She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 351

I never expected this…

Nathaniel’s words cut through Melanie like a bone-chilling wind, leaving her nowhere to hide.

Melanie felt cold.

Her body was cold.

Her heart was even colder.

It made sense, though…

Her own father had cheated on her mother.

That was how Sabrina and Aria, the other woman, had come into their lives.

Instead of empathizing with her, her father would naturally empathize more with Dominic.

Melanie shrugged and smiled, her expression full of self-mockery.

This was her dear father…

She looked away and lowered her gaze to Dominic.

Dominic wasn’t good for much, but he was a master of the pity play.

This act of kneeling in the heavy rain, repenting and begging for forgiveness, would stir pity in anyone who saw it.

“Dominic, I’ve already given you the divorce agreement and the legal documents. Either you sign them and walk away with nothing, or you compensate me with fifty billion dollars…”

“Honey…”

Dominic lifted his pitiful face, his eyes red. The rain on his face mixed with what looked like tears.

“Don’t call me that. It makes me sick.”

“Melanie, have you had enough?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Melanie heard Nathaniel’s scolding again. She lifted the umbrella that was covering her face.

“Dad, if you’re so reluctant to let go of this scumbag, you can marry him yourself. Don’t drag me down with you.”

“You!”

After her sharp retort, Melanie turned and walked away without a second glance, Nathaniel’s furious shouts echoing behind her.

“You ungrateful daughter! You get back here!”

The rain fell harder and harder.

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.

Even though the rain wasn't touching her, Melanie felt chilled to the bone.

Melanie drove to the Eclipse Noir Club.

Daphne was surprised to see Melanie show up in such awful weather.

But one look at Melanie’s face told her that she was in a terrible mood.

An unprecedentedly bad mood.

At times like this, she knew not to ask too many questions.

She knew that Melanie didn’t need to vent or have someone listen.

What she needed was a release and a distraction.

“Come on, Melanie. Let me introduce you to our new star attraction, Caden.”

Daphne shot Caden a look.

Caden immediately poured Melanie a glass of vodka.

“Your drink, ma’am.”

The formal address piqued Melanie’s interest.

His soft hair wasn't styled with wax or slicked back; it fell naturally, lightly textured, making him look both fashionable and sexy.

If there was one thing about this outfit that retained Preston’s usual style, it was the white silk gloves that seemed permanently affixed to his hands.

Caden stood to the side, at a complete loss.

He had never seen Preston before.

And he didn’t remember the club having a host like him.

But…

He didn't dare say a word to Preston.

Because while Preston was dressed like an escort, his aura was anything but.

Years of experience and intuition told him that this man was not to be trifled with, and certainly not to be offended.

Seeing Caden scurry away, Melanie propped her chin on her hand and asked Preston with great interest, “Now what? You scared off the pretty boy I ordered.”

Preston nonchalantly poured Melanie a drink, adding two ice cubes.

“Wasn’t I the one you ordered?”

Preston’s comment made Melanie laugh.

The strong liquor burned its way through her, making her already fuzzy mind even cloudier.

She grabbed Preston’s black tie.

The distance between them vanished in an instant, their noses touching.

“So, pretty boy, how are you planning on taking care of me?” Melanie’s eyes crinkled with mischief, a playful smile on her face.

Preston was silent for a moment. His usually cold, sharp eyes seemed to be stained by the alcohol, gradually revealing a captivating allure and sexiness.

“Whatever you want… I’ll do it.”
