but at that moment, more than a dozen bodyguards rushed in, blocking him completely.

The scene exploded into chaos in an instant.
