Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Power Struggles

“That was just a newborn!”

Aurelia glanced at him, her voice cold. “Then I wish the child a long life.”

Dominic was speechless.

Her words were… infuriating. But he couldn’t listen any longer. If he did, her attitude would surely push him over the edge.

Without saying another word, Dominic turned sharply and walked out of the room.

Before leaving, he turned back to face Aurelia. “I’ll have Grant take some time off. You shouldn’t go out for now.”

“A little while later, Jason will come by, and everything will be transferred back to your name. The things that need to be stopped-well, they need to be stopped now.”

He emphasized the word “stop,” his voice low and firm.

Then, without waiting for a reply, Dominic slammed the door behind him, leaving the room to silence.

Aurelia didn’t even look up. “No need.”

She wouldn’t be eating at Oakridge Estate.

She’d made it clear before-she would never eat another meal from the Hawthorne family. And she always kept her word.

Just as she settled back into the couch, the doorbell rang.

“I’ll go check who it is,” Mary offered, walking toward the door.

Aurelia nodded without a word.

Mary glanced at the video doorphone, then turned to Aurelia. “Mrs. Hawthorne, it’s Mr. Willis from Mrs. Drake’s side.”

Aurelia stiffened. Marilyn’s people?

“Let him in.”

It seemed like Marilyn couldn’t hold out any longer. After all these years, Aurelia had thought Marilyn would stay strong,

but only a few hours after noon…

Mary opened the door, letting Ray inside.

Aurelia remained on the couch, her expression unreadable.

Ray stepped forward, his tone more respectful than before. “Ms. Sterling, I’ve been trying to reach you, but you haven’t answered.”

Aurelia shot him a cold look but didn’t respond.

Ray continued, “Mrs. Drake would like to speak with you. Would you be willing to…?”

Aurelia’s gaze remained icy. “Talk? Sure, but tell Mrs. Drake to come to Oakridge Estate if she wants to talk to me.”

Ray froze.

As soon as he heard her insist that Marilyn come to Oakridge Estate, his face stiffened.

Marilyn had been badly hurt today, unable to even move, lying in the hospital.

The reason for her condition was simple-Aurelia had ordered

Now, Aurelia was demanding that Marilyn come to her?

Ray was less than pleased, but he kept his emotions under control.

“What? If she wants to talk, should I go to the hospital to meet her? I don’t need anything from her. I’m not going to beg her and show up at her door.”

Ray’s face turned even more serious.

Aurelia was clearly not interested in anything Marilyn had to offer, but right now, Marilyn needed something from her.

Ray knew full well that Aurelia was aware of just how badly Marilyn had been hurt today, yet she was playing this game.

His discomfort was palpable, but he held it in, forcing himself to speak. “Mrs. Drake can’t move right now.”

Aurelia let out a mocking laugh. “So, are you asking me to go to her and let her talk? Doesn’t she know I almost bled out this morning? She dragged me around and delayed my treatment.”

Ray was at a loss for words. He was used to navigating high society, but Aurelia’s sharpness was beyond anything he could handle.

“Ms. Sterling, please don’t be angry. You shouldn’t be angry right now,” Ray said, trying to calm the tension.

Aurelia shot him another glare, making Ray’s chest tighten

she’ll give it.”

Aurelia paused, her lips curving into a soft, mocking smile. “Anything I want, she’ll give?”

Ray nodded. “Yes.”

Aurelia’s laugh grew more mocking. “Can she even give it now? Her mansion was burned down, her business in Germany is banned, and if those clients sue her, she’ll be bankrupt.”

Aurelia listed Marilyn’s problems with chilling precision, but she didn’t mention Stanley…

Ray’s face paled. “So, Ms. Sterling admits that all of this is related to you? The mansion in Emerald Bay, the sabotage in Germany-were they all your doing?”

Aurelia didn’t flinch. “No, no. I didn’t burn anything down. I don’t have that kind of power.”

She smiled, but her eyes told a different story.

She didn’t set the fire herself, but Ray was clearly trying to trap her into admitting something, and Aurelia knew exactly what he was after.

Aurelia noticed the change and raised an eyebrow. “What? You still want to drag me into this? You want to pin the blame on me after all this time?”

“Isn’t that too much? I’ve been living under my in-laws’

watchful eyes for years. Do you really think I’d do something like set a fire?”

Ray’s face twisted with disbelief.

She wouldn’t dare?

But deep down, he knew everything was connected to her.
