She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 207

The 'Ms. Monroe' Aria mentioned was none other than Melanie's biological mother, Talia Monroe.

Back then, before the rise of the pharmaceutical genius 'Schrödinger's Pill,' Talia had been the most outstanding young talent in the world of pharmacology.

Melanie had always been proud of her mother.

However, just as Talia was making some progress on her breakthrough cold remedy, disaster struck. She had an accident abroad and passed away.

From that day on, Nathaniel forbade Melanie from studying pharmacology, forcing her to change her major.

Her mother's research materials... she hadn't even been allowed to touch them herself. How could she possibly let Aria borrow them?

Moreover, she had always believed there was something suspicious about her mother's death.

Four years ago, she had secretly gone abroad to investigate the matter, but she had come up empty.

What if there were clues in the research materials her mother left behind?

For reasons both emotional and logical, Melanie could absolutely not let her mother's belongings fall into Aria's hands.

"Melanie, I just want to borrow them for a look. I'll return them as soon as the project is over."

After Aria finished, Sabrina added, "That's right, Melanie. At least in Aria's hands, those materials will be useful. You stopped studying pharmacology long ago, so they're no use to you, are they? Why not let Aria use them for her research? Maybe she'll succeed where your mother couldn't and develop the drug! In a way, that would be fulfilling your mother's dream, wouldn't it?"

"Ms. Lowell is right. You stay out of this. Edmund, go to my study and bring all of Talia's old research materials here."

Ordered by Nathaniel, Edmund glanced at Melanie first, looking hesitant.

As the Royce family's butler, he couldn't disobey Nathaniel's command, so he had no choice but to go upstairs to retrieve them.

However, after bringing the materials down, he didn't immediately hand them to Aria.

"I will never hand over my mother's life's work to that homewrecker and her daughter!"

Melanie snatched the research materials from Edmund's hands.

And as long as Melanie and Nathaniel argued, the fiercer the fight, the more Nathaniel's dislike for Melanie would grow.

Eventually, Nathaniel would take back the shares he gave Melanie and hand Nathaniel Corp. over to Aria.

Just as Melanie and Nathaniel's argument reached its peak, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Edmund went to the door and saw who was outside through the video intercom.

By the time he returned, Melanie and Nathaniel were still yelling.

"Sir, Miss Royce..."

Edmund's voice cut through the incessant quarreling.

For the first time, everyone's attention in the living room was focused on Edmund.

"There's a man at the door who says he's here for Miss Royce. He says... his name is Preston."
