Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Already Sent the Divorce Papers

Silence lingered between them. Jason pressed on when Dominic offered no response.

“And honestly, if Mrs. Lauren Hawthorne does file a police report, it might be for the best.

“Mrs. Hawthorne has been acting out far too much lately -she’s probably forgotten where all her power comes from…”

His voice trailed off abruptly, the unspoken implication hanging heavy in the air.

Every reckless stunt Aurelia had pulled, every trouble she’d stirred up, she’d done with Dominic’s silent endorsement and protection.

Without him backing her, she would never have dared to act so boldly.

It was Jason’s subtle reminder: stripped of Dominic’s support, Aurelia was nothing in New York.

gaze. “What about Grant?”

Venom dripped from his tone at the mention of the name.

The growing closeness between Grant and Aurelia lately made no sense to him, especially with the ongoing marriage negotiations between Grant and his sister, Lydia.

While the elders of the Fletcher family hadn’t yet given their formal approval, Grant’s proximity to Aurelia at such a fraught time was wildly inappropriate.

Jason’s expression stiffened, discomfort flickering across his face at the mention of Grant. “I can’t say for certain why Mr. Fletcher has grown so close to Mrs. Hawthorne.”

“Isn’t it obvious? He likes her,” Dominic snapped, his chest tightening with frustration.

The mere thought of it left a bitter taste in his mouth.

Jason blinked in surprise, taken aback by the accusation. “That’s unlikely. Even if Mr. Fletcher harbored such feelings, the Fletcher family would never approve.”

influence settling over him.

Right-the Fletcher family had strict, traditional elders.

Did Aurelia truly believe divorcing him would let her be with Grant?

She was naive beyond measure. The Fletcher family would never accept a divorced woman.

Still, the image of Aurelia standing beside Grant made his blood boil, a primal anger stirring within him.

“So what do you suggest we do now?” he asked, his voice

cold and detached.

“If Mrs. Lauren Hawthorne doesn’t get the justice she seeks. Mrs. Eleanor Hawthorne-even Madam Hawthorne-will surely take matters into their own hands to punish Mrs. Hawthorne,” Jason replied carefully, choosing his words with caution.

Bianca, confined to the sanitarium miles away, had also been livid over Aurelia’s recent antics.

her.

Eleanor’s resentment toward Aurelia was no secret; she hated Aurelia now more than ever.

If Dominic continued to shield Aurelia after the child’s death, there was no doubt they would stop at nothing to make her pay.

In Jason’s eyes, letting Aurelia face legal consequences might actually be the kindest outcome for her—a way to protect her from the Hawthorne women’s wrath.

Dominic closed his eyes again, his voice heavy with resignation. “If she’s arrested, make arrangements inside. Don’t let her suffer.”

Even now, his first instinct was to protect Aurelia.

The loss of the child grieved him more than anyone else.

He’d sworn at Adrian’s grave to safeguard his brother’s children, yet one had died before even reaching a month old.

The Bain was unbearable.

So he understood-even accepted-any extreme actions Lauren or Eleanor might take now.

This was the only small mercy he could offer Aurelia.

Jason nodded solemnly. “I understand.”

A tense silence stretched between them before he

ventured, “Shall we head to the meeting now?”

The Smith Group had been pressuring Hawthorne Group relentlessly lately, a source of constant frustration and stress for Dominic.

The Smith Group was led by one of the wealthiest men in the world-going up against such a formidable opponent was far from ideal, a battle that could potentially cripple their company.

Meanwhile, Aurelia had just arrived in Westchester County when her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number. The text was short and cryptic: [The jail is the safest place for you.]

A bitter, mocking laugh escaped her.

She didn’t need to call back to know who’d sent it- Dominic’s patronizing concern was unmistakable.

Gareth, walking closely behind her, heard her laugh and asked instinctively, “Ms. Sterling, what’s so funny?”

“See for yourself,” Aurelia replied, handing him the phone without a second glance.

Gareth read the message, his expression turning to one of exasperation and disbelief.

“This is from Mr. Hawthorne, isn’t it?”

Aurelia said, “Who else but that idiot? Did you send someone to deliver the divorce papers?”

“Don’t worry. They’ve been sent. Barring any unexpected delays, Mr. Hawthorne has already seen them by now,” Gareth assured her, his tone calm and reassuring.

Aurelia nodded, a wave of exhaustion washing over her.

The constant back-and-forth over the divorce had drained her, leaving her feeling emotionally and

physically fatigued.

She’d never imagined Lauren would be ruthless enough to harm her own child-though she knew history was full of such desperate, greedy women.

But the Hawthorne family wasn’t some royal dynasty with a throne to inherit.

Was Lauren really willing to sacrifice her daughter for money and power?

The Hawthorne family could keep such a woman-she deserved them. Let her stay confined to their toxic circle and stop hurting others.

Aurelia sank down onto the sofa, her body relaxing slightly.

A maid quickly scurried over with a soft blanket, draping it gently over her. Being back in her own space, surrounded by her own staff, made her feel instantly lighter, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

She then picked up Gareth’s phone and dialed Eleanor’s number.

The call was answered quickly, Eleanor’s tired, strained voice coming through the line. “Hello?”

It was clear she’d been worn thin by Lauren’s recent behavior, her energy sapped by the chaos.

And yet, she still doted on Lauren like a precious gem, blind to her flaws.

Some people were just inherently foolish-they looked down on quiet, gentle souls, finding perverse joy in those who caused chaos, treating troublemakers like treasures.

“It’s me,” Aurelia said flatly, her tone giving away nothing.

“Aurelia?” Eleanor screeched, “I’m warning you—we’ve already called the police! You’re going to jail, you hear me? Jail!”

She couldn’t believe Aurelia had the audacity to call her after everything that had happened.

Being slapped by her son’s wife was a humiliation she could barely bear-if word got out, she’d never live it gown in their social circle.

Aurelia replied calmly, unaffected by Eleanor’s outburst, “I don’t know about jail. But there’s something I need to

confirm.”

“What?” Eleanor snarled through gritted teeth, her anger palpable even through the phone line.

“I slapped you today, so you’ll pull every string you have to make Dominic divorce me, won’t you?”

Her words were like a match thrown on dry kindling, designed to ignite Eleanor’s fury.

Eleanor was already livid about the slap, and Aurelia’s casual, unapologetic mention of it only added fuel to the

fire.

Before Eleanor could even confront her about the assault,

Aurelia had brought it up herself, as if it were a trivial afterthought.

“You… you…” Eleanor sputtered, too angry to form a coherent sentence. “I’ll see you rot in jail! I’ll make sure of it!”

She was beside herself with rage.

She’d chosen not to confront Aurelia about the slap separately, wanting her to pay for both the assault and the child’s death.

The loss of the child demanded a heavy, irreversible price.

Aurelia continued, her voice steady and unwavering, “I’ve already sent the divorce papers to Dominic. If possible, I’d like to get the signed papers from you tomorrow.”

Eleanor fell silent, stunned into speechlessness by Aurelia’s audacity.

“Given how much you hate me right now. I don’t think this will be too difficult for you, will it?” Aurelia pressed, her voice laced with mockery.

Over the phone, Aurelia kept goading Eleanor, her only goal being to ensure Dominic signed the divorce papers without hesitation or delay-securing her freedom once and for all.
