Lauren fell silent.

She glanced at her now-empty palm and then looked back at Eleanor.
Eleanor’s expression was severe. “Even if Dominic completely breaks with Aurelia this time, given the attention you and he are drawing in New York right now, the two of you are no longer possible.”
In the past, Eleanor had been willing to consider Lauren and Dominic together for two reasons.
First, Marilyn’s overseas business had been substantial enough.
Second, Dominic’s marriage to Aurelia had been completely unknown throughout New York.
Now, all of New York knew that Dominic had long been
married to Aurelia.
Lauren had been nailed down as the mistress in the public eye.
On that point alone, Eleanor could never agree to anything further. Otherwise what would that make them?

Just moments ago, Lauren had been secretly pleased that Aurelia was still being held at the police station.
But at the thought of Dominic, her expression clouded again.
Eleanor said coldly, “But this time, Aurelia won’t be leaving the police station alive. That’s something we should all be happy
about.”
Lauren said nothing.
Yes. Aurelia wasn’t meant to leave the police station alive.
As long as Aurelia died in custody, there would still be possibilities between Dominic and herself.
There was no need to rush.
“She really won’t make it out alive?” Lauren asked, unease creeping into her voice.
After all, Dominic had always protected Aurelia.
No matter what trouble she caused, he had forgiven her every time. Compared to that, this hardly seemed enough.
Eleanor answered with certainty, “Of course she won’t. She poisoned Dominic. No matter how tolerant a man may be her

Hearing that. Lauren finally relaxed.
As long as Aurelia never made it out, there would still be room between her and Dominic.
But if Aurelia walked free, there would be no chance left at all.
To ensure nothing went wrong. Fleanor decided to call Lydia again and tell her to act faster and more decisively.
But just as she dialed, Lydia walked into the hospital room.
Seeing Lydia enter, her face drained and dispirited. Eleanor assumed Grant’s treatment of her earlier had left her humiliated.
“There’s still a chance with Grant,” Eleanor said firmly. “Right now, the priority is dealing with Aurelia. Since Grant humiliated you because of her, we don’t need to show her any mercy anymore.”
She spoke with force, using it to steady Lydia.
Lydia, however, was already on the verge of breaking. “Mercy? Do you think she needs our mercy? The people protecting her now are everywhere.”
Dominic, and Grant as well.

They had no opening at all.
Eleanor frowned. “What do you mean by that?”
“I mean that she never went into the police station yesterday,” Lydia snapped. “Grant picked her up halfway.”
Her voice shook with rage. Her eyes brimmed and overflowed.
Lauren and Eleanor both froze.
The room went silent.
Lauren’s face changed instantly. Eleanor looked no better.
Eleanor said slowly, “What did you say? She never went into the station at all?”
Lydia said, “She didn’t. Grant picked her up on the way.”
Eleanor and Lauren said nothing.
Lydia went on hysterically, “And Grant picked her up himself. Personally. What is Aurelia to him? How can he be discussing marriage with me while protecting Aurelia like this?”
At that moment, Lydia was completely unhinged.

It had already infuriated her that Dominic kept protecting that nobody, a woman from an orphanage.
Now there was Grant as well.
Ivy had been working hard to push the alliance between their two families, and Grant had the audacity to be involved with Aurelia.
Eleanor cursed, “That slut.”
She nearly fainted from anger.
Grant. It was Grant who took her away.
“How ridiculous,” Eleanor said bitterly. “This morning we were still talking about increasing pressure, about making sure she never came out of the police station.”
They had even talked about letting her die inside.
How absurd.
She was out there, openly free.
Lauren, who had been silent, looked at Lydia. “Are you just
going to let it go? You like Grant very much.”
Lydia replied thG ALL IN!

will never let that bitch have it easy.”
Competing with her for Grant meant paying a price.
At that moment, the attending physician arrived. “Mrs. Eleanor Hawthorne.”
With an outsider present, Eleanor and Lauren immediately masked their hatred.
Eleanor asked, “What is it?”
“Leo’s condition isn’t very good. You should come take a look.”
Leo’s condition wasn’t good.
At the mention of Leo, Lauren’s tears welled up again.
Eleanor’s vision went dark, and she nearly collapsed.
For the Hawthorne family, this truly was a time of mounting
crises.
One problem after another, all tangled together, all caused by
Aurelia.
Lauren and Eleanor hurried after the doctor.

At the dinner table…
Dominic looked exhausted, his mind clearly weighed down. It was obvious that Hawthorne Group’s situation had become
serious.
Aurelia pretended not to notice and quietly ate her food.
Dinner that night had been prepared with particular care.
After the recent issues with her meals, Dominic had stationed bodyguards directly in the kitchen.
Anyone who dared tamper with her food would be killed on the
spot.
Under those circumstances, no one dared touch what Aurelia
ate.
Not even for the greatest benefit imaginable.
