She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 296

“What do you think you’re doing? Wrecking the house?”

Dominic’s voice was sharp as he questioned Evelyn, unable to control his tone.

“Daddy!”

Seeing that Dominic was finally home, Lila immediately rushed toward him with her little arms outstretched.

It wasn't until he held Lila in his arms that Dominic noticed her eyes were so swollen from crying they looked like cherry pits.

“Daddy, I was scared… I… Mommy, she…”

Lila’s words were choppy, her voice still thick with tears.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Daddy’s here now,” Dominic soothed, stroking Lila’s small head.

There was no one else in the house. Camilla wasn’t around, and Dominic guessed Evelyn must have driven her away.

No wonder Lila was so frightened.

Right now, Evelyn did look terrifying.

Her eyes were wide, her sleeves were rolled up, and her hands were on her hips. She looked exactly like a shrew screaming in the streets.

A wave of immense disappointment and disgust washed over Dominic.

He looked at the Evelyn before him, so unfamiliar that for a moment, he was lost in a daze, doubting everything.

The girl who had sucked the venom from his snakebite, who had saved his life at a critical moment, the one whose voice had captivated him before he’d even seen her face…

Was that really Evelyn?

Facing a furious Dominic holding Lila, the fire in Evelyn’s heart surged even higher.

She had been on a rampage at home for two whole days.

Everything in the house had become an outlet for her anger.

She had smashed everything she could get her hands on.

She hadn't spared Lila from her beatings, either.

But it wasn't enough.

Her rage had nowhere to go. It festered in her chest, threatening to burn her alive.

Even now, she couldn't believe it.

Melanie wasn't dead.

She had no desire to be gawked at by reporters and streamers like some monkey in a cage.

Besides, she had more important things to do.

More important people to see.

Clearwater Estate.

This was the Whitmore family’s private land.

At this moment, Preston was lying in a large bed with an IV in his hand.

Much like Melanie, who had been unconscious in the hospital, Preston had also suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning, along with minor burns.

On the way to the hospital, Philip realized that news of Preston's hospitalization could negatively impact Stellaris PharmaTech. He rerouted, taking Preston to the Clearwater Estate and calling in a team of private doctors to treat him.

Preston woke up quickly but was still weak. The doctor advised him to stay at the estate to rest and recover properly.

“Bro, can you believe this crap? You were the one who rushed into that fire and risked your life to save Ms. Royce, but now the whole internet is praising Dominic! Calling him brave, devoted, a true love… It’s freaking disgusting!”

Gabriel Whitmore made a gagging motion.

“I just don’t get how someone can be so shameless! If you ask me, that Dominic guy has gotten a taste of what a good public image can do. Just look at the Hale Group’s stock lately…”
