She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 139

Evelyn cheered gleefully while shooting a look at Melanie.

Even though the light wasn’t bright, she could still make out Melanie's face.

There wasn't a ripple of emotion on it.

What an act! Evelyn couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Did she really think playing the aloof queen would keep Dominic in her grasp?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Dominic earnestly say to Melanie, “Melanie, even though I bought jewelry for Evelyn, I won’t play favorites. I said I’d buy you whatever you like, and I will.”

Dominic patted his chest, making a promise to Melanie.

However, Melanie didn’t even spare him a glance.

Dominic’s expression shifted slightly.

He felt the little patience he had left was about to be completely exhausted by Melanie.

“Next up… is the final piece of jewelry for this auction. After this, we will move on to other categories. So for our guests who love jewelry, please don't miss this opportunity!”

As the auctioneer spoke, Dominic quickly prompted Melanie, “Melanie, this is the last piece of jewelry.”

Melanie looked at the pearl tiara being displayed on stage and shook her head.

“I don’t like it.”

“You…”

Dominic was dumbfounded.

This was the first time he realized just how ungrateful Melanie could be.

He glanced at Evelyn, who was admiring the diamond brooch he’d bought her, unable to put it down.

Suddenly, Dominic realized he had spoken too harshly to Evelyn earlier.

Even though she was in the wrong, at least she knew her mistake and was willing to humble herself to please him.

And then there was Melanie…

Dominic turned his head, his gaze on Melanie slowly cooling.

In the end, the final jewelry item, the pearl tiara, was sold to another buyer.

Dominic hadn't raised his paddle once.

Finally, the auction was drawing to a close.

“The last item of our auction… is a rare treasure you'll hardly find at any other auction…”

The auctioneer raised his voice, building the atmosphere in the room.

“Please take a look. This is the grand finale, the final blockbuster item of tonight's auction—an integrated AI bioprinter.”

As the auctioneer’s words fell, Melanie’s eyes flew open.

“I want that!”

The words practically tumbled out of her mouth.

Next to her, Dominic rubbed his ears, thinking he had misheard.

“What do you want that thing for?”

From Dominic’s question, Melanie detected a hint of contempt and ridicule.

Just as she was hesitating whether to explain, Evelyn, sitting beside Dominic, chimed in with a snide tone, “Dominic, you just don’t understand Melanie. Even though she changed her major, she did study pharmacology for a few days. By asking you to buy this machine, she’s trying to prove she has real talent and knows how to use such a high-end device. She wants to show us ordinary folks that we can't appreciate its value like she can.”
