She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 249

For a moment, Melanie felt a sense of déjà vu, as if this scene had happened before.

She vaguely recalled going to Quarevia four years ago, under the guise of a casual getaway, to secretly investigate her mother’s accident.

There, she had also met someone who had been beaten.

But it wasn't a little girl.

It was a man.

He was about her age, but he had been beaten black and blue.

He never told her who did it.

And she never asked.

At first, she had acted on a whim, wanting to give the man some ointment to reduce the swelling and treat his injuries.

But the man’s face had given her a huge shock.

Four years had passed, and she could no longer remember his face clearly.

But the hideous, terrifying birthmark on his face was still fresh in her memory.

That was also the first time she had tried to develop a medicine to remove birthmarks.

It had a fifty-fifty chance of success, and to this day, she still didn't know if it had worked.

Even if it had, Melanie felt it would be impossible for her to recognize the man now.

She remembered letting him stay in her rental for a few days and making him beef stew.

As Melanie thought back, more details came to mind.

She seemed to recall offering him a peach soda, but he hadn't drunk it, thinking it was strange to pair beef stew with peach soda.

Thinking about it now, it seemed only Preston shared that same eating habit.

Lost in the hazy memories of four years ago, Melanie felt a growing sense of fear.

How could she have been so bold back then!

What if he had been a bad person, or a psychopath who had taken the opportunity to kill her?

Melanie shivered, thinking how reckless and lucky she had been.

“Ma’am…”

Just then, Elina’s pitiful voice pulled Melanie back from her memories.

“I… I…”
