She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 181

The chaotic scene continued into the afternoon.

No one called the police.

In the end, Emilia, covered in injuries, packed her things and left under the judgmental stares of the entire company.

She was fired.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Evelyn never showed her face.

The news of Emilia’s dismissal from the Hale Group quickly reached Stellaris PharmaTech.

In the general manager’s office, Preston listened to Philip’s report with a blank expression.

“Mr. Whitmore, I’m not sure if I went a bit too far,” Philip said, standing respectfully before Preston, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Preston was the one who had tasked him with investigating who drugged Melanie at the resort.

However, when Mrs. Locke hired an investigator to find evidence of Mr. Locke’s affair, Philip was the one who had steered the blame toward Emilia.

Preston had only ordered him to make the person who drugged Melanie pay a price, and Philip wasn't sure how severe that price should be.

“Not at all,” Preston’s voice was icy.

If Melanie had really been drugged that day…

Philip watched as Preston gripped the pen in his hand tighter and tighter, as if he were about to snap it in two.

“Go get Gabriel and send him in.”

“Yes, Mr. Whitmore.”

Not long after Philip left, Gabriel entered.

“Bro, you were looking for me?”

“There’s something I need you to do,” Preston’s magnetic voice was firm and resolute.

Due to Emilia’s scandal, the Hale Group could no longer continue its partnership with Mr. Locke. Under pressure from his wife, Mr. Locke confessed that he, Mr. Wallace, and Mr. Holt had all been with Emilia.

The scandal spread widely, and many in the industry had heard something about it.

Ever since Emilia's scandal broke and she was fired, Evelyn had been on edge.

Finally, as expected, Emilia contacted her.

***

It was late, in the dead of night. The small park across from Rosecrest Villas was deserted.

Evelyn cautiously arrived at the designated time and place Emilia had chosen.

“You were the one who told me to do it…”

Emilia’s voice suddenly sounded from behind Evelyn.

Evelyn jumped, whirling around to see Emilia. She almost didn’t recognize her.

Emilia was wearing a black hoodie, the hood pulled low over her face as if to hide from the world. The bruises on her face hadn’t healed yet.

“Evelyn, let’s not beat around the bush. I’m the only one taking the fall for this. If you don’t want me to rat you out, you’ll arrange for me to go abroad and give me five million dollars.”
