Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 All of Them

After taking such a devastating blow, Marilyn immediately called Eleanor to scream out her rage.

Eleanor was also livid.

Dominic felt a headache coming on.

“She’s gone too far!” Eleanor shrieked, her words laced with hysteria. “She actually dared to meddle with Marilyn’s overseas business! Did you help her with this? Or was it Grant?”

Eleanor had spent years currying favor with Marilyn, a woman who’d always looked down on everyone else. Building that relationship had been no easy feat, and now Aurelia destroyed it all.

It made Eleanor’s blood boil.

Dominic didn’t bother responding. He just hung up the phone.

Next, he dialed Grant’s number.

No answer.

He tried again. Same result-straight to voicemail, then

Rage coursed through his veins, hot and unforgiving.

Why the hell was Grant helping Aurelia this much?

Marilyn was on the verge of losing her mind.

First, she’d been beaten half to death at Oakridge Estate. Now, the overseas project she’d slaved over for months had crashed and burned.

She lay in her hospital bed, seething with fury. “That little bitch. I seriously underestimated her before.”

She glared at Ray, her eyes blazing. “Call Grant. Right now. I need to ask him why he’s helping Aurelia like this!”

That contract had been a game-changer. Now it was gone, all because of Aurelia. The humiliation burned like acid in her

throat.

Ray dialed Grant’s number. But the call dropped after a single ring-automatic disconnect.

“Mr. Fletcher’s phone isn’t going through,” he reported, his

voice cautious.

assistant! What’s his name-Miles Carter? Get him on the line

now!”

Ray scrambled to comply, dialing Miles’ number as fast as his fingers could move.

To his surprise, Miles picked up.

Ray got straight to the point. “Miles, isn’t it inappropriate for Mr. Fletcher to help Ms. Sterling this much?”

His tone was sharp, carrying the weight of an elder’s authority.

Miles, unfazed, replied flatly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Click. The line went dead.

Ray stared at the phone in disbelief, his mouth hanging open.

Marilyn saw his expression and snapped, “He hung up?”

She was already furious. That direct, dismissive disconnect. pushed her over the edge.

Ray nodded, swallowing hard. “Yes. He hung up.”

“Is Grant out of his mind? Even if Aurelia divorces Dominic, she’s still trash! She’s not good enough to polish his shoes, let alone be with him!”

She couldn’t wrap her head around it.

All her success, her pride as a businesswoman, had been shattered by Aurelia.

“That little bitch!” she screamed, slamming her good fist against the bedrails. “I swear I won’t let her get away with this!”

Ray hesitated, then spoke up, his voice tentative. “Mrs. Drake… you might need to fly to Germany immediately.”

Marilyn’s face darkened even further. “How can I go? I can barely move!”

The second she got the news about the failed project, she wanted to hop on a plane. But how could she? She couldn’t move her legs or neck, and her arm was broken.

But her nightmare was far from over.

Before she could even begin to figure out how to fix the project disaster, Ray’s phone rang again-another overseas call.

Ray glanced at the caller ID, and his face turned ashen white.

Marilyn noticed his pallor and frowned. “What now? Spit it out!”

Ray stammered, his voice trembling. “It’s… It’s German Customs. The headquarters.”

Marilyn sat up straighter, her heart skipping a beat. “What could they possibly want?”

Ray ran a hand through his hair, his expression panicked. “I don’t know. Maybe there’s a problem with our exports?”

A call from German Customs headquarters… this had to be related to their shipped goods. There was no other explanation.

The words “problem with our exports” made Marilyn’s blood run cold.

She’d always kept things smooth on that end. She’d never received a call like this before.

A terrible, sinking premonition curled in her gut.

“Answer it,” she told Ray, her voice tight.

Ray nodded, his hands shaking as he swiped to answer. He launched into fluent German, his tone trying to sound calm and confident.

Marilyn didn’t understand a word of the conversation. But she watched Ray’s face closely. And with every passing second, his expression got darker and darker.

Her heart hammered against her ribs, anxiety clawing at her chest.

Twenty minutes later, Ray hung up the phone, his face ashen and his shoulders slumped.

Marilyn pounced immediately, her voice sharp with fear. “What happened? What did they say?”

Ray hesitated, then spoke, his voice low and grave. “The call was from the head office of the German Customs.”

“And?” Marilyn pressed, her nails digging into her palms.

That couldn’t be good. Could it be that…

She didn’t dare finish the thought, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. She stared at Ray, her face frozen in

terror.

Ray’s expression was bleak as he delivered the final blow. “They said all of our exports are banned from entering German territory. Effective immediately.”

“What?!”

Marilyn’s scream echoed through the hospital room, raw and desperate.

This couldn’t be happening. It just couldn’t.

She grabbed Ray’s arm, her nails digging into his skin. “What reason did they give? Tell me!”

Ray’s lips pressed into a thin line. “They said our products contain substances that exceed safety limits. None of them meet German standards.”

Marilyn’s eyes widened. “Which products?”

Ray lowered his head, his voice barely a whisper.

“All of them.”

All of them?!

The words hung in the air, heavy and final.

For years, everyone in New York knew Marilyn ran an export business, and her biggest market was Germany. Now suddenly all her products were banned from entering German territory?

In that moment, Marilyn felt like her world had completely fallen apart.

Her mansion at Emerald Bay Residences had just burned down, taking all her valuables and large sums of cash with it. Now her international export business was also being cut off…

And that wasn’t even the worst of it.

Ray’s phone started ringing again.

He glanced at the number. It was from one of their long-time German business partners.

Ray answered, “Hello?”

Seconds later, panic washed over his face. “What did you say? A lawsuit? No, how could you…”

The call ended suddenly, and right after, several more calls came in. Every single one said they couldn’t keep supplying as
