She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 253

But she did know how much Bryant had initially despised Melanie.

“Evelyn…” Dominic’s face was dark as he asked gravely, “You said Melanie slept with Bryant. Do you have any proof?”

“No,” Evelyn answered unequivocally.

Dominic frowned, and Evelyn continued, “You know how much he hated Melanie. At the masquerade ball, he and Melanie were at each other’s throats. But what did Melanie do?”

Dominic remained silent.

“She danced with him.”

Dominic was still silent.

“This project originally had nothing to do with her, yet she managed to become the project lead for the ambassador selection. If it wasn't by sleeping her way to the top, how else could she have done it? What else could make a man who hated her suddenly start taking orders from her?”

“Alright, that’s enough. Stop talking. Melanie isn’t that kind of person…”

Before Dominic could finish, he heard Evelyn’s cold laugh.

“Keep telling yourself that!”

With that, she grabbed Lila’s hand and walked out without looking back. Lila kept turning around, crying out “Daddy,” only to be scolded into more tears by Evelyn.

The room felt cold and empty after they left. Dominic sat alone in the private room, his mind in turmoil.

Evelyn’s words weren’t entirely without reason.

But…

Had Melanie really cheated on him?

Slept with Bryant just to gain control over the brand ambassador selection and replace Lila?

No matter how he thought about it, Dominic felt Melanie wouldn't go that far.

Besides, Melanie loved him.

After much thought, Dominic couldn’t resist and gave Melanie a call.

But before it could connect, he hung up and sent a text message instead.

He cared about this not because of love, but because Melanie was his lawfully wedded wife.

His palm was slick with sweat by the time he finally received Melanie’s reply.

Melanie sent a long text, explaining in detail how she had earned Bryant’s appreciation and become a project consultant. She also laid out how the genetic screening system had eliminated Lila from the list of candidates.

The entire process was transparent and verifiable through the system; it wasn’t some backroom deal on her part.

Realizing Melanie hadn't targeted Evelyn and Lila, and certainly wouldn't sleep with Bryant over something so trivial, Dominic relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking at Melanie…

And then thinking of Evelyn…

Dominic couldn't help but shake his head, disappointed by Evelyn’s pettiness and sharp tongue.

This time, he felt confident enough to call Melanie, no longer afraid he would lose control of his emotions and say something irreversible.

“Hello? Melanie…”
