Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Enough of This

Aurelia pulled her hand free. “Whether you believe I was pregnant or not doesn’t matter anymore. But when it comes to you and Lauren, I’m not generous enough to just let it go. Divorce. Let’s end everything.”

As she said it, her voice lowered, steady and final.

She was ending their emotional entanglement, nothing more.

As for certain debts and grudges, those would still be settled. One by one.

Seeing the resolve in her expression, Dominic closed his eyes briefly.

He stood up. “Divorce is not happening.”

It was the same sentence as always.

He didn’t want to continue this conversation. Turning, he

walked toward the door.

Just as his hand reached the doorknob, Aurelia spoke. “Is it because I still haven’t made enough scenes these past few

weeks?”

Dominic’s breathing hitched.

“Don’t even think about making a scene again.”

He had already put things in place. He wouldn’t give her any more room to escalate the situation.

With that, Dominic slammed the door and left.

Alone in the room, Aurelia let out a soft, mocking laugh. “Don’t even think about it?”

Who, exactly, was supposed to be restrained here? Was it really her?

Shouldn’t it be the Hawthorne family instead? Why didn’t he tell them to stop, tell Lauren to stop?

Not long after Dominic left, Eleanor called.

Her voice over the phone was strained, heavy with distress. “Aurelia, can’t you stop this already? Let Dominic come to the hospital.”

Aurelia said nothing.

Sensible?

She finally replied, “You’ve lived this long, yet I’ve never seen you act with any sense. What exactly do you expect me to be ‘sensible’ about?”

Someone who had never treated her with fairness had no

right to demand obedience from her. The irony was almost laughable.

“Would you really be happy if Leo died?” Eleanor asked hoarsely.

His condition was clearly dire.

Aurelia paused.

At the hospital, Eleanor was already on the verge of collapse.

All she had done was correct Lauren once, telling her Adrian was dead and that she needed to accept reality.

That single sentence had triggered Lauren’s so-called depression again.

On top of that, Eleanor had just received word that Marilyn had met a high-ranking official in Germany.

There was a chance this enormous mess could actually be

Because of that, Eleanor’s attitude toward Lauren had shifted again, fast and dramatically.

She still didn’t approve of Lauren being with Dominic, but she wouldn’t treat her the way she treated Aurelia.

Now Lauren was having another episode, crying and demanding Adrian, while Leo’s condition was deteriorating.

Eleanor was exhausted beyond measure.

She wanted Dominic at the hospital, if only to have someone she could lean on.

When Aurelia remained silent, Eleanor pressed again. “I’m asking you. If Leo dies, will that make you happy?”

Aurelia scoffed. “What does Leo’s life or death have to do with

me? What kind of insinuation is that? He’s not my child. Are you seriously expecting me to have a mother’s feelings for him? The Hawthorne family really has no shame.”

She didn’t bother holding back, firing back immediately.

On the other end of the line, Eleanor’s breathing grew heavy.

Aurelia gave a short, humorless laugh. “Why don’t you go ask

her own? To worry more than their mother. To fall apart harder than she does. Go ahead and ask. See who would marry their daughter into a family like yours.”

She continued, “Only me. Because I have no powerful family standing behind me. Because you think that means I should carry whatever emotions you assign me, respond however you expect. But I married Dominic to be his wife, not to absorb the responsibilities and grief of your entire family.”

She paused, her voice dropping. “I married Dominic to be his wife. Not to shoulder the emotions and responsibilities of your entire family. Do you really expect me to take all of that on as well?”

On the other end of the line, Eleanor was so furious she nearly

fainted.

“You-you-”

Aurelia cut in coolly, “You want to say I wasn’t like this before? Half a year ago, Adrian was still alive.”

Back then, when Adrian was still alive, Lauren had no room to behave this outrageously.

But ever since Adrian died, Lauren had been throwing scenes

Anyone would lose their patience under that kind of provocation.

The Hawthorne family, however, had their own logic.

When Aurelia was accommodating, they pushed her around as much as they pleased.

When she finally pushed back, they accused her of having pretended all along. As if they were allowed to bully her with impunity, but she wasn’t even permitted to lose her temper.

“You are absolutely outrageous!” Eleanor snapped.

Aurelia replied flatly, “Yes, I am, but I know that in your eyes, I’m the only one who doesn’t get to cross the line.”

“And you know you’re not,” Eleanor snapped. “What do you even have? You don’t even have a family to back you up!”

Aurelia fell silent.

So that was it. That was the real reason they had always felt. justified in bullying her.

She laughed softly. “That’s right. Lauren has a powerful family, so you dote on her. But will her family stay powerful forever?”

Aurelia often didn’t understand why Eleanor, as the mistress of New York’s foremost elite family, felt the need to curry favor with anyone at all.

Yet Eleanor had mastered the art of fawning over the powerful and trampling the weak.

Especially Marilyn. Eleanor had always been terrified of offending her.

Eleanor’s breath grew unsteady. “Why wouldn’t her family stay powerful forever?”

“You think just because this time Marilyn looks like she might fall, she’s finished?” Eleanor continued sharply.

“I’m telling you, Aurelia, you’re wrong. She’ll get through this soon enough. Don’t compare yourself to Lauren. If I were you, I’d have the sense to leave Dominic while you still can.”

Aurelia’s eyes narrowed.

Get through it soon enough?

That seems unlikely.

This was no small matter. Marilyn had only just arrived in

Unless she had latched onto someone powerful there.

As for Marilyn’s social skills, Aurelia had never doubted them.

Otherwise, why would all of New York whisper that Marilyn’s empire had been built with her body?

But this time, Marilyn could barely walk.

Did she really still have that kind of leverage left?
