She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 228

It was already dark when Melanie left Crescent Ridge Estate.

Regarding Hazel's suggestion, she would have to wait until she got to the office tomorrow to discuss it with Dominic.

Although Melanie had won the pharmaceutical quiz competition in a landslide and become famous overnight, if she had known it would lead to being summoned to the villa for questioning by Nathaniel, she would have preferred to keep a lower profile.

Walking alone to the parking lot, Melanie took a deep breath.

Tonight, she was lucky that Stellaris PharmaTech had recently developed a new AI system specializing in pharmaceutical knowledge. Otherwise, Melanie wouldn't have known how to explain herself to her father.

“You haven’t touched pharmaceuticals in so many years. How did you manage to answer questions that even a PhD from overseas couldn't solve?”

When Nathaniel asked her this with a stern expression, Melanie’s heart skipped a beat.

Fortunately, she was an adult and capable of hiding her emotions and thoughts.

Nathaniel was from an older generation and didn't know much about AI, so Melanie spun a tale about using the latest AI technology. She managed to fool him, avoiding any suspicion.

Finding her car, Melanie got in.

Ever since her mother passed away, her father had forbidden her from continuing her studies in pharmaceuticals.

But logically, her mother’s death was an accident that happened abroad.

It had nothing to do with pharmaceuticals.

So, Nathaniel's sudden and intense aversion to the field only strengthened the connection between pharmaceuticals and her mother’s death in Melanie's mind.

It was something Melanie had been investigating for years but had never been able to figure out.

On the way back to Rosevale Heights, she passed a bakery and saw a large sign advertising a sale on cheesecake: buy one, get one free.

Tonight's encounter with Nathaniel had been a close call, but she had come out unscathed. Plus, she had easily won the competition and obtained Riley’s research data. Melanie suddenly felt the urge to celebrate.

The second cheesecake from the buy-one-get-one-free deal could be for Preston.

Melanie wasn't sure if Preston would be home from work on time tonight.

But she bought it anyway.
