She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1191

Though Preston didn't say a word, Aria could see it in his eyes—he was shaken.

She allowed a triumphant smirk to curve her lips. It didn't matter why Preston was so obsessively loyal to Melanie. When faced with hard evidence, he wouldn't be able to stay in denial.

"Melanie came to my research institute recently. She planned the whole thing to secretly meet up with Shawn. I have the security footage to prove it." Aria pulled out her phone and shoved the screen toward him.

The images were obviously of Melanie, and right next to her was Shawn Sterling. Aria had spent an entire day agonizing over the security feeds to isolate a few heavily distorted, incredibly suggestive angles. One photo was a blatant forced perspective, but at a quick glance, it looked exactly like the two of them were sharing a passionate kiss. She had hired professionals to pull the stills. Those professionals knew exactly how to spin a wild narrative out of a single, misleading frame.

Aria wasn't delusional enough to think a few photos would instantly kill Preston's feelings for Melanie. But suspicion was a slow poison. Once the seed was planted, it would inevitably grow into a toxic, sprawling tree. Once the trust was shattered, there was no way he would stay this fiercely devoted.

"And it's not just Shawn... Do you have any idea what Melanie is really like? She'll trade anything, or anyone, to get ahead in business." Aria swiped to the next photo. "You know who this is, right? The Lockridge heir, Gavin."
