She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1011

'Did you and Melanie get back together?'

Suddenly, Marjorie grabbed Preston's hand, her eyes full of pleasant surprise.

Preston froze, and Gabriel, sitting next to him, widened his eyes in shock.

Preston shook his head. 'Not yet.'

'Sigh!' Marjorie couldn't help but sigh, slapping Preston's shoulder in exasperation. 'What's the matter with you, boy? Use your masculine charm! If that fails, just use your financial superpower!'

'Your mother is right...' Frederick chimed in from the side, looking earnest. 'When pursuing a girl, you can't be stingy with your money. First, pick out a couple of nice properties and put them in Melanie's name. Then buy her a new car, and maybe get her a few of those limited-edition bags.'

Gabriel sat to the side, his jaw dropping. His parents had never been this generous with him or his brother. It really was like... an unmarried son was like water thrown out the door.

'Dad, Mom... Melanie isn't that materialistic,' Gabriel reminded them quietly.

'Right, right, right! Let's not go overboard and scare her off... Just give her one property to start.'

Gabriel: *Ummmm.*

Just then, Frederick had a new idea. 'Since Melanie values sincerity over money, you should buy her a bouquet of red roses every day. And cook a few dishes yourself, pack them into a cute little bento box for her to take to work.'

'Dad, is that... exactly how you pursued Mom?'

Hearing Gabriel's question, Frederick got fired up. 'What do you mean I pursued your mom? You only need to look at Preston to know how handsome your old man was back in the day. Of course, your mom pursued me.'

Just because Preston didn't love her and had broken their engagement, she actually tried to use Melanie to frame Stellaris PharmaTech.

But what surprised Marjorie even more was Melanie's reaction. At that time, Melanie and Preston had clearly already broken up, yet she didn't help Elara harm Stellaris. Instead, she helped Stellaris bridge a connection with the Carter Group.

Marjorie had to admit that despite Preston's young age, his eye for people was far sharper than hers. It was no wonder that Stellaris PharmaTech had grown more prosperous by the day ever since it was handed over to Preston.

'I'm not blind.' Marjorie lightly rapped Gabriel on the head. 'Melanie is beautiful, smart, and kind-hearted...'

'Ever since she became the CEO of the Royce Group, their momentum has been incredibly fierce!'

Seeing Marjorie and Frederick both full of praise for Melanie, Gabriel couldn't help but cross his arms and nod repeatedly.
