She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 269

"Why would I take back the kind of trash who wants to have his cake and eat it too? It's disgusting."

"That's a relief. Trash belongs in the garbage."

"Which is why Dominic and Evelyn… are a perfect match."

After Melanie spoke, she saw Daphne raise her milkshake cup.

"To that, cheers!"

Melanie chuckled and clinked her glass against Daphne's.

"You go ahead, I'll just sip."

Daphne laughed too, then actually raised her cup and chugged the entire milkshake in one go, feeling immensely satisfied.

Meanwhile, Dominic returned to Rosecrest Villas, holding a large bouquet.

He had bought the fresh roses specifically for Evelyn.

After cooling down and thinking it over, Dominic felt he had been too harsh on Evelyn at the mall.

In the past, when he had gone shopping with both Melanie and Evelyn, he would always buy two of everything so as not to offend either of them.

Today, he'd been provoked.

After all, no man could stand the thought of other men constantly coveting his wife.

When he got home, Lila was already asleep.

But Evelyn was not.

Seeing Dominic hand her a large bouquet, Evelyn scoffed.

"So, you got shot down by Melanie and now you remember to come crawling back to me? Let me tell you, Dominic, I'm not that cheap!"

With a sharp noise, Evelyn threw the bouquet he gave her onto the floor.

Tonight had been the most humiliating experience of her life.

First, she was publicly slapped by Melanie's friend. Then, when Dominic arrived, not only did he not stand up for her, but he even helped Melanie snatch the dress she wanted.

The way Dominic had been sucking up to Melanie was so disgusting it made her want to vomit.

And after all that humiliation, Dominic thought he could just brush her off with a bouquet of flowers?

"If you can't show me some real remorse, I'm taking Lila and going back to Bresford tomorrow!"

Evelyn delivered her ultimatum with steely resolve.

The living room fell silent.

In stark contrast to Evelyn's hysterics, Dominic was unusually quiet.

Dominic kept his head down, remaining silent for a long, long time.

Seeing him like this, Evelyn felt a surge of triumph.

She knew it. He couldn't bear to lose her.

Even if his pride made him side with Melanie to prove a point, in his heart, she would always be his one true love.

All she had to do was threaten to leave, and he would surely beg her to stay.

A victorious smile spread across Evelyn's face.

Just then, Dominic looked up.

"You're right… You should go back to Bresford and take some time to cool off…"

Evelyn froze, completely stunned.

What was Dominic saying?

He wanted her to leave?!

Blinking, Evelyn wondered if she had misheard.

Meeting her shocked gaze, Dominic's expression was calm. It was clear this wasn't a rash decision, but something he had carefully considered.

"You should go back to Bresford. But Lila doesn't have to. She can stay here and continue with her preschool. Melanie and I can take care of her."
