Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232 No One Dares to Shelter Dominic

Eventually, the alcohol overwhelmed Dominic, and he collapsed directly onto Ethan.

Ethan frowned and glanced at Lucas. “Take him back to Hawthorne Manor?”

“Don’t take him back there. Dump him in a hotel instead,” Lucas replied.

Hawthorne Manor was surely in complete chaos right now, and Dominic would definitely not want to go back.

Thinking of Aurelia, Lucas couldn’t help but admire her.

The Hawthorne family had it coming.

Despite being close to Dominic, he knew Eleanor, Lydia, and Lauren had questionable character, especially Lauren.

Only Dominic remained oblivious to the way Lauren looked at him when she worked at the company, back when Adrian was still around.

Lucas and Ethan prepared to take Dominic to a hotel, but they were in for a shock.

When they arrived and the front desk confirmed

Dominic’s identity, they handed his ID back immediately. “I’m sorry, sir. We have instructions not to accommodate Mr. Hawthorne at this time,” the receptionist said.

Lucas and Ethan stared at each other in disbelief, as if

they’d heard something absurd.

Then, Lucas turned to the receptionist. “What did you say?”

This was New York-how could a hotel refuse to host

Dominic?

Was the hotel trying to go out of business? What gave them the courage to make such a bold rule?

The receptionist smiled politely, “I apologize, but I can’t provide further explanation.”

Her smile made the refusal clear enough.

Left with no choice, Lucas and Ethan took Dominic t93:19 several other hotels, but the result was the same-refusal.

Even when they checked in with their own IDs and tried to help Dominic into the room, they were stopped at the door.

Glancing at Dominic, who had slumped back into the backseat, Ethan and Lucas were at a loss for words.

“Aurelia really pulled out all the stops to take him down this time,” Lucas said.

It was more than just “pulling out all the stops”-her efforts were extraordinary.

“So what do we do now?” Ethan asked.

“What else? Take him back to Hawthorne Manor,” Lucas

sighed.

No hotel would take Dominic.

He suspected it might not just be Dominic-perhaps the entire Hawthorne family was blacklisted.

Aurelia was truly ruthless.

Onge, the Hawthorne family had wanted her to return to

the manor just to torment her.

Now she was single-handedly tormenting the entire family, even forbidding them from staying anywhere else.

Lucas thought for a moment. “Maybe we should take Dominic to my place instead?”

“Are you sure? What if Aurelia burns your house down, too?” Ethan countered.

Lucas froze. He hadn’t considered that.

Aurelia was in the middle of her feud with the Hawthorne

family, and all their properties had already been burned to the ground.

Anyone daring to shelter a Hawthorne might end up with their house burned down, too, given Aurelia’s current state of mind.

The thought sent a shiver down Lucas’ spine.

“Forget it. Let’s just take him back to Hawthorne Manor,” he said.

facing Aurelia’s wrath.

It would be asking for trouble.

After a quick discussion, Ethan and Lucas finally decided to take Dominic back to Hawthorne Manor.

Meanwhile, Eleanor had wandered down to the kitchen,

starving.

She’d only had one meal all day.

To her frustration, the men Aurelia had brought were taking shifts-even at night, someone was guarding the kitchen door.

“This is my house! Am I not allowed to eat something?” Eleanor snapped at the servant at the door.

One of the servants shot her a sharp glance. “I’m sorry, ma’am. Ms. Sterling is a light sleeper at night, and eating would wake her.”

Eleanor was dumbfounded.

Alight sleeper?

That is ridiculous!

Aurelia was probably the only one sleeping soundly in the entire manor right now.

“Then what am I supposed to do if I’m hungry?” Eleanor gritted her teeth.

She’d never had a habit of eating late at night, but the day’s torment had left her starving.

The servant turned, walked into the kitchen, and returned with a box of instant mac and cheese, handing it to Eleanor.

Eleanor’s eyes widened in shock when she saw it. “What is this?”

She never ate such things.

“Eat it outside,” the servant said flatly.

Eleanor was so angry she nearly fainted.

Not only were they giving her instant mac and cheese, but

they

were telling her to eat it outside?

Where? On the ground?

“How much noise could I possibly make eating?” she protested.

“If you keep lingering here and arguing, we’ll have to take you outside to continue,” the servant replied, her meaning clear.

If Eleanor kept making a fuss, they wouldn’t hesitate to drag her out to avoid waking Aurelia.

Eleanor had never felt such humiliation.

No one had ever dared to treat her this way before— restricting her in her own home and forcing her to eat cheap instant food outside.

“Are you going to eat it or not?” the servant asked.

Eleanor wanted to hurl the box of instant mac and cheese to the floor, but she was too hungry.

Reluctantly, she took it.

She intended to eat it in the dining room, but the blonde9

servant stopped her.

“If you’re not willing to eat outside, then don’t eat at all,” she said, reaching for the box.

“Fine! I’ll go outside!” Eleanor snapped, dodging the servant’s hand.

She wanted nothing more than to kill Aurelia right now.

This was her home-she’d never endured such hunger or

humiliation before.

Aurelia had completely taken over, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Fuming, Eleanor turned and walked outside.

She hadn’t put on an extra coat when she’d come down, and the chilly sea breeze hit her immediately, making her shiver violently.

She didn’t want to go back for a coat, though-she just wanted to eat quickly and get inside.

However, she’d barely taken her first bite when Lucas and Ethan arrived with Dominic.

Seeing them, Eleanor felt a surge of embarrassment, ast if her pride had been laid bare. She’d never wanted the younger generation to see her in such a sorry state.

Ethan and Lucas were equally stunned by the sight of her.

“Mrs. Hawthorne, you…” Lucas trailed off, unable to hide his surprise.

Eleanor forced an awkward smile, quickly putting down the instant mac and cheese and standing up. “What are you doing here?”

Her voice was unsteady.

As someone of status, she’d never wanted to be seen in such a pitiful condition.

At that moment, Eleanor cursed Aurelia bitterly in her heart.

It was all her fault-this senseless chaos had made her a laughingstock.
