Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 153

< Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her

Chapter 153 Everyone Suspected Her

There was no denying it. Lauren’s two children were in an especially precarious situation.

The boy, Leo, now had no chance of survival unless James

could be found.

The daughter, Lily, had been perfectly healthy, yet she was now missing.

Aurelia said coldly, “You’re not killing anyone.”

There was silence on the line.

“If you want your daughter alive,” Aurelia continued evenly, “you’d better focus on finding her.”

With that, she hung up.

This is absurd.

Now, whenever anything happened, it was immediately pinned on her.

“Aurelia, we were rude before,” Eleanor said urgently. “Just tell me. Where did you take Lily?”

With Lily missing, Eleanor was truly panicking.

Her tone on the phone wasn’thing like her usual domineering self. It was almost gentle.

Hearing that voice, Aurelia found it deeply ironic.

So now she knows how to speak softly?

Ever since Aurelia married Dominic, she had never been treated as family in their eyes.

They had never spoken to her properly, not once.

And now this.

Aurelia said, “Did you hear yourself? This is honestly pathetic.”

She had just called earlier, telling Aurelia that if she had any sense, she should leave Dominic as soon as possible. How much time had even passed since then?

And now she was calling back, lowering her voice and trying to

be conciliatory.

“Why are you so sure I took her?” Aurelia asked.

Eleanor finally snapped, unable to hold back.

“Who else could it be? Look at everything you’ve done these past few days. Wasn’t it all to drive Lauren to her death?”

That last sentence was practically screamed.

Aurelia’s actions these days had been relentless, all aimed at Lauren, step by step, pushing her toward the edge.

Aurelia tightened her grip on the phone. “Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me.”

“Let me make one thing clear,” she added calmly. “Everything that’s happened these past few days, I did openly. I don’t deny any of it. But Lily going missing has nothing to do with me. If you want Lily alive, go look elsewhere. If you keep wasting time arguing with me and Lily really dies, don’t blame it on me.”

Lily went missing, and they immediately came after her?

If Aurelia had really taken Lily, she would already be using her to negotiate with Dominic.

But she wasn’t that despicable.

No matter how much she despised Lauren and her children, she would never lay a hand on a child.

Stealing and hiding a baby?

Did they really think an infant was that easy to take and conceal?

Babies were the hardest to care for. She wasn’t stupid enough to burden herself by kidnapping the most difficult possible leverage just to threaten Dominic.

Aurelia hung up the phone.

Almost immediately after, Chloe called.

Aurelia answered, “Chloe.”

“Lauren’s daughter Lily is missing. You know about it, right?”

Aurelia paused.

Even Chloe knows?

That meant everything outside Westchester County had descended into chaos.

Before, even when something urgent came up that absolutely required him to go, he would still forcibly drag Aurelia along.

Today, he had not taken her.

That meant it really was serious.

“How did you find out?” Aurelia asked.

“My aunt,” Chloe replied. “She had to go to St. Vincent Medical Center for work today. That place is in complete chaos.”

Aurelia said, “Of course it is.”

Lily going missing was no small matter.

Chloe fell silent.

Aurelia frowned. “What is it?”

“This has nothing to do with you, right?” Chloe asked

cautiously.

Aurelia said nothing.

So even Chloe suspects me now.

“You want a divorce,” Chloe said bluntly.

Aurelia replied, “I do want a divorce, but I-”

She scoffed.

Do I really need to kidnap Lauren’s child to force Dominic into a divorce?

Chloe continued, “Dominic has always felt a strong sense of responsibility toward Adrian. When it comes to Adrian’s children, that responsibility only runs deeper.”

Adrian was dead.

Even without Dominic saying it, outsiders could see that he would take care of Adrian’s children for life.

Especially now, when the children were still so young, his sense of responsibility was at its peak.

If anyone went after the children right now, he would lose all restraint.

Aurelia said flatly, “I’m not that low.”

“Good,” Chloe said with a sigh. “I was honestly afraid you

For all these years, Dominic had treated Aurelia relatively well.

But if she truly pushed him past his limit, when he lost control, Aurelia would be the one to suffer.

Even if she had her brother Sebastian backing her.

She was still in New York.

If she were already back in Germany, even if she had Lily hidden, Dominic wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

Chloe’s concern was obvious. Aurelia said dismissively, “Even if I did step on it, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“You’re not afraid,” Chloe said quietly. “You’re the Smith Group heir. But you haven’t left New York yet. Don’t create more trouble right now.”

At the end of the day, the priority was to finalize the divorce cleanly and leave for Germany as soon as possible.

Hearing the phrase “create more trouble,” Aurelia curled her lips. “I know.”

Dominic refused to divorce, no matter what.

already blaming Lily’s disappearance on you, aren’t they?”

Aurelia paused briefly. “They are.”

Lauren and Eleanor had both called her, demanding answers as if she were guilty.

On the other end of the line, Chloe sucked in a sharp breath.

Aurelia could hear it clearly.

“So even if you didn’thing,” Chloe said, “they’ve already decided it was you.”

Aurelia let out a cold laugh. “Exactly. So what difference does it make?”

Chloe replied, “No difference at all.”

From here on out, things were bound to get worse.

Everyone in the Hawthorne family was convinced that Aurelia had taken Lily.

Dominic would inevitably be influenced by that belief as well, convinced that Aurelia would do anything, absolutely anything, just to get a divorce.
