She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 215

Besides, Riley had a PhD, a higher degree than Adrian Mercer.

Evelyn's plan was to get Riley into Adrian Mercer's studio and then use his performance to replace Adrian.

That way, when the new drug was successfully developed and the Hale Group went public, Riley would be the biggest contributor.

And Riley was the talent she had recommended.

Meaning she would get half the credit for the new project's success.

As long as Gregory realized that marrying her would bring Dominic good fortune and make the Hale family prosper, he definitely wouldn't oppose Dominic divorcing Melanie.

"Dominic, you don't think Melanie will try to sabotage this, do you? And deliberately keep my old friend out of Adrian's studio?"

"No." Dominic shook his head. "Melanie isn't like that. She's very understanding, generous, and sees the big picture."

"She's poured her heart and soul into this new anti-cancer drug project. Your old friend has a PhD; he'll definitely be a help to the project. Melanie is desperate to bring in talent, so why would she try to obstruct it!"

"You sure trust her a lot."

Evelyn rolled her eyes hard.

Seeing that Evelyn was jealous, Dominic just gave an awkward smile and didn't say anything more.

He was afraid that if he continued to praise Melanie, he would make Evelyn even more upset.

But in reality, he wanted to praise Melanie.

By maintaining his "doting husband" persona, he had been spending a lot of time with Melanie and had discovered many of her good qualities that he'd never noticed before.

For example, he never would have thought that the supposedly incompetent Melanie could be so organized when it came to project coordination and management.

Besides, the Hale Health Center was technically registered under Gregory's name.

In other words, the project Melanie was working so hard on was actually his father's company's project.

Yet Melanie was more dedicated to it than if it were her own family's business.

This moved Dominic deeply.

At the same time, he felt a strong sense of conflict.

Once the new anti-cancer drug was successfully developed and the Hale Health Center went public, it would be time for him to fulfill his promise to Evelyn.

But…

He didn't want to divorce Melanie!

"How could that be…"

"How could it not be!"

Evelyn pouted.

"The way I see it, Melanie is behind this. Otherwise, how could someone as brilliant as my old friend be rejected? Adrian Mercer only has a master's degree! What right does he have to be so picky with him!"

Listening to Evelyn's complaints, Dominic frowned deeply.

"That can't be right... Melanie values talented people so much…"

Dominic's mumbling completely ignited Evelyn's fury.

"What's that supposed to mean! Are you trying to say I'm wrongly accusing Melanie?"

Before the meal was even finished, Evelyn stood up, turned, and walked out.

"Evelyn… Evelyn!"

Dominic chased Evelyn all the way to the company entrance, where they came face-to-face with Melanie just before the revolving door.
