She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 346

An uproar erupted in the grand hall.

Dominic felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Evelyn panicked too, her face flushing then paling in an instant.

Lila, at a loss, instinctively hid behind Evelyn.

In the audience, Camilla, Bryant, Gabriel, and the others were all aghast.

Gregory remained relatively calm, his eyes showing no surprise, only fury and suspicion directed at Melanie.

Amidst the collective shock of the room, only Melanie and Preston remained composed, a ghost of a triumphant smile playing on their lips.

Preston rarely smiled, but at this moment, the corners of his lips were turned up, his eyes narrowed, and a glint of excitement shone within them.

“Honey…”

On stage, Dominic looked at Melanie in disbelief. Just as he started to speak, the large screen behind him suddenly lit up.

“Daddy!”

Lila’s clear voice rang out from the screen.

Everyone saw the video playing.

It was a clip of Dominic at an amusement park with Evelyn and Lila.

Dominic had one arm around Evelyn’s shoulder and the other holding Lila, planting a kiss on her little cheek.

“Daddy loves you and Mommy the most! We’re the happiest family of three!”

The intimate scene and those words on the screen undeniably confirmed what Melanie had said.

More and more guests began to point and whisper about Dominic and Evelyn.

“No, it’s not like that… It’s not what you’re seeing… Evelyn is my foster sister. We’re close, but it’s just the affection between a brother and sister. And Lila… she’s my niece. Melanie was the one who said she could call me ‘daddy’…”

Dominic explained frantically, his eyes pleading with Melanie for help.

But the moment their eyes met, a chill ran down his spine.

Melanie’s gaze was so calm, so cold, as if to say:

You deserve this.

Suddenly, a series of memories flashed through Dominic’s mind like a whirlwind—

“Dominic, Melanie’s accident happened on the highway between Averin and Bresford. Do you think… she might already know?”

“Know what?”

…

Dominic’s body suddenly staggered.

His eyes were wide and bloodshot as he stared at Melanie in shock.

“So… you knew all along…”

“You’ve been deliberately plotting against me this whole time!”

Watching Dominic’s shocked and desperate eyes, a brilliant smile slowly spread across Melanie’s exquisitely made-up face.

By now, the guests were in an uproar.

Gregory and Camilla were desperately trying to calm everyone down and explain.

“You’ve misunderstood. Dominic and Evelyn’s relationship is truly just that of a brother and sister.”

“Not brother and sister…”

Suddenly, Hazel’s piercing voice cut through the noise.

“Evelyn is just Dominic’s adopted sister. They have no blood relation. Such close proximity… No wonder Mr. Hale went to such lengths to adopt his sister’s daughter. Turns out he wanted his wife to raise the child he had with his mistress. Wow. That’s just vicious.”
