Chapter 90 Grant Doesn’t Seem to Be Interested in Lydia
There were many things Dominic didn’t know before. But this time, everything exploded at once.
Dominic, who already had a bit of a short temper, was completely set off by his mother and sister’s actions.
On the phone, Eleanor was so furious, it felt like she was about to have a stroke. “You… you little bastard! I’ll find her and ask her-what else does she want to burn? I’ll help her burn it all down!”
Everything she had taken, she set ablaze.
Dominic, so angry that he lost control, was caught off guard when Eleanor ended the call before he could hang up.
It had all spiraled out of control.
Lucas watched as Dominic and Eleanor argued, and the man who had just earlier suggested Dominic divorce Aurelia now went silent.
At least Dominic had always defended Aurelia…

and that much was evident to everyone.
Dominic lit a cigarette. “You, call her.”
He knew Lucas had a good relationship with Aurelia.

Dominic hadn’t been comfortable with Lucas’s behavior before
-he felt Lucas lacked boundaries.
And now, with Grant in the picture, it was even worse.
Lucas, hearing that he was the one to make the call, hesitated: “She won’t tell me where she is.”
“Call her!” Dominic snapped, his frustration boiling over.
Lucas let out a small sigh. Is this really how you ask someone for a favor?
Reluctantly, Lucas dialed Aurelia’s number.
As Dominic expected, Aurelia answered immediately.
“What’s up?” she asked, sounding unfazed.
Lucas carefully asked, “Oakridge Estate… it’s burned down.
Where are you now?”

with you?”
How does she always know? Lucas and Dominic exchanged glances, both taken aback by her intuition.
Her intuition was impressive-she knew exactly what was going on.
Aurelia’s voice was firm. “Tell him he’s got one option: divorce. Once we’re divorced, life will be easier. Otherwise, it won’t get any better.”
With that, she hung up.
Lucas nervously glanced at Dominic. Since the phone was on speaker, Dominic had heard every word clearly.
“Dominic,” Lucas said, trying to break the silence, “Mrs. Hawthorne is really beyond calming down now.”
Aurelia’s tone was so firm, there was no room for negotiation. It was clear that the past six months had seriously hurt her, especially with everything going on between Dominic and Lauren.
Dominic’s face turned dark.

Lucas blinked in surprise. “I did ask. She wouldn’t tell me.”
Was he completely losing it? Didn’t he hear that he asked her first? Yet Aurelia hadn’t given any information.
Dominic’s anger only grew.
Over at the hospital, Eleanor was just as furious. She had already been upset about the fire at Oakridge Estate.
But when she called, she got shouted at by Dominic.
Lydia was also angry. “I really wish we could just lock her up. That way, we’d have some peace.”
This mess that Aurelia had caused was making their lives impossible.
Eleanor, breathing heavily, snapped, “You want to call the cops? How would we even do that? What face do we have left as the Hawthorne family?”
“Let the whole of New York know you’re occupying Aurelia’s wedding house-let’s see who will still want you.” Lydia said, her voice full of venom.

bigger picture.
Some things might seem like nothing now, but if word gets out, it’s a whole different story.
Right now, Lydia was in talks with the Fletcher family, and Eleanor didn’t want anything to damage Lydia’s prospects.
“So, what do we do?” Lydia asked, her voice trembling with frustration. “Are we supposed to just let this go?” She really couldn’t swallow this.
Seeing Lydia so upset, Eleanor snapped back, “What do you want me to do? Don’t forget, you didn’t return Oakridge Estate because you wanted to spite her!”
Letting Aurelia live in her name? That was clearly a power move, pushing Aurelia down.
Before, Aurelia probably let Lydia do whatever she wanted.
But this time…
Aurelia had slapped Lydia’s disgust right back into her face.
“Let’s wait until you settle things with Grant before we talk more.” Eleanor said, changing the subject.

Now hearing Eleanor mention the Fletcher family, she added, “It’s better to settle things with the Fletcher family sooner.”
If Aurelia really had something going on with Grant, once she divorced Dominic, they’d have no leverage over her.
Lauren still couldn’t get over how Aurelia had been messing with her and her family.
She’d been waiting for Aurelia to divorce Dominic, so she could finally get revenge.
Eleanor nodded. “Not just settle things, but marry him quickly.”
Hearing this, Lydia paused before a faint blush spread across her face.
Marrying Grant…
She had thought about it!
Lauren, full of hatred for Aurelia-especially after the way she’d caused chaos in her mother’s life-wasn’t going to let Aurelia off the hook anytime soon.

Later that evening, during dinner, Chloe arrived.
Seeing how well the staff at Starlight Hill were taking care of Aurelia, Chloe felt a little more at ease.
“Lucas called me, asking where you are,” Chloe said. “Looks like Dominic still hasn’t figured out you’re at Starlight Hill.”
Aurelia’s smile was faint. “Let’s hope he doesn’t figure it out before the divorce is finalized.”
If Dominic found Starlight Hill, he’d also find out about Sebastian. And with Dominic’s temper, who knew what kind of trouble he might stir up?
Chloe shook her head. “Yeah, it’s best if he doesn’t find out. The Hawthorne family is one of the biggest in New York. And look at Eleanor and Lydia-disgusting.”
Aurelia had grown up in an orphanage, and they’d always looked down on her. If they knew she was from a noble family in Germany, Chloe could only imagine their faces. But until the divorce was final, she wasn’t going to say anything.
“By the way, what made you decide to burn Oakridge Estat
Chloe asked.

Dominic financially at this point. Burning it down was a huge financial hit.
Aurelia’s eyes glinted. “Lydia said she liked Oakridge Estate.”
Chloe blinked, realization dawning on her.
Ah, he got it. She, a little woman, likes Oakridge Estate? That’s Dominic and Aurelia’s wedding house.
“You know Oakridge Estate has always been under Lydia’s name, right?” Chloe raised an eyebrow.
It was in her name, and she still claimed to like it.
Now Chloe understood the situation. “She’s been disgusting you this whole time-burning it down seems just fine.”
Chloe had known Lydia for years, and she knew how unreasonable Lydia could be.
But she hadn’t expected Lydia to be this nasty about Aurelia’s wedding house.
Aurelia smirked. “Now she’s engaged to Grant, and wants me to stay away from him.”

Chloe shook her head.
Aurelia and Grant weren’t even involved yet, and Lydia was already warning her away?
