Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Calling the Police

Jason genuinely found it difficult to answer this question.

Was Lauren’s depression an act?

The way Lauren behaved toward Dominic was obvious to anyone with eyes.

If she had been faking depression for that reason, it did not quite add up.

After all, who would willingly marry a sick woman?

And then there was Adrian’s death.

Taking everything into account, Jason gave it some brief thought and then shook his head. “It’s probably not an

act.”

“How so?”

Jason said, “When Mr. Adrian Hawthorne was alive, Mrs. Lauren Hawthorne was very much in love with him.”

Wagen Adrian was still around, the two of them ppeared 1

Given the depth of that relationship, it was entirely possible that Adrian’s death triggered a severe depressive episode in Lauren.

“And then there are the children. What mother does not love her own children? After the twins were born, Leo was in poor health from the start. All of that was an enormous blow to Mrs. Lauren Hawthorne.”

Adrian’s death alone had already hit Lauren hard enough.

Then she finally gave birth to two children, only for Leo to be chronically ill.

And now Lily was missing.

After Jason laid it out this way, even Dominic felt that Lauren’s depression was unlikely to be fake.

After all, his face was identical to Adrian’s.

So for the past six months, she had…

Thinking about how Lauren had behaved toward him during those six months, Dominic felt a headache coming on and pinched the bridge of his aching nose.

Because of Grant’s repeated reminders, he had harbored some doubts before.

But after Jason’s analysis…

Even though he accepted that Lauren’s depression was real, the moment he spoke, he still said, “Have it investigated.”

Upstairs, Aurelia was asleep.

At daybreak, she received two phone calls in quick succession. The first was from Gareth.

Lily had been located on Gareth’s end, and he reported the relevant details.

Gareth said over the phone, “That child, Lily, is not healthy. The situation may be more complicated than the other case. Lauren had someone take Lily to that villa and even arranged for doctors.”

Aurelia said, “There was news before that Lily was not well, but nothing ever came out of it.”

Gareth said, “It was probably being held back, waiting +91

be used against you.”

Aurelia said nothing.

When she heard the words “used against you,” her gaze turned cold instantly.

If that was the case, then Lauren’s scheming ran far deeper than most people could imagine.

During this time, the entire Hawthorne family had been focused on Leo. Who would have thought that Lily’s situation was just as serious?

Before Aurelia could respond, Gareth continued on the

other end of the line.

“We don’t know what Lauren’s original plan was, but if nothing unexpected happens, she should be calling you soon. She will compromise, hand Lily over to you, and ask you to divorce Mr. Hawthorne.”

Aurelia said, “Something has already happened to Lily?”

“Yes. Around three in the morning, the villa was brightly it and medical vehicles were coming and going” 12:31

No one knew exactly what the issue was.

But whether Lauren called Aurelia would largely indicate just how serious Lily’s condition was this time.

After all, if anything happened to Lily while she was in Aurelia’s care, no explanation would ever fully absolve her of responsibility.

Aurelia said, “I understand.”

She had just hung up Gareth’s call when Lauren’s phone call came in.

Although it was an unfamiliar number, given the timing, it was not hard to guess who it was.

The moment the call connected, Lauren’s voice came through. “I’ll give Lily to you. Divorce Dominic.”

A trace of mockery curved at the corner of Aurelia’s lips.

What kind of woman is Lauren, really?

Scheming against Aurelia all these years was one thing, bybnow she was even using her own child as a bargaining

chip.

Lauren’s level of selfishness and repulsiveness was truly beyond words.

Lauren continued, “Send someone to pick her up. The address is…”

“No.”

Before Lauren could finish her sentence, Aurelia cut her off.

Her sudden refusal caught Lauren off guard. “What?”

The smile on Aurelia’s lips deepened. “I said no. Do you understand?”

“Don’t you want to divorce Dominic? Once Lily is in your hands, he will definitely divorce you. You know how much he cares about Adrian’s child.”

Aurelia said, “I don’t know how to take care of children. Lily is too young. What if something happens to her while she’s with me?”

“You won’t need to take care of her. I’ll have people feed herproperly. You just need to make sure the divorce 67

happens this morning.”

After Aurelia said no, Lauren’s tone on the phone was clearly tinged with panic.

And from that panic alone, it was enough to tell.

Something really had gone wrong with Lily.

Aurelia was grateful that Sebastian was standing behind her now and that she had received this information ahead

of time.

Otherwise, before she completely severed ties with Dominic, there was no telling how Lauren might have schemed against her.

Lauren could see it too.

She was desperate to get divorced now, desperate to get as far away from Dominic as possible.

She was even trying to seize on that state of mind and turn it into leverage, which made one thing unmistakably clear. Lauren was the one who truly wanted her dead.

And yet she still had the audacity to claim that Aurelia

had been driving her to death these past months.

What a joke.

Aurelia said, “I do intend to divorce Dominic, but using your own child like this, with tactics as vile as yours, is something I cannot do.”

“What do you mean?”

Lauren’s heart lurched when she heard that.

Aurelia said, “What do I mean? Lauren, you staged this entire farce yourself. You will bear the consequences on your own.”

She had no intention of playing along and decided to step back and see how Lauren would deal with the aftermath

on her own.

Then Aurelia added, almost considerately, “I think you’ve panicked yourself into confusion. With something this serious, Lily going missing and all, how could you not call the police? Don’t you agree?”

What are you trying to do?”

“Relax. I, the clear-headed one here, will help you call the police.”

With that, Aurelia ended the call.

She then decisively dialed the police, even providing them with the address.

After everything was done, Aurelia stood up while placing another call to Gareth.
