Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Had He Heard Everything?

Right now, everyone was blaming Aurelia for Lauren’s missing baby, and Chloe was seriously worried.

At eleven at night, she was still calling Aurelia, who told her, “Dominic said if he doesn’t see the baby by dawn, he’s reporting it to the police himself!”

“Is he out of his mind?” Chloe exploded on the other end of the line. After living together all these years, there was no foundation of trust at all?

That was right. Dominic’s reaction to this whole situation made it painfully clear there was zero trust between them. If he’d had even a shred of trust in Aurelia, things

wouldn’t look like this.

When Aurelia didn’t respond, Chloe asked, “So what’s your plan for dealing with this?”

“I’m waiting.”

“Waiting for what?”

Chloe went silent. Wait, what? She was waiting for Dominic to call the police? In New York, if Dominic actually reported this, the consequences for Aurelia would be no joke.

But wait. Aurelia had Sebastian backing her now. Before, she couldn’t have handled a situation like this, but now things were different.

Chloe took a sharp breath. “Will he actually do it?”

“I want to find out if he will.” Aurelia shrugged with a

smirk.

But he’d said he would.

Hearing how calm Aurelia sounded, Chloe couldn’t help but sigh. “How did you two end up like this?”

She’d always figured Aurelia would never last in the Hawthorne family.

But she never imagined things between Aurelia and Dominic would escalate to this point.

Augelia sighed, “Things are already like this. What’s the 27

point of wondering why?”

Since the situation had reached this stage, Aurelia wasn’t dwelling on reasons anymore. Her carefree attitude gave Chloe some relief.

“You and Dominic are really going at each other now.”

Before, it had just been Aurelia targeting the Hawthorne family and Lauren. But now, Dominic had finally sided with the Hawthornes completely and turned against her

too.

“Let’s wait until tomorrow morning. Lauren’s deciding whether to give me the baby in exchange for helping me divorce Dominic,” Aurelia said.

“Do you believe her?”

“Of course not.”

Trust Lauren? Impossible. Even if Aurelia trusted anyone else in the world, she would never trust Lauren. So if Dominic really did call the police tomorrow morning, she had her own preparations ready.

After chatting with Chloe for a bit longer, she hung up.

The moment she did, Sebastian called. His voice was warm on the line. “Get everything sorted out and come back to Germany before Father’s birthday celebration.”

“I know.”

Even without Sebastian reminding her, Aurelia had always remembered she needed to return before their father’s party.

Sebastian made a sound of acknowledgment and then said, “Lauren’s mother has gotten in with Arthur Nevin.”

A minor state official? Gareth had been going through Germany’s network of connections with Aurelia lately.

Sebastian had arranged it to lay the groundwork for her return to Germany, and Aurelia had heard of Arthur before.

Recently, he’d been trying to climb higher up the ladder, so he’d approached Sebastian and promised generous rewards once he reached that position.

But this man hadn’t climbed up yet, had he? Given hoy arrogantly Lauren had been scheming against her2.27

already resolved.

“Did she solve her problem?” Aurelia asked.

“Arthur is extremely cunning. He played her,” Sebastian replied.

Aurelia fell silent. Played? So that meant they didn’t need

to make a move on their end.

“Hawthorne Group is dealing with one problem after another over there. Time this right,” Sebastian added.

“Understood.”

The Hawthorne Group’s current mess was all thanks to Sebastian. Sebastian had already taken care of his own problems, and the original plan was simple enough. As long as Aurelia kept causing trouble and making things unbearable, the divorce would happen naturally.

But the current situation was even better than expected. Not only was Aurelia stirring up chaos, but Lauren was helping make things worse too. They were giving him one hell of a headache!

At the hospital, Eleanor and Lydia were coming back from the doctor’s office when they ran into Dominic outside the hospital room. When Eleanor saw him, her eyes turned even redder. “Dominic.”

“Dominic,” Lydia said.

Dominic stood there with his hands in his pockets, towering over them, and his gaze held a cold, detached quality as he looked down at Eleanor and Lydia.

The look in his eyes made Lydia’s skin crawl. Her card still wasn’t working and she was almost out of money, but the Hawthorne family kept having one crisis after another, so she didn’t dare bring it up.

Thinking about all this made Lydia furious at Aurelia. That damned woman was the one causing all this trouble and dragging everyone else down with her.

“If she slit her wrists, why weren’t you two with her?” Dominic’s tone was cold and dangerous, and it carried a kind of distance that shouldn’t exist between family members. The way he spoke made both Eleanor and Lydia feel like they couldn’t breathe.

Lydia didn’t dare say anything.

Eleanor answered, “One of the servants from her family is

with her.”

When Eleanor mentioned Lauren’s family, her voice held

clear irritation.

What was Marilyn trying to prove? That they weren’t taking good enough care of Lauren?

She’d gone off to Germany but still sent someone to wait on Lauren personally.

Marilyn probably hadn’t finished dealing with things in Germany yet, which was why Eleanor got annoyed whenever these little issues came up.

Plus, with all the kids having problems now, she was completely exhausted.

Dominic didn’t say anything else and turned to walk into Lauren’s room. Eleanor and Lydia quickly followed him.

In the hospital room, Lauren and Kellen were still working out their next move. Kellen leaned in and said:27 “No matter what happens, Ms. Drake, you need to keep it

together. This is probably our one shot at making this work!”

Lauren nodded heavily. “I know.”

“Whatever it takes, we use the baby situation to make Mr. Hawthorne send Aurelia to prison,” Kellen continued.

“You’re right…” Lauren started to say, but then the door suddenly burst open.

Both Lauren and Kellen’s hearts jumped, and they instinctively looked toward the entrance.

When they saw Dominic standing there, radiating cold. fury, their hearts practically leaped into their throats. The moment Lauren’s eyes met his icy stare, her pulse raced.

Had he heard everything?
