She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1005

'Ma'am, you can't go in there!'

The receptionist couldn't stop Leila. With a loud bang, Leila threw open the door to Melanie's office.

Everett wanted to step forward and stop her, but he saw Melanie wave him off.

Melanie hadn't seen Leila in a while and had assumed she had finally learned to keep her head down and behave. However, seeing Leila storming into her office, exasperated and red-faced, she clearly didn't look like the type who could stay quiet.

'Miss Langley, barging into my office without an appointment—you should thank my mercy that I didn't have security throw you out,' Melanie choked off Leila right from the start, instantly extinguishing more than half of Leila's fiery arrogance.

'I'm here to demand justice!' Leila stood with her hands on her hips, acting high and mighty.

Melanie laughed. 'What justice are you demanding from me? Besides, would justice even side with you?'

'You!' Leila was so agitated she almost bit her own tongue. 'I want to ask you, what exactly did you do to my boyfriend?'

Faced with Leila's interrogation, Melanie was even more bewildered. Who was Leila's boyfriend? Wasn't it Dominic Hale?

Unmistakable confusion flickered in Melanie's eyes.

Leila continued, 'Dominic was perfectly fine, but recently he's been binge drinking every single night, getting himself completely wasted. He's not motivated at work either. It's like he's sick, just drinking himself to death all day long...'

As Leila spoke, large tears began to roll down her cheeks. Melanie had already ruined her career, and if she couldn't rely on Dominic anymore, how was she supposed to live the rest of her life!

Leila's heartbreak and anxiety didn't seem faked, but Melanie was still puzzled.

Seeing the woman wailing, Everett was at a loss for a moment and wanted to hand Leila a tissue.

Instead, he heard Melanie say coldly, 'Everett, show our guest out.'

Everett realized he shouldn't be overflowing with sympathy for Leila. After all, Leila had caused plenty of trouble for Melanie and the Royce Group in the past.

Everett escorted Leila out, leaving Melanie alone in the office.

Although Melanie had no desire to get involved in the drama between Dominic and Leila, Leila's sudden visit had indeed piqued her curiosity.

Logically speaking, Gavin should be suspended from his position by his grandfather right now. Among the younger generation of the Lockridge family, aside from Gavin, the only other person Holden valued was his newly adopted son, Dominic.
