She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 284

Evelyn knew it. Dominic wasn't that heartless.

Thinking back, she had to admit that she had caused Dominic a lot of trouble since moving to Averin.

On top of that, the incident with Lila had crossed his line.

That was why Dominic had said such harsh things to her last night.

At first, Evelyn had been seething with anger, unable to calm down.

She couldn't accept that the relationship she had carefully cultivated with Dominic for years could be so easily trampled by Melanie.

But later, she managed to think things through more clearly.

The reason Dominic had been so angry was also because of Lila.

And Lila... was the child she had borne for Dominic.

If Dominic cared about Lila, it meant he cared about her.

If Dominic truly didn't love her anymore, he wouldn't have been so fixated on her using Lila.

The more she thought this way, the more Evelyn forced herself to calm down.

This was a critical moment; she couldn't afford to panic.

Evelyn could feel the scales in Dominic's heart already tipping toward Melanie.

So she had to do something.

Sitting back and doing nothing would only mean that her years of effort would be wasted, all for naught.

In the end, after much thought, Evelyn chose to slit her wrists.

And she really did it. If the act wasn't convincing enough, she was afraid Dominic wouldn't take the bait.

But she couldn't just slit her wrists at home where no one would know.

What if no one found her and got her to the hospital in time? She would actually die.

So, Evelyn thought of Gavin.

She had called Gavin out to drink with her, intending to get completely wasted.

Then, she slit her wrist right in front of him.

The image of blood gushing out was seared into Gavin's eyes.

She was sure no one could question the authenticity of her suicide attempt now.

Sure enough, Gavin had brought Dominic to her.

In Evelyn's memory, Dominic rarely looked as disheveled as he did now.
