She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 23

Curious, Dominic casually stopped a guest who was heading in that direction.

“Excuse me, what’s happening over there?”

“There’s an absolutely stunning woman talking with Mr. Halevy. No idea what her relationship with him is.”

With that, the guest hurried off to join the spectacle.

Evelyn was focused on the “stunning woman” while Dominic was focused on “Mr. Halevy,” so they both followed the crowd.

When they finally pushed their way through the onlookers, Dominic and Evelyn were both stunned.

The person before them, laughing and chatting with Spencer, the head of the Halevy Group, was none other than Melanie.

“She wasn’t kicked out?” Evelyn said in disbelief.

Not only had Melanie not been kicked out, but she had changed into an evening gown straight off the latest haute couture runway.

It was a deep-sea blue, strapless mermaid gown. The skirt was made of layers of cascading tulle, and the gradient blue created a rich texture, like flowing ocean waves.

The exquisite tailoring highlighted the designer's extraordinary skill and accentuated the wearer's perfect figure.

Melanie was already naturally beautiful, with fair skin. In a gown like this, she was as breathtaking as any international movie star.

But if it had just been the gown, it wouldn't have been enough to completely shatter Evelyn's composure.

Melanie was also adorned with jewelry.

It was from an exclusive blue diamond collection, the kind of jewelry Evelyn couldn't afford even if she forced Dominic to sell his house and his company.

Each piece was priceless, and Melanie was wearing the entire set.

In truth, Melanie wasn't sure if the jewelry she was wearing was real or a high-quality imitation.

Judging by the brilliance, she thought it had to be real. But she found it hard to believe the organizers would lend her a genuine set like this.

Melanie had expected Spencer to be polite, but she hadn’t expected to become the center of attention. And she certainly hadn’t expected to see Dominic and Evelyn in the crowd of onlookers.

Dominic stared at Melanie, his eyes wide.

Was this his wife?

He knew she had a good foundation; with just a touch of makeup, she was stunning. But he had never seen her dressed so lavishly before.

Beside him, Evelyn saw how captivated Dominic was by Melanie and stomped on his foot in a fit of anger.

Dominic snapped back to reality and glared at Evelyn. It wasn't that he was angry she'd stepped on him; it was that her behavior was completely inappropriate for the occasion, especially in front of Spencer.

“Mr. Halevy, I’m the general manager of the Hale Group and the Hale Health Center. My name is Dominic…”

Dominic took the opportunity to hand Spencer his business card. As Spencer took it, Dominic suddenly wrapped an arm around Melanie's shoulders.

“This is my wife, Melanie.”
