She Left, She Thrived, She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 34

The thick scent of gunpowder in the air made even the sales associates steer clear.

Seeing that Melanie hadn’t said a word, Evelyn pulled Dominic over to the display.

“Dominic, I love this. Buy it for me!”

“But…”

Dominic glanced at Melanie, neither agreeing nor refusing. He knew full well that every hair accessory in this store was one-of-a-kind. If he bought it for Evelyn, Melanie wouldn’t be able to get it.

Seeing Dominic hesitate, Evelyn immediately turned to Melanie. “You’re not going to fight me for this, are you, Melanie? I’m the Hale Group’s greatest asset right now…”

At Evelyn’s words, Dominic seized the opportunity to continue. “Yes, Evelyn has a point… How about this? Neither of you has to fight over it. Lila is starting preschool soon, so I’ll just give this hair accessory to her as a gift.”

“That’s a great idea. You wouldn’t want to snatch something from a child, would you, Melanie?”

Meeting Evelyn’s aggressive gaze, Melanie sneered inwardly.

A four-year-old child wearing a hair accessory worth nearly a hundred thousand dollars?

Only Dominic could come up with such a lame excuse.

Saying it was a preschool gift for Lila was just another way of buying it for Evelyn.

Melanie’s eyes turned cold, and she was about to speak when a sales associate timidly approached them.

“I’m very sorry, but this hair accessory… was already reserved by someone else.”

“Who? Did they pay for it?”

Evelyn’s question left the associate speechless.

“Hmph, if he didn’t pay, how can it be considered reserved? I don’t care, I’m buying this hair accessory today!”

Faced with Evelyn’s aggressive attitude, the associate had no choice but to scurry off to ask the store manager.

The other party hadn’t paid, but they were not someone the store could afford to offend.

The manager listened to the associate, came over to apologize to Evelyn, and then promptly left the boutique.

Meanwhile, Gabriel was strolling on the same floor.

He had just closed a business deal and was casually shopping for a gift for his girlfriend.

Just then, an unfamiliar woman approached him but was stopped by his bodyguards.

“Excuse me for interrupting, Mr. Whitmore. I’m the manager of the DFKC boutique…”

After introducing herself, she explained her reason for being there.

It turned out someone wanted to buy the hair accessory he had expressed interest in earlier.
