Chapter 246 How Much

Sure, these were small things, but using these small things to torture people who were used to luxury-that was the most agonizing part.

“You didn’t see their faces. They looked like bitter, resentful housewives,” Chloe said.

“If they could still put on happy faces right now, that would be the real shock,” Aurelia replied.

Chloe nodded. “True.”

Wasn’t the whole point to make them miserable?

However happy they’d been when they were bullying Aurelia before, that’s how much resentment they felt now facing her retaliation.

Chloe looked at Aurelia thoughtfully. “I can tell Grant treats you differently.”

When Chloe mentioned Grant, Aurelia’s eyes dimmed, and she said, “Nothing’s going to happen between us.”

Chloe froze for a second when she heard that.

She knew exactly why Aurelia felt that way. Grant and Dominic

used to be so close and now look at them.

Sure, Grant had been helping her this whole time, but after years of being worn down by Dominic, Aurelia didn’t let herself hope for anything anymore.

Chloe started to ask, “So what’s going on with you two right now-” but she didn’t finish the sentence.

Aurelia cut in, “Once I go back to Germany, it’ll all be over anyway.”

She wasn’t planning to stay in New York much longer.

Besides, the way Grant treated her now-Aurelia figured it was

all because of Sebastian.

“He’s only looking out for me because of my brother,” she said. flatly.

Chloe scoffed and said, “We’ll see about that.”

Aurelia went silent and didn’t know how to respond to that.

Chloe picked up her juice and took a sip, then said, “You’ve got your whole life ahead of you, you know.”

Aurelia’s voice dropped, and she said, “I married Dominic and I even got pregnant for him, I just-” but she couldn’t finish.

People saw her go after the Hawthorne family like she was out 2/7

for blood, all fierce and ruthless.

But the truth was, some things were still too hard for her to

face.

Chloe squeezed Aurelia’s hand and said, “Life throws all kinds of curveballs at you, and someone who truly loves you won’t care if you’ve been married before. Don’t let one asshole limit your future.”

After spending a bit more time with Aurelia, Chloe left. This was the Hawthorne Manor, after all, not her own Starlight Hill

estate.

Eleanor, Lydia, and Lauren didn’t return until over two hours later. The three of them were exhausted and looked as though they were ready to collapse.

In the living room, Aurelia sat in a lounge chair by the floor-to-ceiling windows with a book in her hands, and she looked elegant and serene. But anyone who’d experienced her tactics over the past few days knew exactly what kind of venom lurked beneath that gentle exterior.

Lauren shot Aurelia a look full of hatred, clenched her fists, and stormed upstairs without a word.

Eleanor walked up to Aurelia and asked through gritted teeth,

“Just tell me. How much money will it take for you to agree to a ‘divorce?”

She’d been asking this same question for days now. She just wanted Aurelia gone from the Hawthorne family as soon as possible.

Aurelia was too ruthless and too good at tormenting people. With Grant backing her up, she could do whatever she wanted without any fear of consequences.

They’d been planning to have Lydia seduce Grant away from her, but that would take time, and they couldn’t wait another day-not even another minute.

So if Aurelia was willing to take money and leave, no matter how much she demanded, it would be a relief for everyone in the Hawthorne family.

Aurelia heard the venom in Eleanor’s voice and closed her

book, then looked up at her with a sharp, piercing gaze that made Eleanor’s heart skip a beat.

Aurelia said coldly, “Do you really hate seeing your son happy

that much?”

Eleanor bit her tongue.

Aurelia continued, “I’m not divorcing him. Our marriage is perfectly fine.”

Her words hit Eleanor’s nerves like a slap to the face. 4/7

Her breath caught in her throat.

Fine? She actually dared to call this trainwreck of a marriage with Dominic “perfectly fine”?

Was this what fine looked like?

“I don’t want to hear it,” Eleanor said, forcing herself to stay composed even though she was running on empty. “Just tell me how much money you want.”

She was exhausted and starving, and all she wanted was to get rid of this woman and have some peace and quiet.

Aurelia raised an eyebrow. “How much money? You wouldn’t give me the five billion I asked for before.”

“Five billion? Fine. You can have it,” Eleanor said without

hesitation.

Forget five billion, she’d give her ten billion if that’s what it

took.

Over the past few days, Eleanor had learned a brutal lesson- it wasn’t scary when someone made demands, but when they stayed silent and kept you guessing, that was pure torture.

“Just take your people and get out of the Hawthorne family right now,” Eleanor said, and the words tumbled out in a rush. 577

“I’ll give you the five billion. All of it.”

She couldn’t get the offer out fast enough, terrified that if she hesitated even a second, Aurelia might change her mind.

Five billion dollars. It was an insane amount of money, but Eleanor didn’t care anymore.

She didn’t care when Aurelia would end up in prison or that the money would be useless to her then.

Right now, she just wanted Aurelia gone from Hawthorne Manor, and she wanted it immediately.

“Five billion dollars isn’t enough now,” Aurelia said.

“Then how much do you want?” Eleanor’s voice shot up. “Isn’t that enough? Don’t forget where you came from, and don’t forget what five billion dollars actually means to someone like you. You could take that money and live whatever life you want, so why waste your time here with us?”

Eleanor kept trying to persuade Aurelia.

When Aurelia said it wasn’t enough, Lydia’s heart jumped straight into her throat.

She and Lauren were already annoyed with Eleanor for making things difficult during the divorce negotiations.

Why couldn’t she just give Aurelia whatever she wanted and be done with it?

If Aurelia and Dominic had gotten divorced cleanly, she wouldn’t have any reason to come back and torture them like this.

When it came down to it, this whole mess was Eleanor’s fault for being too cheap, and now they were all paying the price.

Watching Aurelia’s attitude now, Lydia was terrified that something would go wrong.
