She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1089

"Honey!"

Startled by Leila's shrill voice, Dominic took a deep breath and turned around.

Leila had expected him to shower her with compliments the second he saw her in the crimson lace gown Aria had gifted her.

Instead, Dominic's brow furrowed in fierce displeasure.

"Why the hell are you dressed like that? Where is the dress I bought you?"

Hearing his harsh tone, Leila's smile fractured.

She couldn't exactly tell him she thought his vintage dress looked like cheap, outdated trash.

Worse still, it was appallingly short.

She absolutely refused to show up to a prestigious gala looking like a cheap nightclub escort.

And precisely because President Warren liked it, she refused to wear it.

Just the thought of that greasy old man leering at her made her want to vomit.

"Oh, honey, I wanted to wear it! But the fabric was so delicate, it tore before I even made it out the door. I had to throw this on at the last minute."

Leila grabbed his arm, pouting in her best sickly-sweet voice.

"But look! I wore the jade you got me. It's so gorgeous."

Despite her desperate fawning, Dominic's expression remained dark and stony.

He cast a cold glance at the heavy jade around her neck and dangling from her ears.

He had spent a small fortune on the set, but it certainly wasn't to make Leila happy.

If Warren wasn't obsessed with retro aesthetics, he wouldn't have bothered buying the damn jade in the first place.

It was meant to be styled with the vintage gown.

Instead, she had paired it with a garish crimson lace disaster.

Red and green...

Undisguised revulsion flashed in Dominic's eyes.

A woman with this kind of trashy taste was entirely beneath him.
