Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 Unspoken Line

They had not just failed to secure anything decent. At the auction, they had not even managed to win the cheapest

item.

A faint sneer tugged at Maura’s lips. “That does not bother me,” she said lightly. “But you really should discipline your sons’ wives properly.

“Things have blown up this badly. You must be having

such a hard time.”

She sounded as if she were sympathizing, but in truth, she was mocking Eleanor outright, implying that she was incapable of managing her household. “You should really learn from Mrs. Cameron. Look how harmonious her family is.”

The moment those words landed, Eleanor’s face stiffened

with embarrassment.

It was the same as pointing at her in public and accusing her of being incompetent, unable to handle family relationships.

retort, Maura burst out laughing and turned away.

The laughter was loud and carefree. She was clearly enjoying Eleanor’s humiliation far too much.

Eleanor snapped bitterly, “What is she so smug about? Her husband is not exactly clean either. He keeps a mistress on the side. Who does she think she is, laughing at me?”

Lydia followed beside her, equally furious and breathing hard.

“This auction was a complete waste of time,” Lydia complained angrily. “We embarrassed ourselves for nothing.”

She had come intending to buy jewelry she liked, only to have everything snatched away by Aurelia.

Worse still, that pink diamond had been won by someone from Grant’s side. Seeing how openly Grant protected Aurelia at the auction, Lydia did not need to guess. That diamond was almost certainly going to end up in Aurelia’s hands.

“What exactly is Mrs. Maxwell doing? Did she not promise to help arrange a marriage between Grant and me? Why has there been no news at all?”

Her mind immediately went back to how Grant had shielded Aurelia so aggressively at the auction.

That blue diamond was priceless. Aurelia had bid two hundred million, and Grant had practically warned everyone else not to compete.

Grant was supposed to be her fiancé. What was he doing getting tangled up with Aurelia instead?

Eleanor was just as angry. Only yesterday, she had assured Lauren that she would bring the blue diamond back today as a reward. Now this. Forget the blue diamond. She had not even brought back a single ordinary auction item.

“I went out of my way to bring Grant soup before, and he threw me out on the spot. He even said outright that there was no possibility between us.

“I really do not know what the elders of the Fletcher family are thinking.”

The more Lydia spoke, the more wronged and furious she felt.

She had thrown away all her pride for Grant, even humbled herself, yet he would not spare her a single glance.

Eleanor rubbed her temples, irritated by the noise. “Your situation with Grant cannot be rushed.”

She felt like she was losing her mind.

Everything piling up lately was enough to make anyone break.

Lydia pressed on, “Then does Mrs. Maxwell actually have confidence she can settle this marriage for me?

“I cannot wait another second. I want to rush over and slap Aurelia right now.”

Because Aurelia was entangled with Grant, and Lydia had no official status to stop it, she could only watch helplessly.

The frustration was driving her insane.

Eleanor frowned as well. “It is strange. Does the Fletcher family really know nothing about Aurelia and Grant? Why has there been no reaction at all?”

Grant’s protection of Aurelia had recently been absolute.

By all logic, news of something like this should have reached the Fletcher family elders long ago.

Under normal circumstances, they would never tolerate their heir getting involved with a woman like Aurelia.

After all, the Fletcher family was not to be trifled with.

If they intended to intervene, given their usual style, they should have acted already.

Yet there had been no sign of it whatsoever.

Lydia chimed in, “Exactly. What are the Fletcher family elders thinking? Mom, should you go visit Fletcher Manor yourself?”

At this point, both Lydia and Eleanor were convinced that the Fletcher family was still in the dark.

news in person.

She clenched her teeth. “Yes. I will go this afternoon.”

She could not wait another second.

She wanted nothing more than to expose this to the Fletcher family immediately and destroy Aurelia.

Aurelia was not even officially divorced from Dominic yet, and she was already carrying on outside.

This was trampling the Hawthorne family’s dignity

underfoot.

Eleanor ground her teeth.

Lydia immediately said, “Then I am coming with you.”

The Fletcher family elders had been evasive about the marriage alliance lately, and Lydia wanted to see where things really stood.

She had originally planned to visit the Fletcher family often, to curry favor with Grant’s parents. All of that had been ruined by Aurelia.

Now, Aurelia had dragged them into endless trouble day after day.

On top of that, Grant had thrown her out of Fletcher Group earlier, shaking her confidence badly. With Eleanor heading to the Fletcher family, Lydia wanted to go along and see things for herself.

Grant personally drove Aurelia back to Starlight Hill.

As she was getting out of the car, her wrist was suddenly caught. Aurelia turned back in confusion. “What is it?”

Grant looked at her seriously. “I am coming for lunch

tomorrow.”

Aurelia froze.

He lowered his voice. “I’ll bring something delicious.”

The moment she heard “something good,” her eyes lit up.

Recently, Sebastian had been extremely strict about her diet in order to help her recover.

The food the chefs prepared for her was so light and bland that it barely had any taste at all.

Hearing that Grant was bringing food, Aurelia asked quickly, “Lunch or dinner?”

There was no way she could get up early enough for breakfast.

Grant smiled, “Lunch.”

“All right,” she said eagerly. “So what are you bringing?”

He kept her guessing. “You will find out tomorrow.”

She nodded. “Fine. See you tomorrow.”

She genuinely wanted a change of flavors. She was tired of living on tasteless broth and bland dishes.

Just as she was about to step fully out of the car, something occurred to her. Aurelia turned back to Grant.

“Grant, you really should not have grabbed my hand like that in public at the auction today.’

“People out there are definitely spreading ugly rumors about us now,” Aurelia said.

In truth, she already understood what Grant felt toward her.

But under the current circumstances, she could not voice her own feelings.

Grant answered bluntly, “Then move faster and get the divorce from Dominic finalized.”

Aurelia fell silent.

She had already been fighting with Dominic over divorce for half a year. Now that she had discovered her mother’s death was tied to the Hawthorne family, the divorce was inevitable.

Still, hearing Grant say it so directly left her conflicted.

She looked at him and finally said, unable to stop herself, “Grant, you deserve a better woman.”

In her heart, someone like her, already married, was simply not worthy of him.
