Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 224 Don’t Blame Me

Right now, her eyes held a hatred fierce enough to tear Aurelia apart.

Aurelia raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t lay a finger on you.”

Eleanor glared, speechless.

“You didn’t, but the people you brought did! How is that any different from you hitting my mother?” Lydia retorted, furious.

This damn Aurelia!

Aurelia insisted she was part of the Hawthorne family, strong-arming her way back in, yet showed zero respect to her elders.

What kind of part did she even think she was?

“Your mother set the rules,” Aurelia replied calmly. “They were just enforcing them. Is there a problem with that?”

Lydia was at a loss for words.

would you?” Aurelia pressed, her tone deceptively light. “What kind of ‘rules’ would those be, then?”

Each word, softly spoken, landed with the weight of a hammer.

Eleanor felt dizzy with rage.

This damn girl! When did her mouth get so sharp? Was there no one who could shut her up?

“Dominic!” Eleanor roared, turning to her son when she couldn’t out-argue Aurelia.

Dominic took a drag from his cigarette and looked at Aurelia. “Go to your room.”

“What did you say?” Hearing Dominic tell Aurelia to go to her room, Eleanor was appalled.

What was he doing? They called him back to throw

Aurelia out. They hadn’t even begun to settle the

accounts.

Was he protecting her now?

Eleanor’s chest tightened with suffocating anger. “What

about all those properties? Has that been dealt with? And you’re telling her to go to her room? What room? She

needs to get out of this house today.”

Dominic’s voice was flat. “They were just a few villas. What’s the big deal?”

Eleanor, Lydia, and Lauren stared at him, stunned into

silence.

No one could believe what they had just heard-especially

Eleanor.

She gaped at him, breathless. “What did you say? ‘What’s the big deal?””

“Weren’t they originally gifts from me to her?” Dominic

asked.

The simple statement left the three women momentarily speechless.

Eleanor recovered first. “Not all of them were from you.”

“However much you lost, I’ll cover it,” Dominic stated.

Eleanor was speechless again.

Dominic had clearly lost all patience.

The company situation was getting worse, and the family drama was grating.

He just wanted this conflict over.

“You’ll cover it? That’s still the Hawthorne family’s money. Yours is the family’s, too!” Eleanor shot back.

Aurelia picked up the fruit platter, speared a piece of apple, and took a bite.

The loud, crisp crunch made everyone’s heart jump- especially Lauren’s.

She truly hadn’t eaten all day.

The leftover dishes on the table, the soup in the tureen…

it all looked delicious.

Lauren had never craved food like this before.

Guess when you were starving, everything looked good. Lauren really wanted to eat something.

Seeing Aurelia so casually enjoying her food made. Eleanor’s insides burn with fury.

“Dominic, do you think this is just about the houses?” she pressed. “She… since she moved back today, she’s made sure none of us have had a single bite to eat.”

Aurelia swallowed her apple. “You’re not hungry. Don’t blame me.”

Eleanor, Lauren, and Lydia were left speechless once

more.

They just believed Aurelia was utterly shameless. Now she was claiming they weren’t hungry.

But… they were starving.

“She has to get out of here. Now!” Eleanor no longer wanted to argue.

She just wanted Aurelia gone.

Aurelia finished eating and stood up.

Gareth stepped forward respectfully to pull back her chair. “You all can keep arguing” Aurelia said. “I’m going

upstairs to rest.”

With that, she turned and headed for the staircase.

Eleanor took two steps after her. “Go upstairs? You get out of here!”

“I’m Dominic’s wife, not some outsider. The word ‘out’ doesn’t apply to me.” Aurelia didn’t even look back.

Eleanor, fuming, tried to block Aurelia’s path, but after only two steps, she was stopped by Aurelia’s attendants.

Aurelia came prepared, bringing all these martial-trained servants. She made sure no one in the Hawthorne family

could touch her.

Aurelia disappeared upstairs.

Eleanor turned her furious gaze to Dominic. “See? Do you see now? Who among us can do anything to her?”

Dominic’s eyelids lifted slightly. “What exactly did you want to do to her?

“If she hadn’t brought these people back, what were No944

planning to do?”

“What are you implying? That I was wrong before?” Eleanor demanded.

Dominic stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and stood up.

He glanced at Eleanor, said nothing, and followed Aurelia upstairs.

With them gone, Aurelia’s servants went about their business.

The kitchen remained under their control; the Hawthorne family couldn’t get near it.

Eleanor stamped her foot in frustration. “What does he mean by that?”

Lydia’s voice was low and bitter. “Dominic is just protecting her.”

Eleanor shouted, “He’s still protecting her now? After all that bitch…”

The moment the insult left Eleanor’s lips, two servants working in the kitchen turned and fixed her with icy, 13:14

threatening glares.

The words died in Eleanor’s throat under that stare.

Swallowing her rage, she changed tack. “What about her cozying up to Grant? Doesn’t Dominic care about that at

all?”

Mentioning Grant made Lydia’s expression darken further.

Grant is mine!

Aurelia must have known they were discussing a marriage alliance, yet she still clung to him.

She must have done it on purpose.
