She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 319

The new cancer drug was a success.

The data had already been submitted. Once it passed the on-site inspection phase, it could be officially launched and enter the market.

Dominic closed his eyes tightly.

He could already envision the Hale Health Center going public, its stock price soaring. Not only would the Hale Group be raking in money, but their social status would also rise, perhaps even to rival the Whitmore family of Stellaris PharmaTech.

Melanie silently watched Dominic’s enraptured face.

A faint, genuine smile graced her lips.

The new cancer drug she had promised Elias Carter was finally developed. Not only were the costs significantly reduced, but its efficacy was also remarkably enhanced.

All of this was thanks to the massive funding provided by the Hale Group.

When Dominic opened his eyes again and saw the smile on Melanie’s face, he couldn’t help but smile back.

“Honey…” Dominic grabbed Melanie’s hand.

Melanie felt a wave of nausea, but she had to keep up appearances.

“Now… that our company is about to take off, there’s something… I’d like to discuss with you.”

“What is it?”

Melanie feigned calmness, but her mind was racing, wondering what new nonsense Dominic would come up with at this critical juncture.

Back when she first discovered his affair with her adoptive sister, after the car accident that landed her in the hospital, Dominic had also said he had something to discuss with her.

My suggestion to adopt Lila is also for you… so you can finally experience the joy of motherhood.

Melanie was certain that whatever Dominic wanted to discuss this time wouldn’t be good news either.

“Honey… let’s adopt Lila!”

Melanie’s eyes lifted.

Dominic had actually been thinking about this for a long time.

He had no intention of divorcing Melanie.

But Lila was his flesh and blood, and he had always wanted to give her a complete family.

“Evelyn… she’ll definitely agree. I’m her older brother. You think I can’t make a decision for her?”

Dominic’s words lacked real confidence.

However, as the adopted daughter of the Hale family, Evelyn had even less standing to refuse any of their arrangements.

“I’ll have my dad talk to her about it. She won’t dare to disagree,” Dominic assured Melanie.

“Great! Then let’s announce the adoption on the day the company goes public. It’ll have more of a ceremonial feel.”

“…Huh? We have to announce it publicly?” Dominic didn’t quite follow.

“Of course! Otherwise, where’s the ceremonial feel?”

“Ah, right, right. Whatever you say.”

Inside the office, Dominic was fawning all over Melanie.

Outside the office, Evelyn had overheard every word, biting her lower lip so hard it bled.
