Chapter 99 Moving
“Back then, the two of us were not even that close,” Aurelia
said.
“You-” Dominic bristled the moment he heard that.
What does she mean? Not close?
We’re husband and wife.
And now she told me we weren’t close back then?
This heartless woman.
Aurelia continued coolly, “When it came to Lauren, did I not tell you I was unhappy?”
Dominic fell silent.
The moment Lauren was mentioned, the atmosphere between them tightened instantly.
Dominic’s breathing grew heavier. “The matter with Lauren
over.”
“Over?”

“Did you already forget what happened yesterday?” she asked, looking at him with open sarcasm.
Hearing the faint mockery wrapped in her smile, Dominic unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
“And that night,” Aurelia went on, “you carried her down from the rooftop. The media coverage was everywhere, saying how well the two of you matched.”
Dominic said nothing.
“If I had reacted a second slower, then in the matter between you and Lauren, the one being torn apart online would have been me. And you think I should have told you?”
She let out a short, derisive laugh.
It is absurd.
Her words left Dominic feeling suffocated.
“I did have expectations of you,” Aurelia said quietly. “It is just
that…”
She paused.

Yes, she had had them.
“When you insisted on moving me out of Hawthorne Manor, your attitude was so firm. I believed that with you protecting me, what did the Hawthorne family even matter?”
At the time, she had thought the same way most women did.
She believed that conflicts with elders were something she could endure and that they were temporary, peripheral, never something that would truly shape the rest of her life.
And yet―
The house he bought for her, everything he gave her, was taken away by his mother and sister, and that was one thing.
But after that, when it came to Lauren, he aligned himself seamlessly with the Hawthorne family.
It was a calculated move, and she saw it clearly.
When she told him that the child had been lost because of
Lauren, he did not believe her.
This time, it was even worse.

words of a bribed doctor, who claimed that after losing her child that time, it would be very difficult for her to conceive again.
That was the part Aurelia could not forgive.
And then there was the Maplecrest project.
It was he himself who had placed it under Lauren’s name.
“Dominic,” Aurelia said calmly, “every transgression you committed within this marriage is unforgivable, one by one.”
The things he himself had done were already beyond forgiveness.
Not to mention the conflicts involving his family.
And now he was asking her why she had not told him when those things happened.
Hearing that was nothing short of a cruel joke.
Dominic felt as though he could not breathe. “So in your eyes, I am that unforgivable?”
“Yes,” Aurelia said, nodding once.

“Enough,” Dominic snapped.
Divorce. Divorce…
Over the past few days, those two words had already driven him to the edge. He had no desire to discuss it anymore.
“I will not divorce you. Stop thinking about it.”
After saying that, thinking of the fires at Oakridge Estate and Marilyn’s Emerald Bay residence, Dominic added firmly, “Even if you burn Hawthorne Manor to the ground, do not even think about divorcing me.”
His stance was unwavering.
He was making it clear to Aurelia that trying to force him into divorce this way was useless. Even if Hawthorne Manor were reduced to ashes, he would not agree.
Aurelia’s expression darkened completely.
There was no denying that, whether it was Marilyn’s Emerald Bay residence or Oakridge Estate, she had indeed used such methods in part to force Dominic’s hand.
But now that he said this-

The smile at the corner of Aurelia’s lips turned cold. “Then what exactly will it take for you to divorce me?”
“When we got married, I told you I would never divorce,” Dominic said.
Again, he brought up the vows.
Aurelia was so angry that she stopped speaking altogether.
After Oakridge Estate burned, Dominic took Aurelia directly to his estate in Westchester County.
The estate sat atop a mountain, far from the city, with inconvenient access in and out. That had been the reason he later purchased Oakridge Estate as well.
Now, he found himself regretting that he had not moved to Westchester County earlier.
Westchester County was also far from Hawthorne Manor.
Even if Eleanor wanted to cause trouble, she likely would not have the energy to make the trip.
Dominic dragged Aurelia out of the car.

“You will stay in Westchester County for now,” Dominic said. “If you find it inconvenient here, then look around the city and see which area you like. I will buy you another place.”
He emphasized the words “buy you” heavily.
As if to remind her that everything he had bought before had been meant for her as well.
It was just unfortunate that in the end, she had not been able to keep any of it.
Aurelia heard the implication clearly and deliberately drove the knife deeper. “Have you taken all of those things back?”
Those things.
Everything he had given her before, no matter who had taken them from her, he would retrieve for her.
“All except the ones in my grandma’s hands,” Dominic said.
Anything that had been taken from Aurelia by others had already been recovered.
“And how long will that take?” Aurelia asked.

How long?
He had a strong premonition that whatever was in Bianca’s hands would never be taken back.
