She Left, She Thrived, She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 35

Elsewhere, sitting in his luxury car, Gabriel heard his assistant report that Melanie had accepted the hair accessory.

“Sir, who is this Ms. Royce…?”

“It’s nothing. I’m just buttering up my future sister-in-law.”

The sky was growing dark as the city lights began to twinkle.

Originally, Evelyn had planned for Dominic to take her on a shopping spree, followed by a trip to the rooftop for a boat ride, a view of the light show, and a romantic candlelight dinner in the scenic garden.

But now, after the incident with the hair accessory, she was in no mood for any of it.

As they took the elevator down, Melanie couldn’t resist pulling out her phone to send a message to Preston.

[Melanie: You sent that to me?]

A moment later, she received Preston’s reply. He was clearly confused.

Melanie was just as baffled.

And so, the three of them—Melanie, Dominic, and Evelyn—left the Haverford Crown Hotel, one after another.

Suddenly, Melanie’s phone rang.

The caller ID showed ‘Camilla’—

Her mother-in-law.

Melanie frowned, a sense of foreboding washing over her.

“Uh… hello? Mom…”

As soon as Dominic heard Melanie on the phone, he stopped in his tracks.

He knew Melanie’s biological mother had passed away long ago, and Melanie never called Nathaniel Royce’s new wife “Mom.”

Therefore, the call had to be from his own mother.

Beside him, Evelyn couldn’t help but let a smirk grace her lips.

“…Okay, okay… I understand. I’ll be right there.”

Hanging up, Melanie looked at Dominic.

“Mom wants us to go over now.”

She didn’t say for dinner, nor did she specify why.

“Alright…” Dominic said, then looked at Evelyn. “Evelyn, you should come with us.”

“Okay!” Evelyn agreed instantly.

Of course she was going.
