Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260 Benefit

Aurelia closed her book and looked up at Eleanor, and her smile deepened. “You’ve done plenty of horrible things before, haven’t you?”

Her tone was light, almost casual.

But every word hit Eleanor like a blade straight to the heart.

If what happened upstairs earlier had just been a suspicion, then now, facing that smile on Aurelia’s face, Eleanor knew for sure. She really did hate her.

Eleanor felt it with absolute certainty now.

“Why?” Eleanor’s voice came out strangled.

Aurelia let out a sneer. “Why? I’d like to know that too. Why the hell did you do it?”

Could people really become that ruthless when their interests were at stake?

Eleanor said nothing.

“You sleep pretty soundly every night, don’t you?” Aurelia said.

Eyer since she’d married Dominic, she’d noticed that Eleanor 20

Of course, that had changed recently. Under Aurelia’s torment, Eleanor hadn’t been having many peaceful days.

But before that, she’d always slept like a baby, out cold until morning.

How could she sleep at all?

Eleanor’s breathing quickened. “Just tell me why,” she demanded. She didn’t want to hear any of this right now. She just needed to know the reason.

“Why?” Aurelia repeated, and then she laughed again.

Eleanor stared at her, tension radiating from every inch of her body.

Even Gareth turned to look at Aurelia now.

But Aurelia didn’t continue. “You’ve done so many horrible things over the years,” she said instead. “Isn’t it perfectly normal for me to hate you?”

Eleanor couldn’t respond.

“When Lauren set up that scheme to kill my baby, you knew about it too, didn’t you?” Aurelia asked.

Eleanor’s eyes widened.

The moment she heard those words, her face went ashen.

Watching Eleanor’s face shift, Aurelia understood everything.

Eleanor definitely knew, and after managing the Hawthorne family for so many years, how could she not see each person for who they really were?

To put it bluntly, she treated Lauren well not because Lauren was sweet and obedient, but because of what she could gain from it.

Benefits. Interests. Advantages.

For the sake of profit, Eleanor had stayed cold and indifferent even when lives were at stake, and now with her own grandson, she was willing to turn a blind eye to Lauren’s methods.

“That alone is enough for me to hate you, isn’t it?” Aurelia said.

“No,” Eleanor responded without hesitation, “you wouldn’t hate me just because of that.”

She’d already discussed this with Lydia upstairs earlier and knew it couldn’t be the real reason.

If Aurelia hated her because of those things, she wouldn’t have waited until now to strike back, so there had to be something

else. 3/6

Aurelia smiled at her but said nothing.

Eleanor watched as the smile in Aurelia’s eyes slowly transformed into something bloodthirsty.

That look made Eleanor’s heart race with unease.

It felt like at any moment, Aurelia might grab the fruit knife from the coffee table and drive it straight into her.

Under that suffocating pressure, Eleanor couldn’t stay any longer, so she stood up abruptly and rushed upstairs in a panic.

She felt like she couldn’t breathe.

Aurelia’s eyes had never held such danger before.

Lydia saw Eleanor heading upstairs and quickly followed her.

Even after they got back to the room and shut the door, Eleanor’s heart was still pounding. Lydia watched her friend, who looked pretty shaken up.

Lydia asked, “Why’d you leave? She didn’t even tell us why yet.”

“Couldn’t you tell? She’s never gonna say,” Eleanor said.

Eleanor clenched her jaw, and her heart still wouldn’t calm 4/6

down.

Lydia said, “Maybe there’s no reason? Maybe she doem’t actually hate you?”

“No, there’s definitely something, I know there is,” Eleanor said.

When they went downstairs earlier, Aurelia didn’t say

anything, but Eleanor saw the look in her eyes and just knew. Something made Aurelia hate her-no, Aurelia hated the entire Hawthorne family.

She came back for revenge against all of them.

Lydia hadn’t picked up on any of that, so she was confused when Eleanor said this.

“Are you sure there’s really something?” Lydia asked.

Eleanor nodded. “I’m positive. There has to be.”

“Should we get Dominic to look into it?” Lydia suggested.

“Yeah, I’ll call him,” Eleanor said.

They needed Dominic to investigate this.

“Did you hear what she said earlier? About going to Germany?”

Eleanor looked at Lydia.

Lydia nodded. “Yeah, I heard.”

Just thinking about what Aurelia said on that phone call made Lydia’s face go pale with anger.

“And she said she and Grant won’t have anything between them, right?” Eleanor said.

“Yeah, that’s what she said,” Lydia confirmed.

Lydia nodded through gritted teeth and asked, “But what’s she getting at?”

“What’s she getting at? Isn’t it obvious? She used Grant to

deal with us, and now she’s got someone even better lined up,” Eleanor said.

Thinking back to what Aurelia had just said, Eleanor felt her blood boil.

So she had another man waiting for her?
