She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 337

Today, however, Evelyn was nowhere to be seen.

“Daddy…”

On Dominic’s other side, Lila asked timidly, her voice trembling slightly.

“…Where’s Mommy?”

“Hush!”

Dominic shot her a harsh glare, and Lila immediately realized she had said the wrong thing.

But…

Of all the people present, the only one she couldn’t find was her own mother, Evelyn.

Although her mother had been very irritable lately, quick to either hit or scold her, Lila still felt a sense of insecurity without Evelyn around.

“Your mom isn’t feeling well, she’s resting at home… Besides, from now on, you’ll be adopted by your aunt and me, so your aunt will be your mother now.”

“I don’t want to!” Lila refused flatly.

Dominic’s expression grew even more frightening.

“What do you mean you don’t want to? You don’t want me to be your dad anymore?”

“Of course I want you as my dad, but… but…”

Lila pouted, her expression full of grievance as she secretly glanced at Melanie with a hint of caution and rejection.

Melanie smiled faintly and took a sugar-free lollipop from her handbag.

“Lila, would it be so bad if I were your mother from now on?”

Lila took the lollipop from Melanie’s hand and nodded hesitantly.

“Well… I guess it’s okay…”

As she ate the sweet lollipop, an inexplicable sense of unease still lingered in Lila’s heart.

As her aunt, Melanie wasn’t as bad as her mother often claimed. She even bought her candy.

But…

She just found Melanie a little scary.

“Melanie is so incredibly attentive... She even noticed the small details, like making sure the treats were healthy for a child,” Gregory praised Melanie generously. Beside him, Nathaniel nodded repeatedly, beaming with pride.

Although Camilla wasn’t particularly fond of Melanie, the current Melanie was brilliant and capable. The new anti-cancer drug she was in charge of had helped the Hale Health Center go public. She was a great asset to her husband.
