Chapter 195 Aurelia’s Cold Resolve

Every word Aurelia spoke sounded like it was forced through clenched teeth.

The collapse and madness in her voice twisted together, making it terrifying to hear-and heartbreaking.

Sebastian said with concern, “Aurelia, you…”

“Sebastian, go ahead and tear apart every bit of the Hawthorne family’s overseas business. Rip it to nothing!”

As for the Hawthorne family itself, that so-called safe haven where they believed they could hide from the outside world and live in peace, she would grind that illusion down piece by piece as well.

Sebastian fell silent.

By this point, he was certain something had gone terribly wrong. Whatever had happened to Aurelia was no small

matter.

Fine. Wherever you go next, Gareth must stay with you 50

“Of course I will.”

Aurelia stayed on the phone with Sebastian for quite some time before finally hanging up.

On the other end, Sebastian had been listening to the

extreme madness in her tone.

He could tell Aurelia was now determined to destroy the Hawthorne family with her own hands. No one could talk

her out of it.

If she didn’t tear them apart completely, the pain and hatred in her heart would never ease.

Gareth had been standing guard outside the door, deeply

worried about Aurelia.

Just as he was trying to figure out what Grace had said to upset her so badly, Aurelia pushed the door open and stepped out.

One glance was enough for Gareth to see the despair and madness etched across her face.

He asked anxiously, “Ms. Smith, are you all right?” 12:50

Aurelia stared at him intently. “Get someone to prepare things for me. In half a month, I’m going back to the Hawthorne Manor.”

For the next half month, Aurelia planned to rest and recover at Starlight Hill.

She knew that whatever she did next, she needed a strong body to see it through.

When Gareth heard she was actually returning to the Hawthorne Manor, he froze.

Aurelia’s lips curved into a cold, terrifying smile. “Is this fate? No-this is what my mother wanted.

“As her daughter, how could I just walk away from the family that killed her without doing anything?”

The word “mother” should have been spoken gently, but coming from Aurelia now, it carried an unprecedented sense of danger.

She closed her eyes wearily. “Let that lawyer rest and recover. She’s been through enough lately.”

“Yes.”

Gareth nodded, then asked, “What about the divorce.

from Dominic?”

“Divorce? Why would I divorce? Isn’t my marriage into the Hawthorne family a blessing for them?”

Gareth was speechless.

Aurelia said viciously, “How could I cut off their good fortune? If I actually divorced, that would make me too cruel!”

The word cruel sounded fractured and manic coming from her, creating an invisible yet suffocating pressure.

Gareth had a strong feeling that the Hawthorne family was truly finished.

When Dominic heard from Aurelia that she wouldn’t divorce, he should have been happy.

But for some reason, a deep unease settled in his heart,.

That night, Dominic returned to Westchester County.

His assistant Jason handed him the phone he’d asked for. What surprised him was that when he called Aurelia from that number, she had not blocked it.

This was the first time since their complete fallout that she hadn’t blocked his call.

The phone connected quickly. Aurelia said flatly, “Speak.”

Her voice came through the phone, unusually gentle.

Yes, gentle. Though she’d only said one word, her tone carried a strange softness.

That gentle voice felt like a poison-coated needle stabbing straight into Dominic’s heart.

His throat tightened instinctively. He asked tensely, “Where are you?”

On the other end, Aurelia’s eyes were full of icy hatred.

But when she spoke, she kept that gentle tone. “What do you want?”

“Tell me the truth-are you planning something again?” Dominic suppressed his unease and asked in a low voice.

His instincts screamed that Aurelia was about to stir up something big.

Before, whenever she caused trouble, her madness. was written all over her face. It was obvious, easy to anticipate.

That kind of madness made it easy to predict she was up to no good.

But now, this calm gentleness made her completely unreadable.

Dominic had the disturbing feeling that she might tear something apart at any moment, and that uncertainty made him deeply uneasy.

Hearing the restrained emotion in Dominic’s voice, Aurelia gave a cold laugh. “Planning something?”

“Don’t go causing more trouble!” Dominic warned through gritted teeth.

want a divorce?”

Hearing his frustrated breathing on the other end, a dangerous yet gentle smile curved her lips.

Yes. That same dangerous gentleness.

She could tell Dominic was already panicking.

The fact that he could not predict her next move, that he had lost control of the situation, filled her with a twisted sense of satisfaction.

Dominic’s breathing grew uneven. “You already kept the whole family from sleeping before. Whatever’s bothering you, you’ve vented enough by now, haven’t you?”

“That is an interesting thing to say,” Aurelia replied. “How about we go get divorced right now?”

Dominic was left at a loss for words. “You…”

“I agreed not to divorce, and that makes you this

uneasy?”

The word “uneasy” dripped with mockery from her lips:50

She found it laughable that these heartless Hawthornes could feel unease at all.

Chapter 196 A Marriage Turned Battlefield

Deep down, the Hawthornes knew exactly how many unforgivable things they’d done.

The slightest hint of trouble made them restless, terrified that retribution was finally coming.

Dominic shouted into the phone, “I just want to know what you’re planning!”

“If you’re that scared, why don’t we just get divorced?” Aurelia said casually. ·

Hearing her indifferent tone instantly set Dominic off.

He couldn’t understand how she could now talk about divorce so easily.

What did their past feelings even mean to her?

“Aurelia, what do you take me for? What do you take our marriage for?”

For a moment, his voice on the phone sounded 12:51

Aurelia gave a cold laugh. “Then what do you want me to do? I say I won’t divorce, and you suspect I’m plotting something.

“I say I will, and you accuse me of not respecting the marriage. So what about you? What have you ever taken me for?”

Dominic had no answer.

The air in the room seemed to freeze, heavy and suffocating.

He rubbed his aching temples tiredly. “Where are you? I’ll come pick you up and bring you home.”

The word “home” struck Aurelia like a bad joke. She let out a mocking laugh.

She would never forget that night-how coldly and ruthlessly he’d driven her away.

Of course. A marriage built on a vast imbalance of power could only ever end like this.

forced me to leave?” she asked coldly.

Dominic avoided the question and stubbornly repeated, “Where are you?”

He had no intention of dredging up old wounds over the phone. Since she had agreed not to divorce, he felt she should return home immediately, as a matter of course.

His answer was the sound of the line going dead.

Staring at the phone as it beeped, Dominic felt his head throb with rage.

Aurelia tossed her phone onto the table. Only then did she notice that Chloe was already sitting beside her.

She blinked. “When did you get back?”

“Five minutes ago. What’s going on with you and Dominic now?”

Aurelia answered straightforwardly, “I’m not divorcing.”

Chloe froze, stunned. “What happened?”
