Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Help Me

Ray said, “Mrs. Drake’s situation isn’t resolved yet, and didn’t she message you before? She said if things get too hard, you should back down with Aurelia.”

Lauren went quiet.

Hearing this made Lauren’s heart sink.

She thought about the message Marilyn sent her, and right now, that bad feeling in her chest kept growing stronger and stronger.

“So you’re saying my mom’s problems really aren’t fixed yet?”

Marilyn would never use words like “back down” unless things were serious.

If Marilyn was saying something like that now, it meant things were probably way worse than she thought.

Ray answered, “Yeah.”

“Can she handle it though?” Lauren’s voice came out 20:58

rushed and anxious.

What she cared about most right now was whether this mess could actually be fixed.

When Lauren asked that question, Ray went completely

silent on the other end.

His silence made her panic even more.

“Is it that bad?” She tried asking differently.

This time, Ray answered her with just one word, “Yeah.”

That single word made Lauren’s whole body go weak.

Lauren didn’t even know how she managed to hang up on Ray. She couldn’t calm down, and the minutes just kept ticking by.

This was bad.

Over the years, Marilyn had handled everything that came her way. Nothing was ever too difficult for her, and every problem seemed to disappear the moment she touched it.

When had she ever needed this much time to deal with

something?

And now Lauren couldn’t even get through to her.

Lauren took a deep breath.

She said, “Kellen.”

Kellen’s expression was grim.

This wasn’t good news for either of them.

Kellen stepped forward. “Yes, Ms. Drake.”

“Forget it. I’ll call Samuel myself.”

Lauren’s thoughts were getting clearer by the second, and she knew what she had to do. She had to leave New York. Now.

Marilyn couldn’t handle her own mess.

If Lauren stayed in New York any longer, Aurelia was going to crush her completely.

She couldn’t live like this anymore. She just wanted out.

Kellen panicked the second she heard Lauren mention calling Samuel. “Ms. Drake, you can’t do that.”

They couldn’t let anything slip before Aurelia walked into their trap.

No one could know about Lauren’s connection to Samuel.

Lauren glared at her. “Then what am I supposed to do? Just stay here at Hawthorne Manor and let that bitch Aurelia keep me trapped?”

Lauren was losing it altogether.

She couldn’t wait anymore, and she wanted to leave New York immediately.

Dominic couldn’t even handle Aurelia, so what was she still doing here with the Hawthorne family?

She thought Dominic would be better than Adrian.

But it turned out Dominic was just as useless, and he

couldn’t even control one woman.

Lauren ignored Kellen’s protests and grabbed her phone to call Samuel.

Kellen realized she couldn’t stop her, so she rushed to the door and opened it to check outside.

She stepped into the hallway and kept watch.

Hawthorne Manor was crawling with Aurelia’s people now, and she was terrified someone might overhear them.

Samuel picked up. “Lauren.” His voice came through warm and gentle.

But something calculating lurked underneath it, and Lauren was too worked up to notice.

“I need to leave New York,” she told Samuel directly.

“Now?”

“Yes, you need to help me figure this out. I have to leave New York immediately.”

Lauren’s words came out through clenched teeth.

Samuel paused when he heard how determined she

sounded.

Then his voice softened. “Baby, you’re forgetting something. We still have a child in the hospital.”

Lauren went silent.

The word “child” hit her like a sledgehammer to the skull.

Her head started buzzing instantly.

“We already lost one daughter,” Samuel continued. “Only the Hawthorne family has the connections to bring in James. You forgot about that?”

Dominic had people searching for James everywhere.

Lauren couldn’t respond.

When she thought about her poor son, the fury burning in her chest gave way to a sharp ache of pain.
