She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 194

Evelyn had been having a rough time lately.

Ever since Dominic started building his “devoted husband” image to fast-track the new company's IPO, he was often out from dawn till dusk.

He had precious little time to spend with her and Lila.

Although she knew Dominic was doing all this for the company, to ensure it was strong enough to stand on its own as soon as possible, Evelyn still felt a deep sense of unease.

Every extra minute Dominic spent with Melanie added to her anxiety.

Evelyn knew with certainty that this whole idea had come from Melanie.

It was a ploy to keep Dominic by her side, to prevent her own status as Mrs. Hale from becoming a marriage in name only.

“That vixen!” Evelyn seethed, gritting her teeth.

Even though Dominic constantly reassured her that he had never touched Melanie in their four years of marriage, she knew men often thought with their dicks.

She couldn't be sure that the debt of saving his life and giving him a daughter would be enough to keep his mind off Melanie forever.

Melanie already had a crush on Dominic, and she was so shameless that she'd use the “devoted husband” persona as an excuse to tie him to her.

It was entirely possible that Melanie would resort to cheap tricks like wearing sheer nightgowns or transparent underwear to seduce him.

Once Dominic slept with Melanie and got a taste, it would be even harder to oust her from the position of Mrs. Hale.

The more Evelyn thought about it, the more she felt she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

As she was scrolling through her phone in her office trying to come up with a plan, a short video recommendation suddenly caught her eye.

Outside, Melanie was heading back to her own office when Evelyn rushed out, colliding with her.

Clatter!

Evelyn’s phone fell to the floor.

Melanie bent down to pick it up and saw the short video displayed on the screen.

“Here you go...”

Lately, Dominic had become somewhat addicted to playing the role of a doting husband.

He had never before thought that appearing in public with Melanie would be a source of such pride.

Melanie only had a bachelor's degree, had achieved little in her field, and had initially been useless at his company. It seemed she was inferior to Evelyn in every way.

But recently, as he and Melanie put on their show of affection, people both online and off were praising him for being a gentle, considerate, and discerning husband.

Dominic savored the flattery.

And no matter how unaccomplished Melanie was, she was undeniably beautiful.

Wherever he took her, people would praise her beauty to his face.

He felt that having a beautiful wife by his side was the ultimate status symbol.

Dominic felt a great sense of pride, even if Melanie was just a beautiful trophy wife.

And during this period of acting like a model couple with Melanie, Dominic gradually realized he had never actually taken her on a proper date.
