She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 277

Furthermore, from start to finish, whether she was administering first aid to Lila or refuting Evelyn’s accusations, Melanie remained composed and unruffled.

She possessed an unflappable composure, as if she were the calm center of a storm, completely unfazed by the chaos erupting around her.

Evelyn, in contrast, started speaking faster every time Melanie pointed out a discrepancy. She couldn’t keep her cool, looking more like someone lashing out in anger after their scheme was exposed.

To the onlookers, it seemed like a classic “he said, she said” situation, a stalemate.

Suddenly, a distinctive, magnetic voice cut through the crowd.

“I have evidence… that proves the person who drugged Lila was this woman, Ms. Evelyn.”

Melanie didn’t know if others recognized the voice.

All she knew was that it was very familiar to her.

When Preston emerged from the crowd, it was like an international superstar had appeared, capturing everyone’s attention.

It’s that model guy?!

Seeing Preston, Dominic’s heart leaped into his throat.

Preston looked the same as always: a black suit, a black shirt, and a pair of white gloves.

His attire alone was eye-catching enough, but combined with his devastatingly handsome face and commanding presence, it was hard for him to go unnoticed anywhere.

Seeing Preston, Evelyn also grew inexplicably nervous.

He was just some model, yet she felt an immense pressure.

“You say you have evidence? What evidence?” Evelyn challenged him publicly.

She couldn’t afford to look like she was losing her nerve.

She had secretly planted the bottle in Melanie’s bag while wearing gloves, so there would be no fingerprints. She had already thrown the gloves in a trash can.

Preston wouldn’t go digging through the trash, would he?

And even if he did, he couldn’t prove the gloves were hers, much less that she was the one who had drugged Lila.

No matter how she thought about it, Evelyn didn’t believe Preston could possibly produce any real evidence.

It was the same tactic: bluffing Evelyn into exposing herself.

But she hadn’t been as successful as he was.

While Melanie felt a twinge of frustration, she also felt a genuine admiration for Preston.

His presence was just too powerful.

Even as a regular employee of a Stellaris PharmaTech subsidiary, his words carried a terrifying weight that compelled belief.

It was this overwhelming aura that had made Evelyn so desperate to defend herself that she had let the truth slip.

More and more onlookers caught on, and they began to point and whisper at Evelyn.

Evelyn realized things were bad. At first, she tried to explain, but the more she spoke, the guiltier she sounded.

“No… it’s not like that… It was Melanie! Melanie did it!”

Frantic and furious, Evelyn finally cast a pleading look at Dominic.
