Chapter 87 Call The Cops? Let Them See The Hawthorne Family’s True Face
The fire at Oakridge Estate was a big deal. Especially with Marilyn’s Emerald Bay Residences just catching fire, and now Dominic’s wedding home was burning as well. It was impossible not to draw connections to the recent tension between Aurelia and Dominic.
Lydia, who was at the hospital with Lauren, was the next to hear the news. The second she heard about the fire, she snapped: “How the hell did this happen? Was it Aurelia’s doing?”
The moment she said Aurelia’s name, the memory of her words over the phone earlier flashed in Lydia’s mind. “It’s not mine,
you still won’t be able to live in it.” The sarcasm in those words hit Lydia hard.
but
Her head was spinning.
It was Aurelia. It had to be her!
Fuming, Lydia immediately called Aurelia, but her call went straight to voicemail. After several attempts, she borrowed a phone and finally got through.

Aurelia picked up.
Before she could say anything, Lydia shouted through the phone, “Did you do this?”
“What?” Aurelia asked, feigning confusion.
“Don’t play dumb with me! You set Oakridge Estate on fire, didn’t you? Are you out of your mind?”
Lydia had already suspected Aurelia had something to do with the fire at Emerald Bay Residences, but now that Oakridge Estate was burning too, her suspicion turned into certainty.
“You have some nerve, huh?” Aurelia’s voice was as cold as ice. “You’ve got some gall to keep doing this to me. Is it Dominic that gives you the confidence to keep crossing the line?”
“You’ve gone too far, Aurelia. You’ll pay for this! Mrs. Drake won’t let you off the hook, and Dominic won’t protect you!” Lydia’s voice dripped with anger.
She really liked Oakridge Estate-she wasn’t giving it back to Aurelia. But honestly, it was more about getting under Aurelia’s skin.
But now, this…

Her nerves were about to snap from the rage.

But on the other end of the phone, Aurelia’s response was casual, almost too calm for Lydia’s liking.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she replied nonchalantly.
“How can you not know? You set the fire at Oakridge Estate, didn’t you?”
Aurelia let out a quiet chuckle. “I wouldn’t dare. You’re all so fierce, I was afraid I wouldn’t even have the chance to set it on
fire.”
Lydia was on the verge of losing it. “You—”

If it were Aurelia from before, they’d be certain she wouldn’t have the guts.
But after everything she’s done these past few days, what’s left that she wouldn’t dare to do?
“Why don’t you report it to the cops?” Aurelia interrupted.
The Oakridge Estate was under her name. If she called th gops, they’d def EVONY

Arson wasn’t something you could brush off-it was a serious crime.
“Let all of New York see how the Hawthorne family’s wedding home is actually under your name, not Dominic’s. Well, guess you guys don’t care too much about the Hawthorne family’s reputation, right? After all, what’s left of the Hawthorne family’s face?”
Lydia’s face went even paler.
Why had the Hawthorne family lost face? Wasn’t it because of all the mess she’d caused these past few days?
Before Lydia could speak, Aurelia’s voice continued on the other end of the line: “Let everyone see how impressive the Hawthorne family’s daughter is. Her brother’s getting married, but she’s still holding on to the property under her name. I doubt anyone would dare marry a Hawthorne family daughter now.”
“Heh, you think it’s the same as you? Thinking you’ll get nothing by marrying into the family?” Lydia scoffed.
She grew up in an orphanage. Marrying into the Hawthorne family? She has nothing to gain.
But if Dominic were to marry into another family, the benefits

would be immeasurable.
The words dripped with disdain, her view of Aurelia as nothing more than an outsider who would never be worthy of the Hawthorne family.
Aurelia chuckled softly. “It might have been more profitable to marry into the Hawthorne family, but with such a ‘wonderful’ daughter of the family like you, I’d say no one would want to touch that.”
Sure, the benefits are tempting.
But if word gets out about just how ruthless Lydia is, anyone considering an alliance with the Hawthorne family would definitely think twice about taking her as a daughter-in-law!
Lydia gritted her teeth. “You… you…’
With a mocking tone, Aurelia added, “Tsk tsk, such a shame about that beautiful Oakridge Estate. You worked so hard to keep it in your name, but in the end, you couldn’t even live in it.”
After that, Aurelia hung up the phone.
Stunned and infuriated, Lydia didn’t even hear the line go dead. She yelled into the phone, “You bitch!”

She dared to say that?
Lydia was truly losing her mind at this point.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Aurelia apart, but all she got in return was the dead silence of a disconnected call.
Fuming, she tried calling back, only to find that Aurelia had. blocked her number.
“This bitch… causing trouble, always causing trouble. How does she keep doing it!” Lydia seethed, her fury building to a fever pitch.
