Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 You Agreed to Her Demands?

Once, Eleanor would have laughed off talk of “international lawyers.”

Now, though, she believed it-all because Grant stood firmly behind Aurelia.

Whatever had possessed that man to aid such a bitch, she’d never fathom.

Once the divorce was finalized, the elders of the Fletcher family were bound to be thrown into a panic over Aurelia -terrified that Grant might actually marry her.

And once that happened, her days of peace would be over.

Closing her eyes tightly, Eleanor gritted her teeth. “Nine o’clock tomorrow morning. Pick it up at the hospital front desk.”

She refused to let Aurelia cross the threshold of the Hawthorne family’s residence again; the signed divorce papers would be left at the hospital instead.

She’d caved, giving in to Aurelia’s outrageous demands- anything to drive her out of the Hawthorne family.

Once, she’d have conceded to any request if it meant Aurelia’s departure.

The loss was staggering, but worth it to rid the family of this curse.

“Good,” Aurelia replied, then ended the call immediately.

Listening to the sharp dial tone, Eleanor spat into the receiver, resentment still boiling. “Bitch!”

The sum was mind-boggling-after careful calculation, she realized Aurelia would walk away with over a billion dollars even after all her underhanded maneuvers.

It filled her with rage.

“Take it-if you’ve got the luck to claim it and the life to spend it,” she hissed.

The thought of Aurelia rotting in prison over the baby’s death soothed Eleanor’s fury.

she’d never touch?

Eleanor would ensure Aurelia never saw the light of day

again.

The gall of her, demanding half the assets.

On Aurelia’s end, she set down the phone and turned to Chloe, calm and concise. “It’s done.”

“Did Dominic agree to the divorce? Wait-that was Eleanor on the line, not him,” Chloe said, confusion creasing her brow. She’d recognized Eleanor’s voice instantly.

Aurelia said, “It was her, but she told me to pick up the divorce papers tomorrow.”

That meant it was finalized.

“So Dominic agreed, too?” Chloe pressed.

“He doesn’t have a choice-not with Lauren’s baby dead,”

Aurelia said flatly.

Everyone blamed her for the child’s death, Dominic included.

If he still clung to her after that, it would be sheer absurdity.

“Good riddance. Once it’s done, get back to Germany right away,” Chloe urged.

“Okay.” Aurelia nodded.

Tomorrow she’d pick up the papers, bid on that blue diamond for Sebastian, then head straight to Germany, leaving the rest to the lawyers.

Chloe frowned. “But Eleanor agreeing this easily feels fishy. Do you think she’ll drag you deeper into trouble over the baby’s death?”

The Hawthornes were loaded, but Eleanor was

notoriously cheap.

For her to agree to split the assets? She was probably already called the police about the baby. She might even be plotting to make sure Aurelia never gets out of jail.

Dominic might be indifferent, but Eleanor, Lydia, and

Lauren would certainly scheme.

Once Aurelia was locked up, they’d have countless ways to torment her.

Aurelia smiled faintly, a hint of amusement in her eyes, “They can scheme all they want-but first, they have to get me behind bars.”

“You’re right,” Chloe agreed, nodding.

The last incident had proven the Hawthornes couldn’t frame Aurelia as they pleased anymore.

All their tricks would be useless unless they could lock her up-and that was unlikely to ever happen.

“They still see you as that vulnerable girl from the orphanage they can push around,” Chloe said, anger flaring.

That was exactly what the Hawthornes believed-that Aurelia was still the helpless soul they could manipulate

at will.

They have no clue what my life is like now,” Aurelia said softly.

Chloe fell silent, the truth dawning on her.

The entire Hawthorne family was oblivious to Aurelia’s true identity-her biological brother, her father, her status as the little princess of the Smith family, one of the world’s wealthiest families.

At the Hawthorne Group, Lydia waited outside the reception room.

None of the secretaries dared to leave while their superiors remained-except Alice, who’d departed promptly at the end of the work day.

She had no sense of obligation to stay when her bosses were working, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on a minor employee.

The only thing that mattered was Aurelia.

The moment the reception room door opened, Lydia stepped forward. “Mom, what happened? Dominic looked furious earlier, and I didn’t dare ask. Then you closed the dogr, and I heard shouting.”

Eleanor glanced at her, avoiding the question. “Is Dominic still here?”

Aurelia’s words on the phone had enraged her for over an hour, the anger lingering like a weight in her chest.

That woman was insufferably infuriating.

But the thought of Aurelia never getting to spend the money eased her irritation slightly.

Lydia nodded. “He hasn’t come out.”

“I’ll go see him,” Eleanor said, striding toward Dominic’s office.

The moment she opened the door, a thick cloud of cigarette smoke hit her.

Dominic hung up the phone just as she stepped in, his expression gloomy and menacing-she had no idea who he’d been speaking to.

Eleanor closed the door, walked over, and took a seat across from him. The divorce papers Jason had delivered earlier still lay on the desk.

The sight of the words “Divorce Agreement” tightened her chest with discomfort.

Taking a deep breath, she said flatly, “Sign it.”

The entire ordeal with Aurelia had been a nightmare.

In Eleanor’s eyes, Aurelia had contributed nothing to the Hawthorne family in three years.

If she’d worked at the Hawthorne Group like Lauren, securing projects and driving growth, Eleanor might have accepted splitting the assets.

But Aurelia was just a housewife who’d done nothing to earn it-yet she had the audacity to demand such a fortune.

She hoped Aurelia would still be so arrogant behind bars.

Dominic looked up, surprised. “What did you say?”

“I said sign it,” Eleanor snapped.

That bitch had to divorce Dominic before going to jail.

Otherwise, her name would forever be tied to the Hawthorne family.

Eleanor had endured enough of that-she never wanted anyone to link Aurelia to their family again.

Dominic scoffed, saying, “You agreed to her demands? Even though she’s taking so much money?”

“Yes, I agreed-happy now?” Eleanor snapped.

She’d never get the chance to spend a single penny of it

anyway.
