Eleanor’s voice came through the phone, sharp and frantic,

“Dominic, ask Aurelia what the hell she’s doing! Does she really want to drive Lauren to death before she’s satisfied? Tell her this—if anything happens to Lauren, she won’t survive it either!”

Eleanor’s voice cracked, her anger bleeding into pure panie,

Dominic glanced over at Aurelia, who sat casually on the couch, her expression unreadable.

Even though they were at opposite ends of the room, the quiet office made it impossible for Aurelia to miss Eleanor’s screams blasting from the speaker.

Aurelia met his gaze, a small smile curling on her lips as she shrugged nonchalantly.

Dominic’s jaw clenched so hard it hurt.

“You–you need to come here right now! Lauren, she’s-” Eleanor’s voice cracked again. “Lauren, no! Don’t do this!”

Her words broke off abruptly.

Something was happening on the other end of the call, and her voice twisted from fury to terror.

Then, the line went dead.

Dominic unlocked his phone, scrolling through social media, his expression darkening with every post.

His temper finally snapped.

With a growl, he flung his phone across the room. It hit the carpet with a sharp bang.

The phone bounced off the carpet, clipping Aurelia’s knee.

Her skirt shifted above her knee from the impact.

The moment the phone hit the floor, the temperature in the office seemed to drop.

Dominic stood and walked over to her, his long strides deliberate and menacing. He sat down across from Aurelia, his gaze icy.

He didn’t speak, but the look in his eyes was clear he was absolutely furious.

Silence stretched between them.

Aurelia finally looked down at her knee, the skin reddened from the impact.

Then she stood, walked over to the phone, and kicked it hard toward the wall.

It hit with a sickening bang, and the screen shattered, cracking violently.

The tension in the office was palpable, thick enough to suffocate.

Dominic’s anger simmered, growing with every passing second.

Aurelia leaned back on the couch, her eyes cold as they locked

onto his.

This was who she was now.

No matter how furious Dominic got, she’d meet him with equal

fire.

Since neither of them wanted this life anymore, why not burn it all down?

Dominic’s fury finally snapped.

“What’s the point of forging a miscarriage report and leaking it?”

The word “forging” made the coldness in Aurelia’s eyes

razor–sharp. 3/7

“One trap after another. Are you trying to make sure she never shakes that homewrecker label off?”

The marriage certificate and divorce papers scandal hadn’t even cooled off, and now the surgical report from her miscarriage two days ago was all over the media.

Aurelia really knew how to chain public opinion together. Each new revelation pressed Lauren down harder.

They had no power left to turn the tide.

Even if they somehow suppressed the rumors, Lauren would be stuck with the homewrecker label for life.

Aurelia didn’t say a word, just stared at him, calm and unfazed.

“Aurelia, you were never someone who pushed so aggressively before. What’s changed? Did Chloe teach you this? Or is it because you’ve got Grant backing you up now?”

Aurelia’s gaze turned hard, her voice sharp.

“Wow. So, you think I didn’t fight back before because I didn’t have any support? Have you ever given me any backing?”

When a woman’s got no one in her corner, she swallows her pride and backs down.

But once she’s got the right backing, every strike is aimed

straight for the jugular.

And right now, she was ready to tear everything apart.

This time, Dominic went quiet.

Aurelia met his gaze, her voice biting.

“Don’t you think this is just… hilarious?”

“You’re my husband, yet you give all your support to Lauren. And you let her use it to trample on me—over and over.”

For the last six months, Lauren’s malicious behavior toward her had been obvious, but it wasn’t just the support of Marilyn and the whole Hawthorne family.

The real cause? Dominic.

Dominic’s hands clenched, his body radiating a cold, intimidating pressure.

“How could she trample on you?” He said it like it was nothing. “Stop overthinking, okay?”

Aurelia fell silent.

Yeah. How could Lauren…

I’m just overthinking, huh?

Her gaze hardened, and she finally turned away. She wouldn’t waste any more breath on him.

They’d been through this fight countless times over the last six months, always the same outcome. His attitude hadn’t changed.

She had thought maybe—just maybe he’d finally woken up when he snapped at Eleanor earlier.

But no. He wasn’t waking up. He was just tired of Lauren’s supposed “depression.”

Someone like him, raised in privilege his whole life, had reached his breaking point after six months of indulging Lauren’s constant drama.

But even now, even after all that, he still refused to see Lauren for what she really was. In his eyes, she was still innocent–just

sick.

As Aurelia’s dark gaze bore into him, Dominic’s breath caught. His anger swelled inside him, but he forced it down, his voice deliberately calm.

“Lauren’s been busy with company matters. She-”

“So all along, I’ve just been unreasonably making trouble, huh? Wrongly accusing her?”

Dominic didn’t respond.
