Chapter 289 Go on Forever
+4 Bonus
Seeing Aurelia remain so cold and unmoved regarding Lydia, Dominic finally accepted there was nothing he could do about it with her.
He shifted his focus back to the German.
Dominic desperately wanted to know exactly who from the Smith Group it was.
Before Aurelia could speak, Dominic added, “But let me remind you, middle managers at Smith Group don’t count for much. The only one who truly calls the shots there is Sebastian.
“So, tell your new friend to be careful. Given what you’ve been doing lately, if Sebastian finds out about him, he probably won’t have a chance to make waves anymore.”
Aurelia asked, “Is that a threat?”
“No, it’s a reminder. You should always leave some room for decency,” Dominic said darkly.
Aurelia let out a light laugh. “I appreciate your concern. But since I dared to do all this to the lawthorne family, I clearly have no intention of leaving any room.”
Leaving some room for decency?

That was advice the Hawthorne family should have taken
themselves.

If they had known to leave some room, things would never have come to this.
Aurelia took a final sip of her tonic soup and set down the spoon.
She then said, “As for that quack doctor’s advice about Lydia, don’t take it too seriously. It’s just a cold. All that talk about ‘needing proper nutrition’ is nonsense.”
With that, Aurelia stood up.
Gareth promptly handed her a coat-it seemed she was heading
out.
Dominic was so angry he could feel a vein throbbing in his temple, but he was utterly powerless against Aurelia.
Just as he was about to head upstairs, Jason called.
He said he was waiting outside; Dominic needed to get to the office immediately.
Now, just hearing the word “office” gave Dominic a sense of dread.
Since taking over Hawthorne Group, he had never encountered

a situation like this-never faced something he couldn’t handle until now.
Walking to the Hawthorne Manor gates, he saw Aurelia’s car driving away, which only made his fury burn hotter.
He pulled out his phone and called Lucas.
The line rang several times before Lucas answered, “Dominic.”
“Come pick me up,” Dominic stated.
This is insane.
Walking out of here took about forty minutes if he hurried, and over an hour if he didn’t.
That meant wasting the entire morning just walking.
Whose twisted idea was it to torment them with these childish, maddening tactics?
On the other end, Lucas paused, then said, “Huh? Did Aurelia burn your car, too?”
Dominic gritted his teeth.
Damn it, so infuriating.
“My car can’t get back to the Hawthorne Manor right now,” he

said.
Lucas fell silent.
Aurelia’s methods of torment seemed insignificant, even mild.
Yet, precisely because of that, they were utterly aggravating.
If the Hawthorne family had to go out several times a day, wouldn’t they be exhausted? Their legs would give out.
“Alright, wait for me,” Lucas finally said.
They were, after all, friends of many years.
Despite some recent friction, Lucas couldn’t just refuse.
After hanging up, Dominic started walking.
Lucas would get here quickly-twenty minutes at most.
However, after walking for over ten minutes, his phone rang.
It was Lucas. “Dominic, I can’t get in either.”
Dominic’s breath hitched.
Lucas continued, disbelief in his voice, “Aurelia’s ruthless. Now she won’t even let my car through.”

Aurelia had texted Lucas they could “always be friends,” and now she blocked the road.
Ruthless. Absolutely ruthless.
Was she now targeting anyone who might potentially help the Hawthorne family?
She really wasn’t going to give the family a single chance at a peaceful day.
Dominic’s breathing grew ragged with anger.
He hung up on Lucas and dialed Aurelia’s number directly.
She wasn’t blocking his calls anymore-which, ironically, was even more infuriating than when she had.
The call connected. Dominic growled into the phone, “Why can’t Lucas’ car enter the Hawthorne Manor either?”
Aurelia sneered, “If he were coming to see me, of course, he’d be allowed in. But since he’s coming to pick you up, then no.”
Dominic snapped, “Don’t you think this is childish?”
She is driving me crazy.
Aurelia replied coolly, “Then you’d better enjoy my childishness.”

At that moment, Dominic was so furious that he wanted to smash his phone.

But then he remembered his funds were frozen-if he broke it,
he couldn’t even buy a new one.
What a torment.
“I want a divorce,” Dominic said with more conviction than Aurelia ever had when she’d said them.
Aurelia’s reply was flat. “No.”
Dominic was taken aback.
Damn it. She’s insane.
“Then tell me,
how long is this going to last? How long are you
going to keep this up?” he asked.
Aurelia said, “I don’t know.”
Dominic froze for a moment.
What?
She didn’t even know? Meaning this could go on forever?
