Chapter 142 Nobody Mattered More Than Aurelia
What happened at the entrance of Fletcher Group at noon was still vivid in Lydia’s mind. Now, hearing Aurelia say that only made her angrier.
“Instead of obsessing over whether Grant and I are involved,” Aurelia said coolly, “you should worry about how you are ever going to get Grant to be involved with you.”
“You…”
The words were openly provocative. Lydia was so provoked that she nearly fainted.
“Mom, did you hear that?” Lydia snapped, turning to Eleanor when she found herself unable to deal with Aurelia.
Eleanor’s temples throbbed. “Will you stop?”
She didn’t want to deal with Aurelia right now.
Aurelia had a vicious tongue, and it hurt to listen to.
Lydia stamped her foot in frustration and shot Aurelia a vicious glare.

For Aurelia, rest was the priority.
She had not been standing long before she felt tired and went
to sit down.
Not far away, Dominic’s voice carried over. “Is Dr. Garth the only option?”
Dr. James Garth…
His people had just gone to Germany to try to reach him, but they had run into problems arranging a meeting.
The rumored James was known for an extremely eccentric
temperament.
Dominic used to think that no matter how strange a doctor’s personality was, he wouldn’t disregard a patient’s life.
This time, when his people couldn’t even get a meeting, Dominic realized it was far more than just a bad temper.
The doctor explained things to Dominic at length.
When Dominic returned, his expression was deeply grim.
Lauren stepped forward, instinctively reaching for his sleeve. “Adrian, how is it?”

The moment she said “Adrian,” Aurelia clearly saw the change in Eleanor’s expression.
It was no longer the indulgent approval Lauren used to receive.
Before, they had welcomed Lauren calling Dominic “Adrian,” hoping it would reinforce his sense of responsibility toward Adrian and lead him to accept Lauren and the two children.
But now it was different.
Public opinion in New York had been stirred into chaos. No matter how strong Eleanor was, she wasn’t going to allow
another chance.
It wasn’t just about reputation.
There was also the Drake family.
Whether Lauren’s mother, Marilyn, could survive this crisis
was still uncertain.
Just as Lauren was about to grab Dominic’s sleeve, Eleanor stepped forward and pulled Lauren away before Dominic could
even react.
Lauren’s hand closed on empty air, and her body stiffened.
She glanced at G ALL IN!

With just that, Eleanor turned to Dominic. “Yes, Dominic. What did the doctor say?”
She emphasized his name deliberately, clearly for Lauren to hear.
Aurelia’s eyes curved with a faintly amused expression.
Of course.
Eleanor was very quick at changing her attitude.
When Marilyn was still powerful, Lauren could do whatever she pleased without objection.
Now, as Marilyn’s influence began to wane, Lauren was no longer nearly as favored.
Dominic frowned. “We need Dr. Garth.”
“Then find him,” Lauren said anxiously. “No matter what, Leo
cannot be allowed to suffer. Adri…”
Before she could finish saying “Adrian,” Eleanor shot her another warning look.
Lauren swallowed the rest of the word.

Her chest tightened, but faced with Eleanor’s authority, she didn’t dare to argue.
Especially now, when Marilyn’s situation in Germany was still unresolved.
“Can he be found?” Eleanor asked.
No matter how dissatisfied she was with Lauren, Leo was still her grandson, Adrian’s child. She couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to him.
“I have already sent people,” Dominic replied.
Then he walked straight over to Aurelia.
She was clearly exhausted from all the back and forth. Her face showed obvious fatigue.
Dominic grabbed her hand and pulled her up from the chair. “Let’s go.”
“You’re leaving? Leo is still inside,” Eleanor snapped, her anger flaring as she saw Dominic trying to take Aurelia away again.
He’s leaving us now? Now?
Dominic said flatly, “What do you want me to do if I stay rer
him myself?”

“You, at the very least, can make decisions,” Eleanor argued.
“And you cannot?” Dominic shot back.
“You…” Eleanor was furious.
This ungrateful brat.
Just because Aurelia was tired, he was ready to abandon his own nephew.
Eleanor wanted to say more, but Dominic had already taken Aurelia by the hand and started walking away.
Lauren burst into tears, her crying sharp and piercing.
The sound only made Eleanor more upset. “Leo’s condition is so serious, Lauren is unwell, and you insist on leaving.”
Eleanor felt that these days had been unbearably hard on her.
No matter how much they protested, Dominic showed no intention of staying.
He simply picked up the exhausted Aurelia and headed for the elevator.

Yet in Aurelia’s eyes, his behavior wasn’thing short of ridiculous.
