Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Greedy

“What’s the point of us going on like this? Tell me, how far are you planning to take this revenge? What’s it going to take for you to agree to a divorce?” Dominic bit down hard on the word ‘divorce’ at the end.

Before, he probably never imagined there’d come a day when he’d want a divorce more than Aurelia did.

Watching her tear apart the entire Hawthorne family like this, all he wanted now was a divorce.

“Weren’t you the one who refused to divorce me before? I’m just doing what you wanted, so why do you look so pissed off about it now?” Aurelia said.

Back when Aurelia kept asking for a divorce, Dominic wouldn’t agree to it no matter what she said.

Now he was suddenly in such a rush.

Weren’t these privileged heirs always the type who never bothered to see things from anyone else’s perspective?

So what happened? Now that someone had him cornered and he couldn’t get his way, he couldn’t handle it anymore?

Dominic took two hard drags from his cigarette and gound put

“The entire Hawthorne Group, and this manor.”

Dominic’s eyes went wide. The entire Hawthorne Group and the manor?

The silence stretched between them.

When Dominic looked at Aurelia again, his gaze had turned ice cold.

“You want the entire Hawthorne Group and the manor?” he asked.

“Will you give it to me?” Aurelia shot back.

Dominic said nothing.

The Hawthorne Group plus the manor-she might as well just say she wanted to bleed the entire Hawthorne family dry.

Dominic’s lips pressed into a thin line, and his cold stare bored into Aurelia.

“What I’m asking for isn’t much,” Aurelia said.

Everyone knew what kind of dirty methods the Hawthorne Group had used to build their empire. If they’d risen through underhanded means, then losing it all would be nothing more than what they deserved. 2/7

Dominic shot to his feet and kicked the dining chair over with a loud crash, then turned and walked out without another word.

Aurelia watched the chair clatter to the floor, and a smile tugged at her lips.

The front door slammed shut, and seconds later, an engine roared to life. Dominic was gone.

Aurelia’s smile widened. “What the hell is this guy made of? He’s stubborn as a rock.”

That kick should’ve hurt, but his leg seemed perfectly fine.

Dominic was absolutely losing his mind.

There was no way in hell he was handing over the entire Hawthorne Group to Aurelia.

He probably never expected Aurelia to be so greedy and demand everything.

How was this any different from asking him to leave with nothing?

Gareth looked at Aurelia and said, “Ms. Smith, you’re making demands they’ll never agree to.”

“That’s fine. I can wait,” Aurelia said.

She had the upper hand right now, so she had nothing to worry about.

The ones who should be anxious and worried were the

Hawthornes.

“Even if I can’t have the Hawthorne Group, I’ll make sure to destroy it,” Aurelia said coldly.

Gareth sighed and said, “At this point, there’s no difference between that and destroying it.”

Everything the Hawthorne Group had overseas was completely blocked by Sebastian’s side now.

Here in New York, the Hawthorne Group was all the Hawthorne family had left.

Aurelia glanced at Gareth and said, “I won’t leave them even a speck of dust.”

Gareth stayed silent.

Damn, she was ruthless.

But then again, as a member of the Smith family, she couldn’t afford to be too soft or kind sometimes.

Upstairs, Eleanor, Lydia, and Lauren were all dizzy from hunger.

After Kellen arrived, Lauren locked Eleanor and Lydia out of

the room.

Eleanor was furious and went back to her current room with

Lydia.

“What’s Lauren’s problem now? Is she seriously trying to pick a fight with me?” Eleanor snapped.

Lydia said, “Of course she has a problem-she just had a baby.”

“I’m not the one starving her on purpose, so what’s she got to complain about?” Eleanor shot back.

Lydia stared at her, speechless.

Sure, it wasn’t like Eleanor was deliberately trying to hurt

Lauren.

But their current situation? It was all because of how Eleanor

had treated Aurelia before.

Eleanor had looked down on Aurelia first, and now the entire family was paying the price,

Lydia said, “If we’d known, we shouldn’t have treated her that 5/7

way.”

Eleanor’s face darkened the moment she heard that.

What did she mean by “if we’d known”? Like they were the ones who’d done something wrong?

Eleanor let out a scoff and said, “Call Rachel.”

It was like she’d only just remembered Rachel existed.

If anyone in the Hawthorne family had gotten along with Aurelia, it was Rachel.

When everyone else looked down on Aurelia, Rachel had always been kind to her.

Lydia blinked at the reminder and finally remembered Rachel, too. Honestly, Rachel had such a low presence in this family that it was almost impressive.

It was probably because of her cold personality. She just wasn’t likable.

Now, hearing that she was supposed to call Rachel, Lydia muttered, “Why do I need to call her?”

Every conversation with Rachel turned into a lecture.

fhat was why she didn’t like her.

Eleanor said, “Haven’t you noticed? Everyone in the Hawthorne family had their houses burned down, but we haven’t heard a single thing from Rachel’s side.”

Which meant Rachel’s house was still standing.

Eleanor’s message was crystal clear. She couldn’t take this anymore and needed to get out.

Maybe she should just go stay with Rachel instead.

Lydia caught on to what Eleanor was suggesting and pulled a face. “Mom, you’re forgetting something. Rachel’s place is a tiny one-bedroom apartment.”

It was barely big enough for one person, let alone adding more people when there wasn’t even a spare room.

Eleanor fell silent, and her face went pale when she realized the problem.
