Chapter 267 Pull Out
“So you’re telling me you went all the way there for nothing? You didn’t get a single piece of information out of her?” Dominic asked.
“Nothing,” Lucas admitted.
Dominic fell silent. His expression darkened considerably.
When he’d sent Lucas to talk to Aurelia, he hadn’t actually expected him to change her mind. The real goal had been to extract information from her-to understand what was truly happening. He couldn’t solve a problem without knowing its root cause.
Lucas caught the implication in Dominic’s tone and sighed. “Back when you could’ve handled things between. them properly, you never bothered to try. Now you suddenly want to fix it?”
Dominic said nothing. He was already dealing with enough chaos, and Lucas’ words only made his mood worse. His head throbbed.

Frustrated, he ended the call abruptly.
Jason walked over and placed a file on the desk. His face was grim. “This is the last overseas project. Now it’s
also…”
He trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished.
Jason knew how much effort Dominic had invested in his international ventures over the years. And now it was all gone. Everything Dominic had built abroad had burst like a bubble and vanished.
Dominic’s eyes narrowed. “Get the car/ready. I’m going to Fletcher Group.”
So Grant really was determined to destroy him completely.
Dominic let out a sneer. Years of friendship, shattered entirely because of one woman.
Grant!

Lucas had just gotten back to the company when his assistant told him Ethan was already waiting for him.
Lucas strode toward his office. Ethan was drinking his coffee-the new batch that had arrived this year. Lucas might be the most unpredictable one in their circle, but when it came to coffee, his taste was surprisingly refined.
Ethan set down his cup when he saw Lucas walk in. “What kind of hobby is this? You’re too young to be drinking something this bitter.”
“You wouldn’t get it,” Lucas said.
What was he supposed to do, drink those vegetable juices instead? He couldn’t stand them. Every time he visited. Ethan or Dominic, they’d make him some fresh-pressed vegetable concoction. The taste was awful-bitter and grassy. Coffee was so much better.
Lucas loosened his tie and dropped into the chair across from Ethan.
“Where were you?” Ethan asked.

out on business trips. It was rare for him to leave during
work hours.
Lucas lit a cigarette. “I went to see Aurelia.”
Ethan paused. Just hearing Aurelia’s name gave him a headache. “Did Dominic send you?”
Dominic had been a complete mess lately because of Aurelia, and it was affecting everything at the company.
They also still had ongoing collaborations with the Hawthorne Group. With Aurelia stirring up trouble, it was impacting their side one way or another.
Lucas took a drag from his cigarette and let out a noncommittal hum. His voice carried an edge of impatience.
Ethan leaned forward. “So what did Aurelia say?”
“She won’t divorce him.”
Ethan fell silent. If this were the old Dominic, the one who’d fought tooth and nail against the divorce, this yould’ve been great news.

But now Dominic was dead set on ending the marriage.
“These two are ridiculous,” Ethan said. “First Dominic wouldn’t let go, and now she’s the one refusing. It’s like they’re playing some twisted game.”
The whole thing felt like a farce, except everyone could see the anger and hatred simmering beneath the surface.
Aurelia’s attacks on Hawthorne Group weren’t just business moves anymore. There was real venom behind them.
From yesterday to now, they’d all noticed the shift. She’d gotten ruthless, way more than before.
Lucas stubbed out his cigarette. “You need to pull out of your partnerships with Hawthorne Group. The sooner, the better.”
Ethan had just raised his coffee cup to his lips, but Lucas’ words made him freeze mid-motion.
He looked up and caught something flash in Lucas’ eyes- something dark and resigned.

“What happened?” Ethan asked.
Lucas was the type of guy who knew how to work a room and keep everyone happy. He had a reputation for being smooth in both business and personal relationships.
But more than that, he valued loyalty above everything else. Over the years, whenever his friends needed something, Lucas never said no. Not once.
So this whole situation? It felt like a knife in the back.
Ethan couldn’t hide the contempt in his voice. “What are you doing, man? Grant and Dominic are going at it, and you’re gonna stab Dominic in the back?”
He shook his head. “That’s pretty low, don’t you think?”
But then Ethan stopped himself. Lucas wasn’t that kind of person. Something didn’t add up. “Do you know something I don’t?” Ethan asked.
“Hawthorne Group isn’t going to make it through this,” Lucas said quietly.

Ethan’s heart dropped. He stared at Lucas, speechless.
Not going to make it? No way. That couldn’t be right.
“Does Grant really like Aurelia that much?” Ethan’s voice came out shaky.
Lucas said nothing at first.
Did Grant like Aurelia?
