She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1098

Shortly after the leak, Arthur Warren had released a public statement claiming he had repeatedly rejected the Lockridge Group's inappropriate advances, only to be ambushed and drugged by a desperate Leila Langley.

The accompanying video served as the perfect proof for his fabricated innocence.

Now, the Lockridge Group and Leila were facing the unbridled wrath of the public. Millions of comments branded her a shameless, scheming whore.

Even worse, journalists were demanding that Dominic Hale step forward and face the music.

Arthur had also publicly sworn he would blacklist the Lockridge Group indefinitely.

Reading the headlines, Dominic's face turned a dangerous, apocalyptic shade of purple.

He immediately dialed his PR department.

Minutes later, the Lockridge Group released an official press statement vehemently denying any involvement.

They threw Leila straight under the bus, claiming the entire scandal was a rogue, personal endeavor on her part.

The statement went on to declare that CEO Dominic Hale had dumped her weeks ago after discovering her gold-digger tendencies, urging the public not to associate her filthy actions with his pristine company.

Boosted by an army of paid online trolls, the PR spin worked flawlessly. The entire internet focused its vitriol squarely on Leila.

Oblivious to her newly minted status as public enemy number one, she sat on the floor, staring up at Dominic in total confusion.

What had just happened?

Why did he look like he wanted to murder her?

A sickening dread twisted her stomach.

Finally, Dominic ended the call.

Forcing a pathetic, trembling smile through her bruises, she reached out.

"Dominic, what's wro—"

Smack!

A vicious backhand snapped her head to the side. Fresh blood trickled from the corner of her split lip.

She collapsed against the wall, her eyes wide with sheer disbelief.

"You stupid bitch! You ruined me!"

Dominic roared, his voice dripping with venom.

"Listen to me very carefully, Leila. We broke up a long time ago. Your disgusting little stunts have absolutely nothing to do with me! Don't you ever come near me again. We are completely finished!"

Spitting his final decree, he spun on his heel and stormed away.

She slumped against the baseboard, paralyzed by shock.
