She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 334

It was daytime in Jastoria.

Preston was in a meeting. He saw the text from Gabriel but didn’t reply.

Forty minutes earlier, just as the meeting was about to start, he had received another text from Gabriel: [CODE RED! Bro, some guy is trying to make a move on our girl!]

When Preston saw that message, he had been a split second away from turning off his phone.

Fortunately, before he did, he saw the image Gabriel had sent. It was a photo of Melanie, Bryant, and Elina sitting at a table together.

Preston’s expression changed instantly. A moment later, Gabriel sent him a short video. In it, Melanie was smiling as she accepted the flowers from Bryant. Ninety-nine pink roses, each one looking like a thorn in Preston’s eyes.

Preston could guess why Melanie was having dinner with Bryant and Elina. The new anti-cancer drug she was in charge of had captured sixty percent of the market share right after its launch, forcing the two biggest competitors in the field into bankruptcy and acquisition by the Carter Group. Such an outstanding achievement was certainly worth celebrating.

However… Preston hadn’t asked Melanie out to celebrate. He knew, deep down, that for Melanie, the time wasn’t right.

But… staring at the video Gabriel sent, Preston's expression hardened, a stormy shadow crossing his eyes.

The change in his expression terrified the other company executives who were about to start the meeting with him. They all began whispering among themselves, their hearts pounding with uncertainty.

This time, as soon as Gabriel sent the text, he got a reply from Preston: [I didn’t sign it.]

“Oh, he didn’t sign it, no wonder…” Gabriel muttered to himself, before the realization hit him. His brother didn’t sign it?! “What if my future sister-in-law thinks it’s from her jerk husband?” Gabriel lamented, pounding his chest.

Watching Gabriel’s antics, his business partner wondered if he should call for an ambulance, though he wasn't sure if they handled psychiatric emergencies.

While Melanie, Bryant, and Elina were having dinner, Dominic was with Gavin. They were drinking their sorrows away at The Velvet Orchid. To be precise, only Dominic was drinking his sorrows away.

In the VIP room, Gavin looked at the heavily intoxicated Dominic with a look of utter frustration. Lately, almost every time Dominic asked him out, it was to get drunk.
