She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1003

Preston's words left Melanie stunned.

'It's one thing to forbid good guys, but not even women?'

'No,' Preston refused with absolute finality.

'So bossy,' Melanie couldn't help but mutter in dissatisfaction. 'Besides, why do I have to listen to you?'

As soon as she finished speaking, a large shadow instantly enveloped her from above, and Melanie immediately lost her nerve.

'Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. I won't get close to anyone until we find out the truth. Is that okay?'

Melanie really didn't want to provoke Preston anymore. He was dangerous tonight.

She had clearly intended to talk to him about the serious matter of Shawn poisoning Elina, but they hadn't touched on the real issue at all. Instead, she just watched Preston get consumed by jealousy.

And he had kissed her until her face flushed red.

Just thinking of that rough, intense, and passionate kiss made Melanie's entire face heat up uncontrollably again.

'This "anyone"... doesn't include me.'

Hearing Preston's sudden little reminder, Melanie tilted her head. Did that mean she could only get close to Preston from now on? This man was really...

Melanie couldn't help pointing at him, silently cursing him in her heart: *Manipulative jerk!*

Ultimately, she judged that tonight wasn't suitable for discussing Shawn with Preston, so she kicked him out of her rented apartment.

As he was leaving, Preston intentionally or otherwise glanced at her neckline and shoulders.

The next day, Preston first returned to Stellaris PharmaTech to handle some business matters.

As soon as he entered his office, Gabriel grabbed his arm.

'Preston!' Gabriel's eyes were shining with excitement.

However, Preston had no idea what Gabriel was so thrilled about.

'Did you pass your English IELTS exam?'

'Of course not!' Gabriel shook his head vigorously.

'By the way, Gabriel...'

Startled by Preston's sudden voice, Gabriel dropped his phone on the floor.

Preston noticed his brother's guilty demeanor but didn't ask further. 'Go tell Philip to contact the luxury boutiques.'

'The luxury boutiques?' Gabriel tilted his head, asking curiously, 'Menswear or womenswear?'

At the Royce Group.

Melanie had just arrived at the office today when she received some good news.

Sebastian York's overbearing secretary, Clarice, had contacted the Royce Group. Regarding the clinical promotion of the new targeted drug, Sebastian and the rest of the oncology department had discussed it and reached a preliminary intention to cooperate, but they needed Melanie's side to provide more data and materials.

However, while the news was good, where was Melanie supposed to get a new targeted drug?

The whole claim about a new targeted drug was something she had completely fabricated on the spot.

While she had found a breakthrough to understand the York family further, Melanie was now stressing over the non-existent new targeted drug.
