She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 354

“Mr. Hale, this is Preston.”

When he heard the name, an image of a man’s face naturally formed in Nathaniel’s mind.

The man was young, yet he possessed a mature and steady temperament.

His social standing wasn’t particularly high, but from head to toe, he exuded the oppressive aura of someone in power.

His features were handsome and well-defined, his gaze as cold as ice.

He was unforgettable, not just to the opposite sex, but to men as well.

Holding the phone in one hand, Nathaniel subconsciously picked up the calligraphy brush on his desk with the other.

An exquisite antique calligraphy brush, its handle carved from white jade and gold—a rare relic that once belonged to an emperor. carved with clouds and dragons, once used by an ancient emperor—was a gift from Preston.

Nathaniel was silent for a very long time.

“Mr. Whitmore… although you were at the Hale Group’s celebration and saw my daughter’s scandal, she and her husband are not officially divorced. She is still a married woman.”

“A man of your caliber, Mr. Whitmore, shouldn’t you be worried about your future prospects if you’re constantly involved with a married woman, destroying someone else’s family?”

As Nathaniel spoke, his brow furrowed deeper, and his tone grew sterner.

He was beginning to suspect that the real reason Melanie had gone to such great lengths to divorce Dominic was so she could be with Preston.

“Mr. Hale, you’re mistaken.”

“What?”

“At the Hale Group’s celebration, the person caught in a scandal was Dominic. Melanie was the victim. The two cannot be conflated.”

“The person who destroyed the family wasn’t me, but Dominic and Evelyn.”

“Furthermore, since you so righteously warn me not to get involved with a married woman, it shows you must despise adultery. Therefore, you must be even more disgusted with Dominic, who cheated on his wife with his own adopted sister and had an illegitimate child with her. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a double standard?”

“Applying double standards is what truly ruins a person’s prospects.”

Listening to Preston calmly counter her father, Melanie’s eyes widened.

Preston was quite the talker.

Silence fell on the other end of the line.

Nathaniel’s face was grim; Preston had clearly hit a nerve.

“Tell Melanie I’m waiting for her at the office. Have her come over.”
