She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1172

Why was it fair? Why did Melanie get to effortlessly take control of the massive Royce Group empire?

While she...

She remembered being banished to the countryside, forced to scheme, manipulate, and claw her way back from nothing. Aria's fists clenched so hard her knuckles turned white.

But now, she had finally secured the position of R&D Director at the Gavin Lockridge Medical Research Institute.

She firmly believed she was every bit as capable as Melanie.

And now, Melanie was standing outside, practically begging her for a partnership.

A deeply satisfied smirk spread across Aria's face.

Her phone suddenly buzzed.

Glancing at the screen, her brow furrowed.

It was Tiffany, her assistant.

Aria had sent her down there to put Melanie in her place.

But watching from above, she had noticed Tiffany's initial arrogant posture quickly crumble under Melanie's dominant presence.

Useless.

Aria cursed internally as she answered the call.

"...What? Three hundred million?!"

Aria's face drained of color.

No...

Impossible.

When the Royce Group requested the meeting, they claimed it was for a Metabolomics Profiling Project.

Even with her limited expertise, Aria knew a project like that was worth a few million dollars at absolute most.

"Three hundred million? Please. She's bluffing. Ignore her," Aria snapped.

Following those orders, Tiffany relayed the rejection word-for-word.

Melanie didn't argue. She simply smiled, turned on her heel, and began to walk away.

Watching from her window, a jolt of panic hit Aria.
