She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 236

At the masquerade ball, there was no shortage of female guests like Evelyn and Lila who chose to dress as Disney princesses. After all, what woman didn't harbor a dream of being one?

However, Evelyn felt that none of their dresses were as magnificent, exquisite, or authentic as hers.

Her and Lila's outfits had been custom-made for them by a designer Dominic had hired. They had cost a pretty penny and served as a reward for her securing the new project.

In Evelyn's eyes, it was as if she and Lila had truly stepped into the story of Cinderella. Though not born of high society, they were set to stun everyone at the ball and make a spectacular debut.

Until—

Melanie appeared at the masquerade ball.

"Look, who is that?"

"Damn, she's gorgeous!"

"But isn't it a bit… over the top?"

"Who is she supposed to be…"

"Cleopatra, I think!"

When Evelyn saw Melanie walk into the venue, the smile on her face instantly froze.

"Melanie…"

Dominic was stunned.

"What is she doing here?"

Dominic hadn't told Melanie about the masquerade ball tonight.

This was because Evelyn had been the one to secure the partnership; it was her project.

Lately, Evelyn had been targeting Melanie a little too aggressively.

With Hale Health Center about to go public, Dominic was worried that having Evelyn and Melanie appear in public together would escalate their conflict and cause unnecessary trouble.

So, he had chosen to only bring Evelyn and Lila to the event tonight.

Unexpectedly, it was as if fate had a hand in it. No matter how hard he tried to avoid it, he couldn't.

Dominic held his wine glass, his eyes fixed on Melanie as she walked in, getting closer and closer.

What he didn't know was that Melanie's invitation had actually come from Evelyn.

Melanie had known nothing about the masquerade ball.

But before she left work, she had received the invitation.
