Chapter 237 I Did It for You

A test of strength erupted between them.

18 min left

Fists clenched tightly at his sides, Dominic glared at Gareth with venom. “Let go!”

Gareth said nothing, fixing him with a cold, unyielding stare as the silent contest of wills intensified, the air thick with tension.

When Eleanor had first seen Dominic move to flip the table, a flicker of hope had lit up in her chest.

She’d thought her pent-up frustration from the morning would finally find an outlet-only to watch in disbelief as Dominic failed to budge the table an inch.

Aurelia paid the two men no mind, continuing to savor her breakfast in leisurely silence.

Steam curled up from the warm dishes, making the mouths of Lydia and Eleanor water after hours of shivering in the cold.

The crispy crunch of the pancakes as Aurelia bit into them only added to their torment.

By the time Aurelia finished her meal, the power struggle between Dominic and Gareth was still going strong.

arm across the table, sending plates and silverware crashing to the floor in a jarring clatter of breaking plates.

Everyone froze.

Dominic’s gaze snapped to Aurelia, his eyes hardening into ice by the second.

Aurelia arched an eyebrow at him, her tone laced with mockery. “Want to flip the table? No need-I did it for you. Happy now?”

The veins on Dominic’s forehead bulged with rage.

Aurelia’s smile turned sharper. “Isn’t this what you wanted? I did the work for you, and yet you look so unhappy. You’re just as impossible to please as your mother.”

The words hit like a slap in the face. Eleanor felt her vision swim with anger, while Dominic’s eyes blazed with fury.

Aurelia kicked her chair back and sauntered over to the sofa, settling into it lazily. “Gareth.”

“Ms. Sterling,” Gareth replied, his attention instantly on her.

Aurelia glanced at Dominic’s rigid back, a smirk on her face. “Since flipping the table didn’t satisfy him, go ahead and smash it to pieces.”

“Understood.” Gareth nodded.

Before Dominic could even react, Gareth shifted his hand from the tabletop to the underside. With a loud crash, he flipped the heavy dining table over in one smooth motion.

But Aurelia had said “smash it”-and smash it he would.

Gareth grabbed a wooden chair and brought it down hard on the overturned table, right in front of Eleanor and Dominic.

The dull thuds and splintering cracks echoed through the room like a tormenting din, reverberating in everyone’s hearts.

Eleanor felt as if each blow was landing directly on her own body.

“How dare you do this in my house!” she shrieked, repeating the words like a mantra, clinging to the last shred of her dignity.

No one paid her any mind-not a single person spared her a glance.

By the time Gareth finished, the dining table lay in splintered ruins, and the room was a mess of broken wood and crockery,

Looking at Dominic with a sweet smile, Aurelia asked, “Satisfied now?”

Dominic stared at her, speechless.

Eleanor pointed a trembling finger at her, her voice catching in her throat. “You… you… you…”

“Planning to curse me out?” Aurelia cut her off, her smile dropping into a cold glare. “Go ahead. But this time, the

punishment won’t be just a slap. This time, I’ll let them tear your tongue out.”

Eleanor’s mouth snapped shut.

The threats she’d been about to hurl died on her lips, swallowed back down in sheer terror.

She whirled on Dominic instead, her voice rising into a shrill scream. “Can’t you see what she’s doing? She’s humiliating me right in front of you! Are you really going to let her stay? Tell me-what’s the point of keeping this marriage alive?”

Every word was shouted at the top of her lungs, raw with desperation.

She couldn’t take another minute of this.

Dominic’s gaze locked on Aurelia, his entire body shaking with rage as he clenched his fists.

Finally, he ground out his words through gritted teeth. “I’ll have the divorce papers drawn up immediately. If you think

that’s too slow, we can head to the courthouse right now.”

Aurelia tilted her head, a faint, knowing, smile on her face. “Have you forgotten something?”

Dominic, Eleanor, and Lydia all stared at her, their eyes bulging in disbelief.

Lydia’s face paled noticeably, a flicker of panic crossing her features.

If Aurelia didn’t go, none of them would have a moment’s

peace.

A laugh rang out, clear and triumphant, as Aurelia took in the stunned, varied expressions before her. “I’m not getting a

divorce.”

Gasping sounds erupted from Lydia and Eleanor, their faces draining of color as if they might collapse right then and there.

The blood drained from Dominic’s face, leaving his skin ashen with unbridled rage.

With a sharp, angry stride, he made his way to the sofa across from Aurelia, sinking into the cushions before lighting a cigarette and taking a long, harsh drag.

“Tell me what you want. Name your price.” 5/7

Refusing a divorce, in his mind, could only mean one thing— she was holding out for more money.

“Give her whatever she wants!” Eleanor burst out, her patience completely gone.

The woman who’d once schemed to strip Aurelia of everything was now willing to hand over the world, if it meant getting rid

of her.

She couldn’t keep up this fight-not against someone like

Aurelia.

“Anything! Just name it, and it’s hers! I just want her gone!”

Aurelia was a storm no family could weather, not even the Hawthornes.

The sooner she left, the sooner they could have their lives back.

Aurelia let out a scoff at their desperation, shaking her head in amusement. “Look at the mess you’ve all made.

“I only want to be a good wife to Dominic. Why are you all so determined to force us apart?”

Eleanor let out an incredulous laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “A good wife? Have you looked in a mirror lately? Do you have any idea what you’ve done to this family in the past 5/7 two days?”

How dare she claim she wanted to be a good wife after all this?

Aurelia raised an eyebrow, feigning innocence. “What exactly did I do?”
