She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 203

Hearing Melanie's words, Hazel just shook her head and sighed, a look of exasperation on her face for someone so blinded by love.

"I think he treats Evelyn better."

Melanie smiled, offering no comment.

Of course Dominic treated Evelyn well. In his eyes, Evelyn and Lila were his real family.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Hazel waved her hand dismissively and asked Melanie, "I'm a straight shooter. I was wrong about you at the symposium, and I can't let you be wronged for nothing. So, tell me, how can I make it up to you? As long as it's something I can do, feel free to ask."

Melanie could tell from Hazel's expression that this wasn't just polite talk; she was being genuinely straightforward.

"In that case, I want the humanized transgenic mice from your Aldoria University research institute."

Hazel looked at Melanie, surprised.

"You're not even going to pretend to be polite?"

Melanie laughed.

"Why should I be polite with you? You're the one who offered to compensate me, and accepting will put your mind at ease. Besides, you did misunderstand me and target me at the symposium, so I deserve this compensation."

Hazel couldn't help but laugh at Melanie's confident reasoning.

"I like your personality... Humanized transgenic mice, right? I'll get them ready for you when I head back to the institute later."

"Thank you, Director."

After that, Melanie chatted with Hazel for a bit about pharmacology before turning to leave.

"Ms. Royce..."

Melanie stopped and turned to look back at Hazel.

"It's nothing."

Hazel shook her head, hesitating.

If her memory served her right, at the amusement park yesterday, that girl, Evelyn's daughter, had called Dominic 'Daddy.'

And more than once.

Hazel and Melanie weren't exactly friends, more like acquaintances. But she had a good impression of Melanie and felt an urge to meddle, to warn her to pay attention to the relationship between her husband and Evelyn.

Melanie, as usual, was drinking a lychee-flavored soda.

"So, now that your experiment has broken through its bottleneck, that scum's good days are numbered, right?"

Seeing how eager Daphne was for her to divorce Dominic, Melanie smiled slightly and raised her soda bottle toward her friend.

Dominic's good days were indeed numbered.

They would end on the day her new anti-cancer drug was successfully developed, which would also be the day the Hale Health Center went public.

At that moment, Dominic would surely feel like he was on top of the world.

The wine bottle and soda bottle clinked together with a crisp sound.

Just as Melanie and Daphne were enjoying their drinks, Melanie's phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed 'Nathaniel.'

Throughout the call, Melanie remained silent, listening to Nathaniel on the other end.

After she hung up, Daphne saw that Melanie's expression had turned incredibly grim.
