She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 167

It seemed she was determined to return to Bresford this time.

Dominic’s heart suddenly plunged into chaos.

He couldn’t lose Evelyn and Lila!

Even though… he had never given them an official status.

In his heart, Evelyn and Lila were his wife and daughter, his real family.

“Evelyn… Lila… you can’t leave me…” Dominic’s voice trembled.

His career was just getting on track. He couldn’t lose them now.

Camilla had made the same call to Melanie.

Although Melanie hadn’t returned home since Evelyn moved in, she was still the true mistress of the house.

As a maid, Camilla felt obligated to report any family matters to both Dominic and Melanie immediately.

It was also to avoid being blamed later.

After taking Camilla’s call, Melanie didn’t say much.

“I know, Camilla. You don’t have to worry about the rest.”

“Ma’am…”

Seeing Camilla hesitate, Melanie asked coolly, “Is there anything else?”

“N-no, nothing.”

Camilla hung up the phone, looking thoughtful.

She had actually wanted to persuade Melanie to come home.

She could tell Melanie was staying away because she was bothered by Evelyn and Lila.

She also thought Dominic was being unreasonable.

Even if they were his sister and the widow of a friend, he couldn't just let them live in his home forever.

With Dominic’s wealth, it wasn't as if he couldn’t buy them another house.

Instead, Evelyn and Lila stayed, while Melanie, the actual lady of the house, was pushed out.

Camilla had worked for Dominic’s family for years. Melanie was beautiful and kind, and Camilla didn’t want to see the day they divorced.

But with Melanie staying away, a man was bound to get other ideas.

Camilla had wanted to advise Melanie to tolerate Evelyn and Lila, or maybe use some pillow talk to convince Dominic to find them another place to live.

As it turned out, Melanie’s guess was dead on.

Evelyn and Lila waited at North Station until Dominic appeared. Playing hard to get, she declared she was leaving and would never come back.

Dominic pulled them into an empty VIP lounge.

“Evelyn, why don’t you understand! It’s not that I don’t care about you, or that my feelings have changed, and I’m definitely not favoring Melanie.”

“Right now, Melanie has secured the project with Adrian Mercer, which is good for the Hale Health Center.”

Evelyn, her eyes red, forcefully pushed Dominic away.

“Good, good… all you say is that it’s good! But it’s good for your Hale Group! Have you ever thought about me?”

Evelyn clutched her chest, her voice choked with tears.

“What am I?! Melanie is your wife. Melanie is the Vice General Manager of the Hale Health Center, the project lead… You won’t divorce her, so Lila and I are supposed to live our entire lives with our heads down in shame.”

“Enough… I’m tired…”

Evelyn’s tear-streaked face was a mask of despair.

She grabbed Lila’s small, cold hand, her voice trembling.

“I’m taking Lila back to Bresford. I’ll raise her by myself… From now on, the two of us have nothing to do with you.”
