She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 348

“If you won’t do this with dignity, we’ll take it to court. And when we do, you’ll be paying me fifty billion dollars in the settlement!”

Melanie’s voice was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Dominic’s legs gave out, and he almost buckled to his knees.

“Melanie! You ungrateful wretch! After how well the Hale family has treated you, you’re divorcing Dominic? And you dare demand fifty billion? I hope you choke on it!”

Camilla, furious, grabbed a nearby vase and hurled it at Melanie.

A dull thud echoed as the vase struck someone squarely in the back.

Melanie found herself pressed against a broad, warm chest, the steady, powerful rhythm of his heart thrumming against her ear.

“Preston, are you okay?”

Tilting her head up, Melanie looked at Preston, who was now inches away.

His expression seemed untroubled, but the vase Camilla had thrown was large and the impact was forceful. Melanie was still worried.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Melanie’s face was reflected in Preston’s deep eyes.

That face, so beautiful it made his heart race.

And the thought of her plotting all this alone made his heart ache for her.

Preston’s gaze swept over Melanie, checking her from head to toe.

More than his own well-being, he was concerned about whether she had been hurt.

“Well, well, Melanie. You have the nerve to talk about me cheating when you and this guy are clearly involved, aren’t you?”

Watching Preston rush onto the stage in front of everyone, pull Melanie into his arms, and shield her, Dominic felt like his brain was about to explode.

“If you two weren’t involved, would he be so protective of you? Melanie, how did I never realize what a common slut you are!”

As soon as Dominic’s hysterical shout ended, Preston raised his fist, ready to swing.

Crack!

The sharp sound of a slap silenced the entire hall.

Dominic was stunned—

Stunned by Melanie’s blow.

Just as Preston was about to punch Dominic, Melanie had stepped forward and slapped him first.

“Melanie, you’ve gone too far! My brother’s life is ruined because of you... You heartless bitch!!”

No sooner had Evelyn defended Dominic than she, too, received a slap from Melanie.

“This is what you two deserve!”

Melanie stood on the stage, her presence overpowering everyone in the room.
