She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 237

Hearing Lila's praise, Evelyn barely managed to restrain herself from slapping her daughter across the face.

But she couldn't act impulsively.

Tonight was a crucial debut for both her and Lila.

Forcing her anger down, Evelyn saw that both Lila and Dominic were staring at Melanie as if bewitched. She quietly slipped away and made her way over to Bryant's side.

At that moment, Bryant was also watching Melanie.

Although he didn't know Melanie personally, he knew who she was.

Evelyn had mentioned Melanie a few times during their casual chats.

Bryant knew that Melanie was Dominic's wife and the head of Hale Health Center's new anti-cancer drug project.

However, he'd been told she was someone with no real talent, who relied on underhanded tactics to steal credit from others.

Evelyn and Bryant were high school alumni.

Bryant had once had a crush on Evelyn for a while.

At the time, Evelyn was always top of her year in math, and Bryant found her brilliant.

Plus, she had large, soulful eyes, and every time their gazes met, he got the impression she was looking at him with affection.

So, for a time, Bryant had really liked Evelyn.

But now, so many years later, his schoolboy crush had long since faded. He now simply regarded Evelyn as a close friend and former schoolmate.

When Evelyn had pleaded with him to give the advanced bioinformatics analysis and health model construction portion of Project NovaGate to Hale Health Center, he had actually been hesitant.

Project NovaGate was a high-priority project for their biological data center.
