Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Work Faster

Dominic didn’t respond to Eleanor. He just hung up the phone, the line going dead with a sharp click.

Lydia had been listening to the whole conversation on speaker.

Her face turned bright red with rage. “Dominic actually wants us to give everything back to her? What right does she have to demand that?”

Eleanor sighed heavily, her shoulders slumping with

frustration. “You heard what he said. If we don’t return her

stuff, this media circus will never end.”

Lydia fell silent, her jaw tight with anger.

Eleanor shook her head. “And Grant? How could he possibly be interested in her? Of all people?”

The mention of Grant was like pouring gasoline on a fire. Eleanor’s expression darkened, and Lydia’s eyes turned cold and venomous.

She clenched her fists under the blanket, her hatred burning so fiercely it seemed like she could tear Aurelia apart.

“I had Mrs. Fowler set up a meeting with the Fletcher famX Close

this mess!”

The more she spoke, the angrier she became.

That plan had been flawless. Grant was handsome, wealthy, and from a respected family-perfect for Lydia.

Lydia’s voice was low and dangerous, her teeth gritted. “Then let her go.”

Eleanor froze, her mind struggling to process. “What are you saying? But he and Aurelia…”

“What could they possibly have?” Lydia snapped. “She’s Dominic’s wife, and Dominic’s his best friend. Do you really think Grant would cross that line? Impossible.”

Ever since Grant came back from abroad and she ran into him

at the airport, Lydia was smitten. He was everything she ever wanted in a man.

But Aurelia… She’d already ruined Dominic, and now she wanted to steal Grant? Over her dead body!

Eleanor nodded slowly, a vicious glint in her eyes. “You’re right. Even if she divorces Dominic, she has no right to be with Grant. She shouldn’t even dare to dream about it.”

features. “I’ll call Mrs. Fowler right now.”

She’d planned to wait until Lauren had fully recovered before arranging things between Lydia and the Fletchers. But now, with Aurelia potentially sniffing around Grant, there was no

time to waste.

Just as Eleanor was about to dial the number, Lydia spoke up again. “Do we really have to give her everything back?”

The thought of that ugly scar on her face twisted something inside her. She couldn’t stand the idea of Aurelia walking away

victorious.

Eleanor’s jaw tightened. She hated the idea just as much. But she remembered Dominic’s cold, uncompromising tone on the phone.

She finally waved a hand in frustration. “We’ll return her stuff

for now.”

Lydia’s lips twisted into a bitter smile. “Then tell Mrs. Fowler to work faster. I want to be engaged to Grant as soon as possible.”

If she had to hand over Aurelia’s stupid things, so be it. But

she’d take Grant and turn the tables.

After leaving the hospital, Dominic couldn’t shake his unease. The company meeting had felt like a blur-he couldn’t focus on anything.

His mind kept drifting back to Aurelia, and Gareth lurking around her.

Finally, he snapped. He cut the meeting short and retreated to

his office.

Grabbing his phone, he dialed Jason’s number. The call was answered on the first ring.

“Mr. Hawthorne,” Jason said, his voice professional.

Dominic’s voice was strained, thick with suppressed emotion. “Arrange for our men to go to the hospital. Replace Grant’s people, now.”

What the hell is Grant thinking? Aurelia is my wife! Why would she need his people there?

“Right away, sir. I’ll handle it immediately,” Jason replied.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in,” Dominic groaned, not looking up from his desk.

The office door opened, and a soft, feminine voice spoke respectfully. “Mr. Hawthorne, Mr. Reed is here to see you.”

Dominic’s head snapped up. He frowned at the unfamiliar woman standing in the doorway.

The executive office didn’t use female secretaries. Had Jason

lost his mind?

Before he could say anything, Ethan stepped out from behind her. “Dominic.”

Seeing Ethan, Dominic’s frown softened slightly. He waved a hand dismissively. “Come in.”

Ethan walked in, and the secretary, Gina Cox, closed the door quietly behind him.

Ethan crossed the room, a folder in his hand. He sat down across from Dominic and slid the file across the desk.

“My old man asked me to drop this off. Take a look.”

Dominic raised an eyebrow, picking up the file. “Hmm, he’s as

crafty as ever.”

Ethan snorted. “Just using our friendship to try and pull a few strings.”

Dominic’s face darkened.

Hawthorne Group had a strict policy against nepotism and shady dealings; everything he stood for rejected that kind of manipulation.

His friends knew the rules, and before Dominic could say anything, Ethan spoke up. “Relax. Don’t do me any favors. Handle it however you want. I just needed to show him I came, that’s all.”

Dominic stared at him for a long second. “You’re that blunt? Aren’t you afraid he’ll chew you out when he finds out?”

Ethan shrugged, leaning back in his chair. “He’s chewed me out a hundred times over the years. What’s one more?”

That was Fabian Reed’s routine-always scheming for shortcuts instead of focusing on improving production.

Dominic let out a dry laugh. He pulled a pack of cigarettes from his desk drawer, lit one, and tossed the pack to Ethan.

He raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on? Is Aurelia that hard

to deal with this time?”

There was definitely a mocking lilt to Ethan’s voice.

In their circle of friends, everyone knew Dominic had married Aurelia for one simple reason: she had no family background to speak of, making her easy to control, and she was so damn compliant.

But this so-called docile little rabbit with no bite? When she finally fought back, she hit hard. No mercy, no holding back.

Seeing even Ethan mocking him, Dominic’s irritation spiked.

“What do you make of Grant’s attitude toward her?”

At the mention of Grant, Ethan’s expression stiffened.

He’d heard the rumors, too. That morning, Grant had flown back from another city just to rush to Aurelia’s rescue.

That kind of move… it wasn’t just friendly.

And Grant played dirty-just like Dominic did.

Dominic was truly between a rock and a hard place this time.
