The Billionaire's Mistake

Chapter 284: Discovered.

After settling her matters at the gallery, Lydia was happy to leave. Mark went on his way to handle his own matters while she left with Harry.

He stopped bay hotel to pick up some documents while having her wait in the lobby.

While he was gone, Lydia walked over to her seating area and took a seat. She realized she had not eaten much during breakfast when her stomach started craving the coffee one of the guests was drinking.

She recalled someone online saying that a person could order a coffee in a hotel, so she called a staff and ordered one. Surprisingly, it was not expensive.

She took a sip of the hot liquid and it rolled down her throat. It tasted good. For a moment, she was satisfied. But her satisfaction was broken by the familiar sound of a woman's voice.

"Lydia? What are you doing here?" the person asked and Lydia turned to see who it was only for her mood to dip.

A tall blonde-haired woman walked towards Lydia. She was Lydia's Aunt, Hannah. The same who had been so obsessed with James Grey, she plotted against him and separated him from his family for more than a decade. Lydia could smell the drama coming. She suddenly had a head ache.

"I saw you from over there, what are you doing here?" Hannah asked, but Lydia acted as though she had not seen her and continued sipping on her coffee.

Lydia's behaviour caused those around her to look her way since Hannah had all but screamed when she walked over.

Lydia had no energy for this childish Aunt. This Aunt, Hannah was full of tricks since her mother and father had a headache each day, but grandma indulged her. Lydia's parents had cut ties with the main family so, she had no reason to accommodate Hannah. "Hey, there is no need to ignore Your Aunt. Who ignores people talking to them?" a girl standing next to Hannah spoke up, but Lydia did not even bother looking their way.

"Aunt, are you not tired of disturbing people? I should be asking why you are here. Are you sure you are not busy looking for a man to plot against?" Lydia asked.

"Shut your mouth! How dare you talk to you Aunt like that?" the woman beside her Aunt shouted.

"She did it, but does not want people to talk about it?" Lydia asked.

"You are shaming me? I am you Aunt!" Hannah shouted. She was already getting frustrated as she is unable to meet James recently and the family was almost bankrupt. She was even captured and thrown into a sex trafficking ring some time ago and her mother had to pull strings to get her out. She was not stupid. She knew it was James who had done that.
