She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 368

Today, on the manicured lawns outside Crescent Ridge Estate, Nathaniel had invited numerous industry partners to a grand welcome party for Aria.

Aria hadn't officially graduated yet, but she was the only intern from Cyranth University participating in the revolutionary cold medicine project.

This made both Nathaniel and Sabrina exceptionally proud.

Carrying two glasses of champagne, Dominic approached Melanie.

Melanie had been sitting in a corner the whole time, eating cake, a clear “do not disturb” expression on her face.

But even though she was keeping a low profile, she still stood out as the most striking woman at the party.

“Honey, you look beautiful today.”

Dominic offered one of the champagne glasses to Melanie.

He was wearing a crisp, tailored white suit and had clearly gone to a salon to get his hair styled, all in an effort to dazzle her at the party.

However, Melanie didn’t even glance at him, nor did she take the champagne. She just kept eating her cake, speaking as if he wasn't there.

“Mr. Hale, we’re divorced. Calling me that is sexual harassment.”

Dominic was stung by her sharp retort.

“We’re still in the waiting period, it’s not officially final…”

“So, are you planning to go to the clerk's office to withdraw the divorce application and prepare to pay me the fifty-billion-dollar divorce settlement?”

Melanie said it casually, but her words hit Dominic right where it hurt.

The Hale Group, in its current state, couldn’t produce fifty billion dollars, let alone fifty million.

Where was he supposed to get the money to pay her settlement?

That was precisely why he had no choice but to agree to the divorce in the first place.

Dominic felt a tightness in his chest, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

He recalled how, in the four years they were married, he had rarely called her “honey.”

Now he wanted to…

But Melanie wasn't giving him the chance.

He took a sip of champagne. He couldn’t taste the rich aroma of the wine, only a bitter taste that filled his mouth.
