< Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her
Chapter 137 They Wanted Aurelia Dead
When Aurelia had first married Dominic, it wasn’t as though she had made no effort.
She lowered herself, tried to be agreeable, tried to fit in. But whether she was facing Eleanor or Bianca, what she received in return was always the same.
Cold distance and deliberate neglect.
Over time, she understood something clearly.
So she stopped offering goodwill that was never accepted. The irony was that once she withdrew, they began to nitpick and accuse her, as though the problem had always been hers.
Aurelia didn’t care anymore.
If Dominic dared to mention “respect” in front of her, she would give him only one answer, which was divorce.
In truth, her insistence on divorce had not begun just in the past six months.
After the wedding, because of the Hawthorne family, “divorce” had always beer

It was only in the last half year that things had escalated.
Especially in recent days.
The Hawthorne family was in chaos. Dominic had exploded. Even Bianca, who had always sat high above the rest, had been dragged into it.
Within the Hawthorne family, Bianca was revered and indulged. No one dared defy her.
This time, Dominic had directly dealt with Tobias, the troublemaker by her side, for Aurelia’s sake.
That alone had crossed Bianca’s bottom line.
Bianca ground her teeth. “I’m… not calling to argue with you.”
“You should know by now, shouldn’t you?” Aurelia said coolly. “Or maybe you don’t. Tobias is dead, so perhaps no one has told you yet.”
“Know what?” Bianca snapped.
Aurelia replied evenly, “The poison you put in my meal yesterday, remember? I fed the food to your grandson.”
“Aurelia!”

On the other end of the line, Bianca nearly fainted on the spot.
Aurelia continued without emotion, “You’re lucky the poison wasn’t stronger. If you had really wanted me dead, you’d be coming back from the sanatorium right now to attend your grandson’s funeral.”
Bianca said nothing.
Whether Bianca had known before this call that the poisoned meal had been eaten by Dominic no longer mattered.
The moment Aurelia spoke of it so casually, her fury was fully ignited.
Years of cultivated restraint shattered all at once.
“You vicious woman,” Bianca shouted. “He has always treated well. He has always protected you. How could you do this to him?”

In the entire Hawthorne family, the one who protected Aurelia the most had always been Dominic.
And the more he protected her, the deeper the family’s resentment toward her grew.
Now, hearing Aurelia admit with her own mouth that sh

personally fed the poisoned meal to Dominic, Bianca’s anger exploded.
Adrian was already dead.
Among this generation of Hawthorne men, only Dominic remained.
“Are you trying to destroy the Hawthorne family?”
“No,” Aurelia said calmly. “The one destroying the Hawthorne family is Lauren.”
Bianca fell silent.
“She caused the deaths of my two unborn children,” Aurelia continued. “Now the son she gave birth to is fighting for his life. If she hadn’t killed my children, maybe I would have given birth to a healthy boy.”
There were words that didn’t need to be shouted to cut
deepest.
On the line, Bianca was so furious she could no longer speak.
Aurelia ended the call.

At the hospital…
Eleanor still didn’t know that Lydia had called and learned that Aurelia had never been detained.
She was holding Lauren’s hand, reassuring her. “Don’t worry. Leo will be fine.”
“Why did Leo end up like this?” Lauren sobbed. “I was careful with everything I ate throughout my pregnancy.”
She suddenly tightened her grip on Eleanor’s hand.
Eleanor froze.
Meeting Lauren’s tear-filled eyes, her heart softened. Just as she was about to speak, Lauren continued first.
“You always warned me to be careful where Aurelia was concerned. I did exactly as you told me. You told me what to eat, and I ate it.”
The mention of Aurelia made Eleanor pause.
“You mean… she tampered with your food? But Aurelia only came to Hawthorne Manor during the holidays, and she was never in charge of the kitchen.”
It was true that G ALL IN!

when she visited Hawthorne Manor.
But she never cooked.
The servants did the actual cooking.
In Eleanor’s eyes, having a daughter-in-law like Aurelia was already a misfortune enough. Whenever these matters came up, Aurelia would avoid them entirely.
But she did go to the kitchen every time. Every time she visited, she went to the kitchen.
That thought made Eleanor’s breathing turn sharp. “That bitch. Could Leo’s condition really be her doing?”
Lauren cried harder.
Eleanor’s head felt ready to split.
Aurelia had always been unhappy about Lauren constantly summoning Dominic back to Hawthorne Manor throughout her pregnancy.
If Leo’s condition had been caused by Aurelia, it wasn’t impossible.
Lauren shook her head weakly. “I can’t believe it…”

“Don’t worry,” Eleanor said firmly. “If she really did it, I’ll handle it. She won’t be walking out of the police station this time.”
She had already wanted Aurelia to die in there.
Now, thinking that her grandson’s condition might be Aurelia’s doing, there was no way she would let that woman walk out alive.
Lauren froze. “What do you mean? Dominic really didn’t get her out last night?”
“No,” Eleanor replied. “This time, even Dominic wants her to suffer a little.”
Joy rose uncontrollably in Lauren’s heart.
Eleanor continued, “If we’re letting her take a hit, then let her take it properly. Lydia has already set things in motion.”
Lauren was delighted.
But outwardly, she still put on a gentle expression. “Actually, it’s not necessary-”
“Don’t speak up for her again,” Eleanor cut in sharply.

believed she still needed to treat Lauren well.
Lauren might have been raised by a domineering mother like Marilyn, but she was gentle and obedient.
As long as she stopped harboring thoughts about Dominic, Eleanor could still be good to her.
Lauren hesitated. “I’m just worried about Adrian…”
The moment Adrian’s name was mentioned, Eleanor’s
expression darkened.
She pulled her hand away from Lauren’s. “You need to accept reality about Adrian.”
