Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219 Burned to Ashes!

A silence fell over the room.

Gareth watched Aurelia’s relentless series of ruthless moves and wondered why she was being so ruthless toward the Hawthorne family.

Still, he couldn’t help but remind her, “Ms. Smith, Mr. Smith mentioned you need to return to Germany soon. So your top priority right now should still be finalizing the divorce with Mr. Hawthorne.”

“Don’t worry. It won’t cause any delays,” Aurelia said, placing a piece of apple in her mouth.

She then added with a laugh, “At this point, the divorce is the least of my concerns.”

Gareth fell silent.

He understood exactly what she meant.

Given how she had turned the Hawthorne family upside down, they were all probably desperate to see her gone.

Chloe’s call came through.

Aurelia answered, “Chloe.”

Chloe said, “I just got word about several fires today. I did some digging-they’re properties under Lydia and Eleanor’s names. And Lauren’s, too.”

“My doing,” Aurelia said.

Chloe was speechless.

Well then. Perfect.

She had known that once Aurelia returned to the Hawthorne Manor, all hell would break loose.

But she had assumed Aurelia would just turn the

household inside out.

She never expected her to burn everything the Hawthorne family owned to the ground.

Aurelia continued, “They love stealing things, don’t they? But anything taken by force was never truly theirs to begin with.”

Chloe paused.

She has a point.

If you snatched something from someone else and thought it was yours for keeps, you were dead wrong.

“Did they have a stroke from pure rage?” Chloe asked.

Aurelia smiled, “Two of them already stormed out. One’s still upstairs.”

Lydia and Eleanor had fled.

As for Lauren, still holding her ground upstairs-she probably hadn’t heard the news yet.

“They still don’t know about your connection to Smith Group, right?” Chloe asked,

Aurelia said, “No. They think Grant’s protecting me.”

“These people…” Chloe sighed.

Hawthorne Group was trapped and pressured on all sides by Smith Group, and they still hadn’t figured out

Aurelia’s ties to Smith Group.

No wonder she was wiping the floor with them.

Chloe warned, “Eleanor and Lydia might try to sabotage your relationship with Grant next. Watch out for the elders of the Fletcher family.”

As the young miss of the Taylor family, Chloe knew exactly how formidable the Fletcher family elders could be.

If they teamed up with Eleanor against Aurelia…

“The Fletcher family probably knows who I am,” Aurelia replied.

“Right. Otherwise, they’d have stepped in already.”

Chloe was genuinely worried for her friend.

But thinking it over, maybe she didn’t need to be. The Fletcher family elders were tough, but at least they were reasonable.

Still, considering Grant’s current attitude toward Aurelia,

Chloe felt a flicker of concern.

They chatted a bit longer before hanging up.

Right after the call ended, Lauren hurried down the stairs, wrapped in a shawl.

Spotting Aurelia, she shot her a venomous glare.

Unlike Eleanor and Lydia, she didn’t stop to argue-she just headed straight out the door.

Aurelia smiled faintly, “Seems she got the news, too.”

Gareth confirmed, “Everything they took from you, Ms. Smith, has been destroyed.”

“Good,” Aurelia said, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

It wasn’t just what they’d stolen from her—their own

assets, too.

Their greed had backfired spectacularly, leaving them with nothing but losses.

But it still wasn’t enough.

The value the family had reaped from seizing that land

years ago far exceeded all this.

Just as Aurelia expected, Dominic was in a meeting with the board members when Eleanor’s calls started flooding in.

The directors and major shareholders were already furious over the Smith Group, so Dominic had left his phone outside.

Each time, Jason answered.

“Mrs. Eleanor Hawthorne,” he said respectfully.

“Put Dominic on the phone. Now,” Eleanor said.

Even through the receiver, Jason could hear the fury in her voice.

Jason stated, “I’m sorry, Madam. Mr. Hawthorne is in a meeting.”

“What meeting? I’m dying here. If he doesn’t come back and throw that bitch out now, I will literally die.”

Jason hesitated.

Hearing Eleanor’s hysterical shouts, he felt a headache coming on.

Dominic had given strict orders not to be disturbed.

He didn’t dare interrupt.

Eleanor added, “Tell him everything’s gone! Burned to ashes!”

“Where? What’s burned?” Jason’s heart lurched at the words “burned to ashes.”

He thought of the fire at Oakridge Estate a few days ago and the one at Marilyn’s Emerald Bay Residences.

Now Eleanor was talking about fire…

Was it Aurelia again?

“Egret Bay Residences, Fortune Gardens… and Lydia’s Azure Sky Residences and Brocade Court Villas-all gone! Everything!” Eleanor shouted.

Those were prime properties.

Now, Aurelia had wiped them all out.

“And Lauren’s places, too…” Eleanor added, though she hadn’t caught all the details-just that Lauren had rushed out after getting the news.

Aurelia is merciless.

“Tell him Aurelia is back for revenge. She won’t rest until

we’re all ruined. Does he still want her even after this?” Eleanor screamed, utterly unhinged.

She had never imagined Aurelia could be this vicious.

On her very first day back at the Hawthorne Manor, she had torn them all apart, especially their finances.

Eleanor truly wanted her dead.

Hearing so many locations had gone up in flames, Jason knew he couldn’t wait. He entered the conference room, phone in hand.

The atmosphere inside was tense, the board members and shareholders visibly angry.

Seeing Jason, Dominic’s expression darkened. “I said no. interruptions.”

“I apologize, but…” Jason’s face was grim.

Meeting Dominic’s icy gaze, he summoned his courage

and stepped forward.
