She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 234

Dominic’s intention was to reason with Lila.

But the more he tried, the harder Lila cried.

“Evelyn, come over here and talk to Lila.”

Frustrated by Lila’s crying, Dominic handed the phone to Evelyn.

Evelyn didn’t take it.

Dominic’s expression immediately changed, and he put the phone on speaker.

“Lila, your mom wants to talk to you.”

Even after hearing Dominic say this, Evelyn remained silent.

Dominic was growing impatient.

Just then, Melanie’s calm voice came through the speakerphone, “Don’t blame Lila. I’m the one who told her she could call you that.”

“What?”

Dominic was shocked.

Evelyn’s eyes widened as well.

“When Lila and I were having dinner, she told me about a child at her kindergarten whose parents are divorced and who doesn’t have a father. She was very sad and said she wanted a father, so I told her she could call her uncle ‘Dad’…”

“She’s still little, after all. There’s no harm in it. As long as Lila is happy, that's what matters. A child’s mental health is the most important thing.”

After hearing Melanie’s explanation, Dominic was so moved his eyes welled up.

He never would have imagined that Melanie could be so considerate of Lila’s feelings.

Lila was incredibly moved as well.

Her mommy had said her aunt was a bad person, but now she felt that her aunt was the only one who was truly nice to her.

The only person with reservations was Evelyn.

What was Melanie doing?

Evelyn remained silent, lost in thought.

She had used Lila to cause trouble for Melanie several times before. There was no way Melanie didn’t hold a grudge. So why would she treat Lila to dinner and even allow her to call Dominic ‘Dad’?

Evelyn racked her brain but couldn’t come up with an answer.

Gradually, Dominic would also be subtly influenced into thinking that he, she, and Lila were a real family and should be together openly and legitimately.

“Since Melanie has agreed, then Dominic can be Lila’s father from now on.”

“It’s all for the child’s sake, so of course, it’s no problem.”

Hearing Melanie agree so readily, Dominic couldn’t help but praise her. “You are so magnanimous and tolerant, Melanie. I’m the luckiest man alive to have such a wonderful wife.”

“You’re making me blush.”

Melanie uttered the disingenuous words without batting an eye.

After hanging up, Dominic was still glowing with happiness.

“Evelyn, you should learn from Melanie and be a little more tolerant… The company is preparing to go public soon, and we can’t afford any mistakes. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Having been scolded by Dominic, Evelyn didn’t say a word and turned to leave his office.

Dominic opened his mouth, wanting to say more, but she was already gone. There was no point in talking to the empty air.

Taking a deep breath, Dominic sat down in his executive chair, an unexplainable sense of unease creeping into his heart.
