She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 221

“Who is she?”

“Didn’t they say… Riley issued the challenge to Adrian?”

“I thought we’d get to see Adrian. Back at the Lin Corporation, he was second only to Elias.”

“Mainly because in scientific research, Adrian was number one at the company!”

“But Riley is a heavyweight in his own right. They’re both titans in the field of oncology research.”

“So… what is this woman doing here?”

Amidst the murmurs of doubt, Dominic, sitting in the audience, watched Melanie walk onto the stage alone.

Just then, Evelyn sat down beside him.

Dominic glanced at Evelyn but didn’t say a word.

He was still angry with her.

While Melanie had been a bit stubborn about this whole Riley situation, Evelyn was just as obstinate.

Riley and Evelyn had the same advisor back in school. If Evelyn had been willing to talk him down, maybe Riley wouldn’t have targeted Adrian so aggressively and blown the situation out of proportion.

It was clear that escalating things brought no benefit to the Hale Health Center.

Dominic let out a long, weary sigh.

He’d warned Evelyn repeatedly, but she treated his advice like background noise she could easily tune out.

That was the only way the project would succeed, the company could go public, and he could gain the capital to finally break the Royce family’s dependence on the Hale family.

But now, it seemed his words had gone in one ear and out the other.

And last night, he had no idea what time Evelyn had even come home.

Lila had gone to bed after finishing her homework, and he had gone to bed as well.

Before they fell asleep, Evelyn certainly hadn't returned.

Sitting next to Dominic, Evelyn was also uncharacteristically silent.

She wasn’t oblivious to Dominic’s displeasure and coldness toward her.

But this time, she had decided to try a different strategy.
