She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1082

Melanie narrowed her eyes slightly, a thought murmuring in her mind.

The Lockridge Group... the Director of R&D for a new project...

Just how much was the Lockridge Group paying Aria?

No, that wasn't right.

Melanie shook her head.

It wasn't about how much the Lockridge Group was giving her.

It was about how much Dominic Hale was giving her.

Thinking of Dominic, Melanie suddenly realized she hadn't paid any attention to what he had been up to lately.

Mainly because Dominic hadn't been popping up to harass her like he used to.

Hiring Aria as the R&D Director for this new Lockridge Group project was almost certainly a move against her.

She just didn't know if Dominic was the one orchestrating the attack.

Or if it was the Lockridge family themselves.

"Should I reach out to Gavin Lockridge?"

Melanie murmured softly, rubbing her chin as a heavy wave of worry washed over her face.

"I don't appreciate hearing another man's name fall from your lips."

A deep, magnetic voice pulled Melanie back to reality.

She looked up to find Preston staring at her with profound resentment, looking as though she had just callously abandoned him.

"Oh, please..."

Melanie let out a breathless, exasperated laugh.

"I can't even mention Gavin's name?"

"No."

Preston's tone left absolutely no room for negotiation.

"So domineering," Melanie muttered, walking out of the boutique. "It's not like I was talking about Dominic..."

At the sound of Dominic's name, Preston grabbed Melanie's arm.

"Is your ex-husband harassing you again?"

Seeing the sudden, predatory sharpness in his gaze, Melanie realized he had misunderstood.
