She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 144

Gavin opened his mouth, wanting to advise Dominic not to be so blunt.

Melanie was still right there!

But the words got stuck in his throat.

Because Gavin was afraid that the more he said, the more he would draw attention to what he was trying to hide.

Knowing what Gavin was hesitating about, Melanie spoke up. "All right, I'll go back with Gavin."

"Melanie, Dominic didn't really mean..."

"It's perfectly understandable for Dominic to take his own sister out for some private business!"

Melanie said with a smile.

Dominic himself felt the same way. Evelyn was his sister, so what was wrong with them being inseparable? It was none of Melanie's business anyway.

Seeing Melanie being so considerate, Gavin was torn between feeling relieved for Dominic and feeling sorry for Melanie.

To this day, Melanie was still in the dark.

As long as Evelyn remained Dominic's sister, Melanie would probably never suspect that Dominic and Evelyn were actually having an affair.

Gavin sighed.

Although Dominic and Evelyn were not related by blood, according to public records, Evelyn was Dominic's adopted sister.

By any standard, the relationship between Dominic and Evelyn was a taboo.

"At least you're sensible."

After saying this to Melanie, Dominic crooked his elbow.

It was a signal for Evelyn.

Evelyn immediately linked her arm with Dominic's, shooting Melanie a triumphant look.

However, Melanie acted as if she hadn't seen it and turned to walk with Gavin.

The group of four split into two pairs.

Gavin looked back several times, wanting to persuade Dominic to take Melanie with them, but the words on the tip of his tongue ultimately turned into sighs.

Dominic also looked back several times.

Even though Evelyn was on his arm, his gaze couldn't leave Melanie.

He didn't believe that Melanie wasn't jealous.

But in reality, after Everett's death, the villa was naturally inherited by Evelyn.

Just a couple of days ago, Evelyn had suddenly told him she wanted to sell the Bresford villa, saying that since she and Lila were now living in Averin, leaving the Bresford house empty was a waste.

Dominic hadn't agreed.

On the surface, he said he couldn't bear to part with the home where he, Evelyn, and Lila had once lived.

But the real reason was that Dominic wasn't sure—

If Evelyn and Lila could live in Averin forever.

After all, Melanie was his legally wedded wife.

He couldn't possibly live separately from Melanie for the rest of his life, could he?

However, Melanie's behavior tonight had greatly disappointed Dominic.

Therefore, he wanted to grant Evelyn's request and accompany her to sell the house.

While Dominic was taking Evelyn to meet his friend, the buyer, Gavin dropped Melanie off at the Eclipse Noir Club.

There was no way Melanie would let Gavin know her real address.
