She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1044

"...She blocked my number."

"It's not her first time doing that. You'll survive."

"She also fired me."

"You can always reapply."

"..."

Preston quickly realized he had chosen the wrong person to vent to.

"I'm hanging up."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Elias scrambled to stop him.

"Look, I'm the one who set up this whole date, so I feel kind of responsible that things went south."

He sounded unusually sincere.

"Tell you what, I've got a foolproof method for coaxing women. Trust me, it works every time."

Listening to Elias's confident promises, Preston's expression only grew more skeptical.

That night, Melanie crashed at Eclipse Noir Club.

But she didn't sleep a wink.

Tomorrow was the deadline for the MedGenius Elite competition.

She was firmly locked in second place.

At the exact same time, Aria was pulling a feverish all-nighter, frantically grinding through questions.

The event was hours away from ending, and the gap between her and the second-place user, Schrödinger's Pill, was closing at a terrifying speed.

Aria paced like a cat on a hot tin roof, practically shaking with anxiety.

"Millions of dollars... that money belongs to me!"

She viciously gnawed on her thumbnail.

Hidden deep within the app was an exclusive category: the Seven-Star Extreme Question Pool.

Out of all the millions of active users, no one had dared touch it.

"They were totally neck and neck until Aria started dropping fifty-point jumps out of nowhere."

"She's definitely farming the Extreme Pool. Those are fifty points a pop."

"We all know Schrödinger's Pill is a genius, but who the hell is this Aria?"

"Right? When did the industry get so crowded with prodigies?"

"Watching some random rake in millions makes me so insanely bitter."

"Hold on, we don't know who's taking home the millions just yet!"

"Five minutes and three hundred points... if they somehow pull this off..."

"It's jumping! Schrödinger's Pill is doing fifty-point jumps too!"

The forum threads turned into a live commentary of the leaderboard.

Originally, Aria had secured a crushing lead, outscoring Schrödinger's Pill by a full three hundred points.

But with the 10:00 AM deadline looming,

Schrödinger's Pill's score suddenly began rocketing upward—fifty points at a time.
