She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 339

It was as if Evelyn only realized that Lila and Dominic were back when she heard Lila’s voice.

She turned her head mechanically to look at Dominic.

“…I’ll leave… I’ll stay far away from you… and Lila… From now on… I will never bother you again…”

Evelyn’s eyes were brimming with tears, and her voice choked with sobs, as if she were giving her last words.

Dominic scratched his head and sighed with a touch of helplessness.

“You don’t have to leave just yet.”

Evelyn’s eyelids lifted.

“At least stay with me and Lila… through the Hale Health Center’s IPO celebration this Saturday.”

“Really?”

Evelyn’s face was a mask of disbelief.

“Of course it’s true! Daddy’s not lying to you, I can promise,” Lila said, patting her chest to guarantee it.

Seeing this, Evelyn’s tears turned to a smile, and she hugged Lila tightly.

“Thank you… for still wanting me around…”

Looking at Evelyn’s tear-streaked and pitiful expression, Dominic couldn’t bring himself to say that he was only letting her stay for the party and that she would still have to leave afterward.

In the end, Dominic just grunted a soft “mm-hmm” and went to his room.

Evelyn watched Dominic’s retreating back, not realizing he was making a hasty retreat.

She wiped her tears and a smile tugged at her lips.

Playing the victim and crying really was the best way to move a man.

See?

When he saw her looking completely hopeless, Dominic couldn’t bear to part with her. Not only was he letting her stay, but he was also taking her to the company’s IPO celebration!

The more Evelyn thought about it, the more she believed she still had a good chance of replacing Melanie.

Around the same time, Melanie also returned home.

What was different from usual was that this time, Preston hadn't buttoned them up meticulously. He had left the top two buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone—pale and elegantly defined.

It was the kind of sight that made you want to stare, to let your imagination wander.

Melanie’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to him.

She noticed that Preston had changed his white silk gloves.

This pair was not wet; you could see how crisp and clean they were without even touching them.

“This is for you.”

As Melanie was staring at Preston, he held out a flat, square box to her.

Melanie didn't hesitate. She took the box and opened it right in front of him.

When she saw what was inside, her long eyelashes fluttered upwards.

“Are you a mind reader? How did you know this is exactly what I need?”
