Chapter 241 Chicago

16 min left

On the way to the airport, Eleanor called Dominic, who was already at the office dealing with his own headache over the Aurelia situation.

He’d gone straight into a meeting as soon as he arrived, and when Eleanor’s call came through halfway in, he stepped out and answered coldly, “What is it?”

“Lauren, Lydia, and I are going to Chicago for a while, so you can deal with Aurelia on your own,” Eleanor said through gritted teeth.

She was beyond fed up with how slowly Dominic was handling things. It was taking forever, and they couldn’t stand it

anymore.

“You’re going to Chicago?” Dominic asked.

“What else are we supposed to do? Stay at the Hawthorne Manor and let her torture us to death?” Eleanor snapped. “Do you know what it’s like for us in New York right now? We can’t check into hotels, restaurants won’t let us in. She’s trying to suffocate us!”

When Eleanor thought about the cold treatment she’d gotten at the hotel and restaurant today, she lost it completely.

back, she’s already packed her bags and left the Hawthorne Manor—hell, left New York entirely. I don’t ever want to see her face again.”

Dominic stayed silent on the other end.

He listened to Eleanor’s venomous tone and was about to say something when she hung up on him.

Clearly, just mentioning Aurelia’s name was enough to set her off, and she refused to discuss it any further.

The dial tone buzzed in his ear, and Dominic felt his temples throb with frustration.

Hotels and restaurants both had turned them away.

He’d been banned from that restaurant at lunch, and now they couldn’t even check into a hotel?

She was really something.

This ruthless approach had to be Grant’s influence, didn’t it?

Eleanor headed to the airport, and Aurelia got the news almost immediately. Gareth reported everything to her, and she

smiled. 2/7

“Everything’s in place?” she asked.

“Don’t worry. No matter which route they take, they’re not getting out of New York. They’ll come crawling back before sunset.”

Aurelia nodded. “Good.”

Leaving New York? She almost laughed at the thought.

Honestly, she hadn’t seen that coming. She never expected Eleanor would try to leave in her place.

Though Lauren and Lydia probably had a hand in this little scheme, didn’t they?

“What about those vending machines and payment terminals outside? Did you handle those?” Aurelia asked.

“All taken care of. Their phones won’t process any payments.”

Right now, if Eleanor, Lydia, and Lauren wanted to eat anything outside, they’d have to resort to robbery.

The Hawthorne family stealing food-now that would be the biggest joke in all of New York.

Aurelia nodded, satisfied.

anymore. Even if they managed to leave, so what?

All of New York was just a bigger cage. They couldn’t leave the city, so escaping the manor meant nothing. They couldn’t get out of her control.

Dominic’s call came through.

His voice came through the line, seething with anger. “This is all you, isn’t it?”

Whether it was him, Eleanor, or Lydia, none of them could make any purchases outside now.

It was almost funny.

The entire Hawthorne family, blocked from spending their own money by Aurelia. They had wealth and couldn’t use a single cent of it.

“Grant gave you this much power? Tell me, what exactly are you trying to do? You’ve pushed them to the point where they have to leave New York, and you’re satisfied now?” The more Dominic spoke, the heavier his tone became.

Right now, the entire Hawthorne family looked like a complete joke in front of Aurelia.

No-she had turned the whole Hawthorne family into a

4/7 complete joke.

Aurelia raised an eyebrow. “That’s quite the accusation. So what you’re saying is, everything I’ve done lately has been. wrong, and I’m the one who pushed them to this point?”

Dominic shot back, “Isn’t that exactly what happened? Tell me, what the hell are you trying to accomplish?”

Nobody could possibly tolerate the things she’d been doing at Hawthorne Manor these past few days.

Dominic had utterly forgotten about it now. Back when Eleanor treated Aurelia terribly at Hawthorne Manor, and Aurelia no longer wanted to go there, he kept telling Aurelia not to hold grudges.

But now? Why wasn’t he telling Eleanor and the others not to hold grudges?

Aurelia asked, “What exactly did I do?”

Dominic said coldly, “Since you don’t want a divorce and you want to keep being my wife, then act like it.”

The words “act like it” hit Aurelia’s ears, and she almost laughed out loud.

Act like it? What kind of fantasy was he still living in?

Aurelia replied, “Fine. You’re absolutely right. I should act like 5/7

a proper wife to you.”

Act like it, huh? Sure. If he wanted her to act like it, then she’d act like it.

When Dominic heard her say that, he froze for a second. “What are you planning now?”

“To be a good wife, obviously. Isn’t that what you want? Or is listening to you wrong too?”

Dominic went silent. A good wife? If she’d said that before, maybe someone would’ve believed her, but now? Nobody

would believe it.

“What the hell are you really planning?” he asked, and his breathing quickened.

“You’re right,” Aurelia said. “Making your mom leave New York was wrong of me. Don’t worry. I won’t let them leave.”

Dominic’s heart stopped.
