Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her
Chapter 49 Not for Lauren
She couldn’t picture Grant pulling something this dirty.
His relationship with Dominic had always been rock solid- they’d been tight for years.
“Don’t worry. After all these years, what kind of man haven’t I dealt with?” Marilyn sneered.
In her opinion, there was no way Grant was helping Aurelia because he had feelings for her.
“Just wait for some good news from Eleanor.”
This time, she wasn’t going to give Eleanor any face.
A pissed–off Eleanor would definitely find a way to kick Aurelia out of the Hawthorne family.
Didn’t Aurelia want a divorce? Well, hopefully that was what she really wanted…
Otherwise, if she wanted to stay in the Hawthorne family, her life would be like getting roasted alive over an open flame!
“This time, Aurelia’s gonna have to divorce whether she wants to or not,” Marilyn declared viciously.

frustration she’d been carrying for days.

Just as Marilyn had predicted.
After being humiliated by her, Eleanor wasted no time. The moment she left the hospital, she started hunting down Aurelia.
When she learned Aurelia was at Oakridge Estate, she ordered the driver to head there immediately.
In the car, Lydia couldn’t help complaining.
“That Mrs. Drake was completely out of line earlier. It’s not like you don’t want to take good care of Lauren.”
“If I were in her shoes, I’d be out of line too,” Eleanor snapped.
Then her voice turned venomous,
“I really underestimated that little bitch. She actually had the nerve to burn down Emerald Bay Residences.”
She let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “Is there anything she wouldn’t dare do?”
She was seething, 2/8

By the time the car pulled into Oakridge Estate, Eleanor was furious. She stepped out with an aura so cold it felt lethal.

Aurelia was trying to kick Dominic out of bed, but the shameless man was clinging to her.
After everything that happened today, he still wanted to sleep holding her!
Frustrated, Aurelia kicked him several times.
“Get out!”
Dominic replied, “Stop messing around. Time to sleep.”
There was irritation in his voice, but he showed no intention of letting go of Aurelia.
Right now, Dominic seemed like he’d reached his limit with her drama.
It was like he’d given up on Aurelia’s outbursts, and now, to prevent any more chaos tomorrow, he was determined to keep an eye on her.
Aurelia struggled, but the physical strength difference between men and women made it impossible for her to break free. 3/8

Plus, having just had a miscarriage, Aurelia’s body was still weak.
Dominic pressed her head against his chest.
“Auri, stop making a fuss, okay?”
There was exhaustion in his voice.
For the three days since Aurelia had started acting out, he hadn’t had a single good night’s sleep.
Just as Aurelia was about to kick him again, someone knocked on the guest room door.
Then Mary’s voice came from outside.
“Mr. Hawthorne, Madam Hawthorne and Ms. Lydia are here.”
Aurelia stopped struggling.
In the dim room, her whole vibe turned ice cold.
Then came that cold, mocking laugh. “Oh, perfect. They’re here to settle the score. Let. Go.”
She tried to get up.
Right now, she was like a warrior ready for battle. 4/8

Eleanor and Lydia showing up at the door? She wasn’t running. Wasn’t hiding.
After all, they’d already ripped off all the masks!
What was left to lose?
Dominic’s head throbbed. He grabbed her wrist. “You’re staying in this bed.”
He turned on the bedside lamp and pushed Aurelia back under the covers.
“You sleep. I’ll handle this.”
No way in hell was he letting her go downstairs.
If she went down there, who knew what kind of scene they’d
make.
After everything these past few days, Dominic finally got it- Aurelia was done playing nice with the Hawthornes.
The old Aurelia? She’d respected Lauren. Doted on Bianca. Been kind to Lydia.
She’d bent over backward trying to win over every single person in that family.

She was wild and rebellious. And she would burn it all down.
Dominic got up.
Aurelia lay in bed and let out a soft, mocking laugh.
“Are you coming back up later?”
“Where the hell else would I go?”
Her sarcastic tone made his blood pressure spike.
Aurelia’s voice turned sharp.
“You’ve skipped plenty of nights at Oakridge Estate this past half year. You know damn well where you went.”
Dominic: “…
Just bringing that up gave him a headache.
Yeah, Six months of resentment weren’t getting resolved tonight.
He threw on a bathrobe carelessly and glanced back.
“I won’t be leaving for Adrian’s kid anymore.” 6/8

He emphasized Adrian’s kid like it was carved in stone.
As if telling her–Every time he left before, it was for the child.
Not for Lauren.
Aurelia’s smirk widened, dripping with mockery.
“Oh, Adrian’s kid? Don’t worry–you’ll have plenty of reasons to run off for that kid in the future.”
Her words were pure venom.
Dominic had no comeback.
He knew. Six months of hurt didn’t just disappear. This grudge? Who knew when she’d let it go.
He walked over and ruffled her hair. “Be good.”
Casual. Almost dismissive.
Then he turned and walked out.
The second the door closed-
Chloe’s call came through. “You asleep?”
“No.” 7/8
