Katherine was a doctor who betrayed her conscience.

Aurelia was already being merciful to Katherine. As for the consequences that couldn’t be seen yet, no one knew what form they would take.

Dominic lifted his wineglass, took a sip, and then set it down.

“She’s just a doctor. Why go after her over your conflict with Lauren?”

Aurelia said nothing.

The faint smile at the corner of her mouth froze the instant his

words landed.

“So you think I targeted her because of my conflict with Lauren?” she asked quietly.

“Isn’t that the case?” Dominic replied.

Aurelia said flatly, “Fine. If you say so, then that’s what it is.”

Facing Dominic like this, she suddenly felt that everything she had done was unnecessary.

Whenever it involved her, his first instinct was always to disbelieve her.

It had nothing to do with who the other party was.

Even if that person were not Lauren.

“So yes,” Aurelia continued, her tone sharpening, “I framed her. Happy now? I was bored, so I decided to frame a doctor for fun.”

The sarcasm in her voice grew unmistakable.

Dominic pressed his lips together. “This brings you no benefit.”

“Exactly,” Aurelia said at once. “It brings me no benefit at all. So why would I do it?”

So he knew it brought her nothing.

Dominic fell silent.

Yes.

Then why?

Did she really…

A thought surfaced suddenly in his mind. He didn’t know whether he refused to believe it, or simply didn’t dare to.

He was afraid.

Afraid that the thought might be true.

Because if it were true, then what stood between him and Aurelia would be something else entirely.

Dominic took a deep breath.

“Don’t dwell on it. It’s over.”

Aurelia let out a soft laugh. “Don’t. Something this big, and you do not even want to assign responsibility? You do not want to know why I would go out of my way to frame a doctor?”

Over? How dare he?

“You still want to push this?” Dominic asked.

“Of course,” Aurelia replied calmly. “We should investigate it properly. Figure out exactly why I did it.”

“You…”

He dropped his cutlery onto the plate with a sharp clatter, stood up, and went upstairs without another word.

He had no desire to argue with her anymore.

Hawthorne Group was already giving him enough trouble.

If he kept fighting with her, he felt he might actually lose his mind.

Dominic left the dining area.

Mary stepped forward. “Mrs. Hawthorne, Mr. Hawthorne really does care about you. If you keep pushing like this, aren’t you just driving him back toward Lauren?”

In Mary’s view, Lauren had once held a significant place in Dominic’s heart.

He used to go to Hawthorne Manor constantly.

Now, he was finally back, spending more time around Aurelia again.

She thought Aurelia should value that.

“Even if I divorce him,” Aurelia said evenly, “he and Lauren will never be possible.”

Her stance was simple.

If she was done with him, then no one else was allowed to have

him either.

She and Dominic were finished, but Lauren, who had spent all this time scheming against her through Dominic, would never get her happy ending.

Their so-called future had already been destroyed by her.

And she found that deeply satisfying.

“Then you…” Mary began.

“Mary,” Aurelia cut her off, her gaze turning sharp.

“Just do your job.”

She knew Mary meant well.

But she no longer wanted to hear a single word defending

Dominic.

Whether a man was good or not, a woman knew better than

anyone.

Dominic came back downstairs not long after.

He was fully dressed, impeccably put together, clearly on his way out.

He had an overcoat in his hand.

Seeing Aurelia sitting on the sofa, he strode over, grabbed her, and wrapped the coat around her shoulders.

“What are you doing?” Aurelia demanded.

If he wanted to go out, fine. Why drag her along?

Dominic was being driven insane by her.

The moment she left his side, no matter how many people he stationed around her, she always found a way to disappear.

So now, wherever he went, he would take her with him.

Aurelia struggled, but Dominic hauled her straight toward the door.

“You’re insane. Where are you taking me?”

At the entryway, Dominic stopped. “Change your shoes.”

“I’m not changing,” Aurelia shot back without hesitation.

She had no intention of going anywhere with him.

In fact, she was waiting for him to leave so she could return to Starlight Hill.

One more minute with Dominic made the air feel suffocating.

“I can help you,” Dominic said coolly.

Aurelia stared at him.

This man is completely unhinged.

His attitude was so forceful that she had no room to argue.

“Where are we going?” she asked tightly.

If she had to go out with him, she at least deserved to know

where.

“The hospital,” Dominic answered.

Aurelia froze.

The hospital?

Was this about Lauren again? And he was dragging her along?

Anything involving Lauren was none of her business. Was she supposed to go there just to push Lauren over the edge?

Or aggravate her so-called depression?

Well, that was impossible since Lauren wasn’t depressed at all. She had been faking it from the start.
