Chapter 208 Slap
Meanwhile, the Hawthorne Manor was absolute
chaos. The second Aurelia walked in, she made herself
comfortable on the sofa.
She had a book in her hands and looked every bit like she owned the place, sitting there all relaxed and at ease. That calm, collected attitude made Eleanor so angry she could barely breathe.
Gareth stood behind Aurelia like a sentinel.
The staff she’d brought with her were all German, and right now two of them were upstairs getting rooms ready. Aurelia had given them one simple instruction. “I want the biggest bedroom, and I’ll need the biggest room for my study too.”
“Of course,” they’d both said with a respectful nod.
Two rooms, and both had to be the biggest ones? When Eleanor heard that, she practically jumped out of her
seat.
There are no available rooms upstairs!” she snapped 3:04

here.
Aurelia didn’t even look up from her book. “Then make some room. Go on.”
“Yes, ma’am,” the two staff members said and headed upstairs.
Eleanor’s breath came in sharp, angry bursts. “Make room? Make room for who exactly?!”
They’d already told her there were no available rooms, and now she was demanding they make space for her? The audacity was unbelievable. She really didn’t consider
herself an outsider at all.
Aurelia wanted to stay at the Hawthorne Manor, and that attitude of hers was exactly why Eleanor couldn’t allow her to remain with the Hawthorne family.
Why hadn’t the police arrested her yet? She’d caused a child’s death, so why was she still here, causing trouble at the Hawthorne Manor?
Because that was exactly what this was-trouble. Eleanor say it clearly now. Aurelia was determined to destroy 13:04
their last peaceful refuge.

“I want the biggest room,” Aurelia said, flipping through her book without looking up. “Who cares which one of you is using it?”
“You’ve got some nerve, acting like you own the place!” Lydia said through clenched teeth.
At those words, Aurelia lifted her eyes from the pages and looked at them with cold contempt. The pressure in her gaze was sharp and commanding, like a queen staring down her subjects.
She sneered, “Actually, you’re right. I am still your brother’s wife. We’re not divorced.”
Eleanor and Lydia bit their tongue.
Her words stabbed directly into Eleanor’s nerves like a
knife.
“Let me guess,” Aurelia said, her tone casual. “That divorce agreement you’ve got is supposed to make me leave with nothing, right?”
She added, “Bet you’re regretting not offering me five billion dollars to get lost now, aren’t you?”

Eleanor felt like she might pass out from sheer rage as she watched Aurelia’s careless demeanor.
Yes, she regretted it. Why hadn’t she just prepared a five billion dollar settlement and been done with it?
Instead, she’d drawn up papers that left Aurelia with nothing, and Dominic refused to sign them.
Now, Aurelia had the perfect excuse to waltz into the Hawthorne Manor and wreak havoc.
“You want five billion? Fine, you got it! Now get the hell out of my house!” Eleanor couldn’t let Aurelia stay at Hawthorne Manor for another second.
But when she heard Eleanor’s teeth-grinding agreement, Aurelia just laughed. “It hasn’t even been an hour and you’re already caving?”
Eleanor wanted her gone from Hawthorne Manor already?
Then how the hell was Eleanor going to survive the rest of
this?

“Sorry, but five billion doesn’t cut it anymore,” Aurelia said smoothly.
When Aurelia first demanded five billion, Eleanor had lost it entirely and refused to pay, no matter what.
But now, five billion wouldn’t be enough to make Aurelia leave.
Eleanor felt like she was about to pass out from sheer rage. “Then what do you want? How much?”
Looking at how Aurelia had come back today, Eleanor was clearly willing to agree to anything just to get her out.
But this time, Aurelia just smiled at her and didn’t answer. Instead, she turned to the nutritionist standing nearby. “I want some meat in my soup.”
“Of course,” the nutritionist said with a nod, and she headed straight for the kitchen.
The moment the two of them walked in, they kicked Hawthorne Manor’s regular kitchen staff right out the door.

than to just pass out and be done with it all.
Before long, the two German maids who’d gone upstairs came back down, their arms loaded with belongings, and stopped at the top of the stairs. “Where should we put these things?” one of them asked, her English flawless and precise.
Lydia’s eyes locked onto what the maids were carrying, and her blood went cold. Those were her things, straight from her bedroom. The other maid held items from
Bianca’s room.
Bianca wasn’t even here, but the maids had already picked out the biggest bedroom to clear for Aurelia.
Lydia shot to her feet, rage flooding through her. “What gives you the right to touch my stuff? Put it all back,
now!”
Eleanor felt dizzy with anger, her vision swimming. This
was outrageous.
Lydia bolted toward the stairs, screaming as she ran. “You shameless people, put everything back right now!”

One of the maids tilted her head “There’s nowhere to put

it? Fine, we’ll just leave it in the living room then.”
The moment the words left her mouth, both maids hurled everything over the railing.
The belongings crashed to the floor with a deafening thud. Since they’d been carelessly bundled together, everything was scattered across the marble in chaos. The entire living room looked like a disaster zone.
Lydia’s nerves were already stretched to the breaking point, but seeing these people treat her this way in her own home pushed her over the edge. “Aurelia, you bitch!” she shrieked. “Get out of my house and take them with
you!”
Lydia had already resented Aurelia for getting close to Grant, and now watching her waltz in with her entourage and pull this stunt made her lose it completely. The insult flew from her mouth without hesitation.
But the second that word left Lydia’s lips, Gareth, who’d been standing silently behind Aurelia, gave one of the maids a pointed look.
The maid caught his meaning immediately and nodded:04

slapped Lydia hard across the face.
The crack of the slap echoed through the foyer, sharp and
clean.
Lydia froze mid-sentence, her next insult dying in her
throat.
Eleanor stood paralyzed, stunned into silence by that single, crisp sound.
She couldn’t believe Aurelia would actually dare to do something like this.
