Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 70

That line-he used to say it to everyone else. Now she was throwing it back in his face, a cold threat hanging in the air.

And she was right. He had no leverage with her right now. None at all.

Helplessly, Dominic reached out, wanting to ruffle her hair like he used to when he wanted to comfort her.

But Aurelia dodged his hand, moving back just enough to avoid his touch.

Her refusal to accept any olive branch was absolute.

Dominic sighed, defeat weighing heavily in his voice. “Fine. I’ll get everything back for you.”

“Remember. By dawn tomorrow,” Aurelia reminded him, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Dominic had nothing to say.

Aurelia smiled, a cold, amused curve of her lips. “I’m sure someone as capable as Mr. Hawthorne doesn’t care about trivial things like his staff being off duty, right?”

She’d just shut down every excuse he might have made.

In the end, Dominic left the room, his jaw tight with frustration.

A minute later, Gareth walked in, followed by a servant carrying a food container-clearly something brought over from Starlight Hill.

Gareth bowed slightly, his voice respectful. “What did Mr. Hawthorne say just now?”

“He said he’ll transfer everything his family took from me back into my name,” Aurelia replied casually.

“And you agreed?” Gareth asked, surprise flickering across his face.

He thought Dominic was just messing with her. There’s no way Dominic hadn’t known about this stuff over the years. Now he was pretending to give it back?

When Eleanor threw a fit later, wouldn’t that just make things hell for Aurelia?

Aurelia laughed softly. “Of course I agreed. All that stuff was his gifts to me in the first place. Why wouldn’t I want it back?”

There was a playful, mischievous lilt in her voice. Her

Gareth had learned the basics of the Hawthorne family from the investigation files. He knew how petty and greedy Eleanor and Lydia were.

Hearing her words, he said slowly, “They probably won’t give it back. Not willingly.”

The Hawthornes were supposed to be one of New York’s top elite families. But ever since Aurelia married in, Eleanor and Lydia had acted like they were terrified she’d get even a cent of the family’s money.

They’d even stolen the diamond necklace Dominic had given her.

Such petty behavior… where was the dignity of a wealthy family in that?

Aurelia sneered. “Of course they won’t.”

Gareth frowned. “Then why…”

“I never actually wanted it back,” Aurelia cut him off, her eyes glinting with malice. “Not really,”

When Dominic first brought it up in his office, she had no intention of taking them.

But now she changed her tune-especially emphasizing the stuff Bianca took. It was all about watching the Hawthorne family tear themselves apart.

Gareth’s eyes widened. He finally got it.

Aurelia didn’t care about the money or the assets. She just wanted Dominic to go beg for them. She wanted to watch the entire Hawthorne family explode.

She was planning to turn their perfect little elite world upside down.

Gareth thought for a second, then asked, “What about Lauren? Are we calling off the plan?”

Since they were now playing this game with Dominic, he assumed Aurelia had shifted her focus.

Aurelia let out a cold, sharp laugh. “No. The plan goes ahead as scheduled tomorrow.”

She was betting Dominic couldn’t get everything back in time. And even if he did? She’d never planned to let Lauren off the hook.

Gareth nodded firmly. “Understood.”

“Just wait and see. The show starts now. And it’s going to be good.”

She couldn’t wait to watch Lauren and Marilyn lose their minds. And she couldn’t wait to watch the Hawthorne family burn.
