Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 Promise Me

Lydia hadn’t dared to see her circle of friends lately. The humiliation was too much.

Her prospective fiancé was entangled with her brother’s wife-it was beyond embarrassing.

Lauren stepped forward. “Let’s go to my room first.”

The place was full of Aurelia’s people. If they spoke too plainly here, it would definitely reach Aurelia’s ears.

Eleanor was livid.

Nothing had been accomplished, and Dominic was still protecting Aurelia.

Once inside Lauren’s room, Eleanor burst out, “And the police! Why haven’t they arrested her yet?”

If they just locked Aurelia up, the Hawthorne Manor could finally have peace.

Hearing the mention of arresting Aurelia, a flicker of $919ething passed through Lauren’s downcast ees. 13:15

“Eleanor,” she said calmly, “I want Kellen to come take care of me.”

Kellen was Marilyn’s person.

Lauren hadn’t brought her back after leaving the hospital, worried Eleanor would object—asking if the manor lacked staff, or if they couldn’t take good care of her.

But now, seeing that Aurelia had actually moved in, she wasn’t sure about the progress of the police investigation.

Having Kellen by her side would be a comfort.

Eleanor’s heart sank unpleasantly at the request.

But considering the current state of the manor, she finally nodded. “Let Kellen come. Anyone left from the Drake family you want, bring them all.”

Aurelia knew how to bring people, but Lauren had a family, too.

Did Aurelia think she was the only one who could make trouble? They all wanted to make trouble then.

Hearing this. Lauren smiled. “Alright. I’ll have Kellen

come and bring the rest. Mom isn’t around these days anyway.”

Eleanor gave a silent nod of agreement.

Lauren then turned to Lydia. “You still need to hurry things along with Grant.”

At the sudden comment, Eleanor also looked at Lydia.

Lydia stiffened. Meeting Eleanor’s gaze, her eyes held

resistance.

She had always been proud, never subjected to such cold

treatment before.

Lydia liked Grant and wanted to be with him.

But after swallowing her pride to fawn over him last time, only to be treated that way, she couldn’t bring herself to try again.

Eleanor agreed, “She’s right. You still need to think of a way with Grant.”

asn’t just about hurrying.

If their interactions had been smooth, then yes, she should hurry.

But the current situation was that the Fletcher family elders’ stance was unclear, and Grant was icy toward Lydia.

“What else can I do?” Lydia’s voice trembled. “Grant already said it that day-there’s no possibility of a relationship with me.”

“He said that to you?” Eleanor asked.

“Yes! What am I supposed to do?” As she spoke, Lydia burst into tears. “It’s all Aurelia’s fault. That bitch is seducing him.”

Both Eleanor’s and Lauren’s expressions darkened at her

words.

Lauren’s tone turned impatient. “Didn’t I tell you? You

need to learn some of Aurelia’s tricks.”

Lydia refused to do so. “Learn from her? I…”

Then what? Should we just let her lean on Grant and keep tormenting us?” Lauren was truly displeased now.

She looked at Lydia as if she were a waste.

Had Lydia learned nothing from how Aurelia handled

Dominic?

She couldn’t even capture a man’s heart.

How pathetic. Lauren shook her head.

If Lydia could secure Grant’s heart, Aurelia wouldn’t have a chance to throw her weight around the manor using his

name.

Eleanor and Lauren were now in agreement—to completely free themselves from Aurelia’s torment, they had to separate her from Grant.

And they assigned this crucial task to Lydia.

*****

In Aurelia’s room, when Dominic entered, he found the space completely transformed, with no trace left of Lydia’s previous occupancy.

Aurelia was sitting on a chair, on the phone.

Seeing him come in, she said into the receiver, “Yes, dinner tomorrow. Talk then, bye.”

She then hung up.

Hearing her mention dinner tomorrow, a violent aura seemed to radiate from Dominic.

“Was that Grant?” he asked, his voice frosty.

Aurelia set the phone down and gave him a cold glance, not answering.

Her eyes seemed to say, “None of your business, Dominic.”

Dominic couldn’t stand that look. It made his temples throb with fury.

He strode over, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up from the sofa.

“You agree not to divorce, yet you’re still entangled with Grant? What the hell do you take me for?” Each word was ground out between his teeth.

The issue of Grant and Aurelia had always bothered him.

Now Aurelia was living in the Hawthorne Manor, still acting unclear with Grant.

He was furious, jealous, and utterly powerless to stop it.

Then he remembered what Grant had mentioned to him.

One hand gripped Aurelia’s wrist, the other clamped around her soft waist.

“Promise me,” Dominic said, his voice strained, “that you’ll stop seeing Grant.”

He suspected Grant had learned about that matter from being around Aurelia too much lately.

If they kept in contact, he was truly worried.

Aurelia met his gaze. “Then can you promise to cut ties with the Hawthorne family? Can you stay away from

Lauren?”

Dominic froze, breath catching in his throat.

Aurelia’s smile was bright but her words were sharp.

“See? You can’t do it either.

“You’re the one trying to have your cake and eat it, too. What right do you have to tell me who I can see?”

“He’s not a good man,” Dominic gritted out.

Aurelia laughed lightly. “He’s not a good man? Then why have you associated with him all these years?”

Dominic was stunned.

“What does that prove? It proves you’re not a good man either.” Her eyes gleamed with mockery. “Since I could fall for a bad man like you back then, I can fall for a bad man like him, too, can’t I?”

“Aurelia!” Dominic snapped, his anger finally erupting.

She was pushing him to his breaking point.

But as soon as his furious cry left his lips, Aurelia kicked him hard in the shin.

Dominic grunted in pain, his hands instinctively releasing berwrist and waist.
