“How the hell would I know? Stop asking me, okay?” Eleanor’s frustration boiled over, and she practically shouted the words.

Lydia went silent.“

Did Aurelia hate the Hawthorne family?

If everything Aurelia was doing to the Hawthorne family right now came from hatred, then what did that mean for their future? Would things only get worse from here?

Lydia’s breathing quickened as she looked at Eleanor.

Eleanor closed her eyes and let out a sharp breath. “Damn it. Why does she hate us? Why?”

Eleanor felt like she was losing her mind. She needed to know why Aurelia hated the Hawthorne family so much.

If she could figure out the reason behind that hatred, maybe she could find a way to undo it. Perhaps it would be easier to fix things if she just understood.

She had to resolve Aurelia’s hatred somehow.

All these years in the Hawthorne family, Eleanor had never wagted to solve any problems. She’d avoided conflict and kepto her head down

restrictions-it felt incredible.

“Gareth told me they tried to poison you,” Sebastian said, and his tone carried an unmistakable edge of danger.

Aurelia glanced at, Gareth, who bowed his head respectfully.

“Don’t worry, there’s no way that poison’s getting anywhere near my mouth. They wouldn’t dare try again,” she said.

She’d seen how terrified Eleanor looked today, her face so pale.

That poison was clearly lethal.

She’d almost forced it into Dominic’s mouth, so Eleanor would definitely think twice before pulling something like that again.

“Don’t be too merciful,” Sebastian warned.

“Did Gareth tell you I was being merciful?” Aurelia asked.

“Not exactly.”

Mercy wasn’t something Aurelia had in her anymore.

This was nothing. This was just the beginning.

But even this beginning had already turned the entire Hawthorne family upside down.

They couldn’t handle it.

And Dominic couldn’t handle it either, which was why he kept bringing up divorce.

Too bad for him, when she’d wanted a divorce before, he’d

refused.

So now, he could just suffer a little longer.

Sebastian’s voice came through the phone, warm and familiar. “Come home soon. Father really misses you.”

“I know,” Aurelia said softly. “I miss you all too. Especially

you.”

When she said those last two words, a tender smile curved across her lips.

Eleanor and Lydia were coming down the stairs right at that moment, and they caught the tail end of Aurelia’s confession -especially you. Eleanor immediately shot her arm out and stopped Lydia from going any further.

Both women held their breath and lightened their steps, straining to listen.

Sebastian spoke again, his tone more serious now. “What about Grant? What are you thinking there?”

“Grant?” Aurelia’s voice carried a note of finality. “Nothing’s going to happen between us.”

She knew Grant had been helping her these past few weeks, and she’d felt that invisible wall between them growing thicker with each passing day. But neither of them had addressed it directly.

Before now, Aurelia hadn’t felt like she could say anything about it.

But she had mentioned she was going back to Germany.

The message was clear enough. Grant would understand what that meant.

Sebastian let out a breath. “You’re really—” He paused,

seeming to reconsider his words. “He’s going to be hurt when he hears this.”

Something twisted in Aurelia’s chest at those words, but she pushed the feeling aside. “Okay, I’m hanging up now. I’ll come to Germany as soon as I finish handling things here.”

“Alright. I’ll be waiting.” The call ended, and Aurelia set her phone down, returning her attention to her book.

Meanwhile, Eleanor and Lydia stood frozen on the landing halfway up the stairs, hidden around the corner. They 5/8 exchanged a look, and the shock in their eyes was

unmistakable.

Eleanor closed her eyes for a moment, and Lydia asked, “Are you still going to ask her?”

“Yeah, I have to,” Eleanor said.

Eleanor pulled herself together and headed downstairs with Lydia right behind her.

When Aurelia heard them coming, she didn’t even bother to look up.

Eleanor walked straight over and sat down across from her, and only then did Aurelia glance at her with a sideways look.

Over the past few days, Aurelia had rarely shown that vicious look in her eyes.

Like right now, her eyes held a hint of amusement.

But Eleanor knew exactly what kind of cruel heart was hiding behind that smiling gaze.

She wasn’t afraid when Aurelia went hysterical.

What scared her was when Aurelia smiled.

That was something Eleanor had learned the hard way these

6/8 past few days.

“Do you hate me?” Eleanor asked her directly.

At this point, Aurelia had pushed her so far that she didn’t have the energy for subtle approaches anymore.

She could sense the intense hatred lurking beneath Aurelia’s smiling eyes.

And because of that hatred, she just wanted to know why-so she could fix this problem at its root.

When Eleanor said that, Aurelia raised an eyebrow and said,

“Hate?”

“Yes, I can tell you hate me. You really hate me,” Eleanor said.

When she said “really hate me,” her tone was absolutely

certain.

Aurelia laughed out loud and said, “Oh, so you do know how hateful you are?”

Eleanor went silent.

Lydia went silent too.

When they heard Aurelia say that, their hearts dropped even

harder.
