Chapter 55 Teach Her a Lesson
In the hospital room.
Dominic sat in the chair next to Lauren’s bed.
She’d been changed into clean clothes and was awake now, though her hair was still damp.
Eleanor kept dabbing at her eyes with tissues.
“She’s trying to kill Lauren! Three days straight of this! Where the hell did she learn to manipulate the media like this?”
This morning, Aurelia’s car accident from two years ago—and her miscarriage—went public.
Just like Aurelia planned, all of New York turned on Lauren instantly. Vicious personal attacks flooded in.
And Dominic? Radio silence.
So Lauren had thrown herself into the river. That finally dragged him here.
Eleanor turned to Dominic. “When are you gonna shut this down? Or are you just gonna let her keep going crazy like this?”

Right now, she wished Aurelia would just die.
Dominic glanced at his phone as it rang again—Mary calling for
like the tenth time.
Aurelia’s really getting addicted to stirring up drama.
He hung up, annoyed, then just turned the whole thing off.
Eleanor kept going. “Look, I was trying to be patient here, but tell me how am I supposed to deal with this?
“She’s planned every step to destroy us. How do you expect me to just sit here and take it?”
Dominic shoved his dead phone into his bag.
Something gnawed at him—an uneasy feeling creeping up his spine.
But he shoved it down. Ignored it.
Meanwhile, at Oakridge Estate.
Marilyn had blocked the ambulance from getting in and had

Staring at Aurelia lying on the couch, Marilyn’s eyes were
ice-cold and vicious.
She had this dangerous, threatening vibe radiating off her.
Walking toward Mary, she glanced at Aurelia sprawled on the couch.
“Tell me how much blood does a person need to lose before they die?”
Aurelia’s eyes narrowed. “You won’t live to find out.”
“No,” Marilyn said coldly. “I’ll find out today.”
She stomped down on Mary’s back. Mary gasped-she was too old for this.
Aurelia’s gaze turned lethal.
“You old hag called Dominic how many times?” Marilyn sneered. “And he still didn’t come back, did he?”
“Can’t even tell who the real mistress of this house is. What
good are you?”
Mary couldn’t get up. Too old. Too weak.

Marilyn pressed down harder, looking back at Aurelia.
“You could bleed out right here, and he still wouldn’t come.”
“Let her go,” Aurelia said coldly.
Marilyn laughed. “Protecting her? You can’t even protect yourself.”
She lifted her foot off Mary’s back and sauntered over to the chair beside Aurelia, sitting down with a smirk.
“Marrying for love.’ How romantic.
“Of all the things to believe in, you chose love in a wealthy family? Pathetic.”
Her tone was glacial.
She was making it crystal clear to Aurelia that she planned to sit there and watch her die today.
Aurelia didn’t respond.
Seeing her dismissive expression, Marilyn continued.
“We gave you a chance. You didn’t take it. So now-”

Marilyn stood and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
She saw a huge group of people had arrived, and her men were getting their asses kicked.
Grant was there, along with Lucas.
The German guy leading the group was particularly brutal, taking down several of her men with gunfire.
Marilyn’s face went pale.
She whirled around, glaring at Aurelia with pure hatred.
The door burst open with a loud crash. Grant and Lucas came
Marilyn lunged forward, grabbing a fruit knife and aiming it at Aurelia.
But the next second, pain shot through her wrist.
“Ahh!” The knife clattered to the floor.
Marilyn, her hand heavy with jewelry and rings, clutched her bleeding wrist.

her. Why?”
Grant gave Marilyn one disgusted look.
His presence was seriously intimidating. He didn’t even bother responding to Marilyn, just looked away like she made him.
sick.
He moved to Aurelia’s side, seeing her lying on the couch. “How are you?”
“I need to get to a hospital right now.”
Just then, Gareth rushed in.
He ran over to Aurelia, looking panicked. “Ms. Smith!”
Aurelia’s gaze dropped to Marilyn on the floor.
The woman who’d been so arrogant just minutes ago was now filled with rage at how things had turned.
Grant scooped Aurelia up and headed for the exit. Gareth instinctively followed.
Aurelia cast one cold glance at Marilyn and said to Gareth,
“Teach her a lesson.”
