Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228 We’re Moving to Westchester County

Hawthorne Manor was uninhabitable.

Every Hawthorne property had been destroyed that day.

Eleanor had called the police, but without evidence linking Aurelia to the crimes, there was nothing they could do-just like with the child’s incident.

No proof meant no justice.

Lauren could no longer recover from childbirth at Hawthorne Manor.

After a hasty discussion, Eleanor suggested moving her to Westchester County.

The proposal made Lydia and Lauren glance at her.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Eleanor snapped.

“Won’t that make her angrier?” Lydia asked, nervousness creeping into her voice.

hesitation while joy bubbled inside her.

“Is that a good idea?” Lauren echoed, feigning hesitation while joy bubbled inside her.

She’d wanted to leave Hawthorne Manor more than

anything—even for a single moment.

Westchester County, a place Dominic had poured his heart and soul into creating, had long been a fantasy of hers.

Now, with Eleanor’s proposal, that fantasy might become reality.

“Not a good idea?” Eleanor gritted her teeth. “She refused to go back to Westchester County and insisted on occupying Hawthorne Manor. If we can’t beat her, we’ll let her have this place. We’re leaving.”

“You’re right. She’s the one who refused to go back to Westchester County herself, so let’s take Lauren there to recover from childbirth,” Lydia echoed, falling in line with Eleanor’s idea.

Syre, Aurelia would throw a fit, but on second thought:16

hadn’t she been causing chaos here all day long?

Staying cooped up with her any longer would drive them all to a nervous breakdown!

Being far away from Aurelia would be the best possible

outcome.

Seeing Lauren’s silence, Lydia stepped in to reassure her, “Don’t worry, Lauren. The most important thing is your recovery. Whether we’re here or there, she’ll find a way to stir up trouble. Let’s put your health first.”

“Alright, I-I’ll listen to you,” Lauren said, still pretending

reluctance.

Inside, she was elated.

She’d heard from Eleanor and Lydia that Aurelia had attacked Dominic in his room, injuring him.

Men craved tenderness-something Aurelia clearly

lacked.

If Dominic could still tolerate her, it would be a miracle.

She thought of Grant, too-how he’d helped Aurelia.

“Lydia, from now on, you do exactly as I say when it comes to Grant,” she ordered suddenly.

“Huh?” Lydia looked confused, taken aback by the

sudden demand.

“If you want to be with him, you’ll obey me. Can you do that?” Lauren pressed, her tone firm.

Eleanor and Lydia exchanged a quick look.

“Do as she says,” Eleanor urged.

If Lauren could drive a wedge between Aurelia and Grant, Aurelia would lose her only ally.

They’d been waiting for this moment-for Aurelia to be truly alone.

Still dazed, Lydia nodded. “Okay. I’ll listen to you.”

“I’ll talk to Dominic now. We’re moving to Westchester County immediately,” Eleanor declared.

Now, the only Hawthorne properties left were Hawthorne Manor and Westchester County.

No matter what, she couldn’t stay here any longer.

Even though Westchester County was originally given to Aurelia by Dominic, Eleanor was determined to move there now.

That damned woman was so unbearable to live with—just being under the same roof as her made Eleanor feel like she would lose years of her life.

Eleanor was absolutely unwilling to stay with Aurelia for

another second!

Later, Eleanor found Dominic storming out of his room, his face gloomy with fury.

The wound on his abdomen wasn’t deep, no longer bleeding, but dried blood stained his shirt.

He turned to leave, but Eleanor called out to him,

“Dominic.”

He glanced back, his gaze icy.

Everyone’s patience was wearing thin-Aurelia had exhausted them all.

So, Dominic assumed Eleanor had come to complain, to

argue some more.

“What now?” he snapped, his brows furrowed.

They’d said everything there was to say.

Some problems had no solutions, and he was done wasting his energy.

“We’re moving to Westchester County,” Eleanor said. firmly.

She was tired-tired of the fighting, tired of the chaos,

tired of Aurelia.

Once, she’d dreamed of having Aurelia under her roof, where she could control and torment her.

Now, she just wanted to escape.

One minute, one second longer with Aurelia was too much.

Dominic frowned, but before he could speak, Eleanor pressed on. “I can’t live with her anymore.

“Either you take her to Westchester County, or we’re moving there without you.”

Hawthorne Manor was a symbol of the family’s legacy, yet here they were, forced to flee because of one woman.

It was humiliating, but she had no choice.

Eleanor directly gave Dominic two choices: either he took Aurelia back to Westchester County, or all three of them moved to Westchester County.

Anyway, they absolutely refused to stay cooped up with Aurelia any longer.

“Westchester County?” Dominic repeated, his voice flat.

“Yes!” Eleanor’s voice rose. “Lauren is recovering from childbirth, and Aurelia’s chaos is driving us all crazy. Don’t forget-Lauren has depression. She can’t handle

this. She’ll break down!”

WILE

The mention of it only deepened Eleanor’s worry.

She was already mentally fragile; if Aurelia kept acting gyt like this, Lauren wouldn’t be the only one driven 13:16

the edge-Aurelia would push all of them to madness!

“Westchester County is gone,” Dominic said, his voice cold and flat, cutting through Eleanor’s tirade just as her anger reached its peak.

Silence crashed down.

Eleanor stared at him, wide-eyed, as if she hadn’t heard correctly.

“What did you say?”

Gone? Did he mean destroyed?

Her heart plummeted, her breath catching in her throat. Dominic’s next words confirmed her worst fears. “You can’t move there.”

Eleanor felt lightheaded, as if the floor had vanished beneath her feet.

Westchester County was gone, too.

What kind of troublemaker had they married into the family? What kind of reckless woman had destroyed all the properties the Hawthorne family had built up?
