She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 245

“About the flaws you mentioned earlier… I’d like to hear your specific insights. They would be extremely useful for Project NovaGate.”

Bryant’s words were sincere, and Melanie relaxed slightly.

She realized that the sudden change in his attitude and the burning look in his eyes were because he recognized her professional abilities in pharmaceuticals.

If it was just about work and the project, Melanie really had no reason to refuse.

With that, she took a glass of champagne from him, and they walked over to the dessert table together.

Not far away, Dominic watched Melanie and Bryant talking and laughing, not even noticing that the french fries he was stuffing into his mouth were dipped in hot sauce instead of ketchup.

“Look at her, acting like a little seductress. Do you still think she’s doing all this for the Hale Health Center?”

Evelyn’s grating voice made Dominic, who was already in a foul mood, even more irritated.

Seeing that Dominic was just frowning and not saying anything, Evelyn pouted, feeling defiant.

“Melanie doesn’t care about the Hale Group at all. She’s only working so hard on the new cancer drug for herself. Just like how she seduced the CEO of the Halevy Group, then got involved with Adrian Mercer, and now she won’t even leave Bryant alone, a man she just met who had a terrible impression of her… She’s clearly using her looks to make business deals.”

“Enough!”

Suddenly, Dominic let out a low growl.

“Can you just stop talking? Look at where we are.”

Evelyn was stunned.

Melanie was the one embarrassing him, but she was the one getting yelled at?

How was that fair?!

Just as Evelyn was about to open her mouth to argue, Dominic was already striding away from her.

He walked right up to where Melanie and Bryant were standing.

“Mommy…”

Beside her, Lila’s small voice piped up as she tugged on Evelyn’s sleeve.

“Is Daddy mad? Mommy, please don’t make Daddy mad, okay? What if he doesn’t want me anymore?”

Although Evelyn thought Lila was being spineless, she had no choice but to comfort her in this setting.

“Don’t worry, Lila. Your dad would never abandon you. You’re his only child. Once you become a big star, he’ll be even more attached to you.”

As Evelyn said this, a strange confidence surged within her.

That’s right!

She still had Lila.
