She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 173

Emilia clearly couldn't afford a place like this.

But she had gotten lucky, winning a one-time trial pass in a grand-opening raffle.

Today, she had come here hoping to hook a rich guy, but instead, she saw Melanie and Gabriel.

The Hale Group and Stellaris PharmaTech were essentially competitors for the new anti-cancer drug project.

And Melanie, the person in charge of this project, was playing tennis at a resort with Gabriel, the Vice President of Stellaris PharmaTech, in private?

Emilia instinctively raised her phone and snapped a bunch of pictures of Melanie and Gabriel.

Although they weren't doing anything compromising—just talking—they looked quite intimate.

After taking the photos, Emilia was ecstatic, as if she had caught Melanie cheating on her husband and selling out the company.

She immediately called Evelyn and sent her all the photos she had taken.

However, Evelyn fell silent on the other end.

"Evelyn, isn't this enough to completely ruin Melanie?" Emilia's voice was urgent over the phone.

Evelyn could tell that Emilia hated Melanie to the bone.

She was no different.

But she couldn't act rashly.

She remembered it was also Emilia who had taken pictures of Melanie having dinner with the CEO of the Halevy Group.

Although she had used them to stir up trouble, it had been all bark and no bite, failing to cause any real damage to Melanie.

This time... she had to think carefully...

"Alright, Emilia, here's the plan. You lay low for now and keep a close eye on Melanie. Don't let her leave the resort under any circumstances... If she tries to leave, show yourself and find any excuse to keep her there."

"Okay, okay... and then?" Emilia asked, confused but willing to follow Evelyn's instructions.

"I'll arrange the rest. I'll let you know when everything is ready. In short..." A sinister smile spread across Evelyn's face as she held her phone. "I won't let Melanie get away this time... I'll make her wish she were dead!"

Listening to Evelyn's venomous words, Emilia felt a thrill of excitement.

Dominic had rejected her advances, and she was a hundred percent sure it was because he was afraid of Melanie.

Why did Melanie get to be the boss's wife while she was stuck doing grunt work?

Emilia had a feeling her time to turn the tables was coming.

After hanging up, Evelyn had a plan.

To get the Hale Health Center listed on the stock market as soon as possible and secure Dominic's financial freedom, she wouldn't obstruct the new anti-cancer drug project anymore.

But she was sure Mr. Locke would understand.

At the dinner party, Mr. Locke and the others had made their intentions quite clear.

Either accept the price increase or offer up Melanie to satisfy their carnal desires.

After calling each of the supplier executives, Evelyn put down her phone.

She was taking matters into her own hands. If Dominic found out, he would likely be furious.

But by then, what's done would be done. Melanie would be damaged goods, and no matter how much the Hale family treasured Nathaniel, they would never accept a daughter-in-law who was ruined.

Dominic and Melanie's divorce would be set in stone.

Plus, once those suppliers had their way with Melanie, they would surely lower their prices.

The credit for that would be all hers.

Evelyn didn't believe Dominic would hold a grudge against her forever over the small matter of Melanie being forced to sacrifice herself.

While Evelyn was busily preparing her scheme...

Back at the resort...

Gabriel, panting and holding his tennis racket, turned his head and saw Preston standing by the side of the court, who had appeared at some point.
