She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 430

Evelyn had just stepped into the hospital room with Lila when they were met with Dominic's furious string of curses.

"...Dominic?"

She called out cautiously.

Dominic whipped his head around, his eyes locking onto Evelyn and Lila.

The moment their gazes met, a chill shot straight through Evelyn's heart.

She clearly remembered how he used to look at her.

The absolute adoration and spoiling in his eyes back then had been undeniable.

But now...

"What are you doing here?"

Dominic spat, his tone glacial.

"I... I came to see you, of course..."

"See me?"

Dominic cut her off with a bitter scoff.

"See what? See how pathetic my life has become?"

"No, Dominic, please..."

"Don't play innocent with me! You weren't acting like family when you decided to seduce me behind my wife's back!"

Pointed at and screamed at so viciously, Evelyn's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Daddy, Mommy, please don't fight..."

Lila pleaded, her small voice trembling with a sob.

"Get out! I'm not your father!"

Dominic roared at the two of them, thrashing like a cornered beast.

"My life is destroyed because of you two!"

The more he dwelled on it, the more his rage consumed him, leaving him no outlet but to unleash it all onto Evelyn and Lila.

If Evelyn hadn't come into the picture, if Lila had never existed, Melanie would have never filed for divorce.

His own startup wouldn't have gone bankrupt.

He wouldn't have been ripped to shreds on the internet or blacklisted by the entire industry.

Look at him now: his company was gone, his career was in ashes, his marriage was over, his wife had run off with another man, and he was stuck recovering in a miserable hospital bed.

Suddenly, an unbidden image of Melanie and Preston kissing flashed through his mind.

She stared blankly down the hallway, her hollow gaze reflecting absolutely nothing.

Evelyn thought...

God was incredibly unfair.

She had been born in Belvaria, abandoned by her parents when she was practically a baby.

She had been raised by her grandmother, who passed away shortly after. Penniless and completely alone, she was forced to drop out of middle school and enter the brutal workforce, hustling in odd jobs just to survive.

Women like Melanie, born with a silver spoon in their mouths, would never comprehend her suffering.

It was exactly because she had been trampled at the absolute bottom of society that she had to claw her way up.

It was why she understood the true power of money.

Hooking Dominic had been entirely the result of her own calculating hustle and hard work!

She remembered back when she was working at a tourist trap, scoping out the crowds every single day for a wealthy man who could drag her out of her miserable life.

She was a middle-school dropout back then—young, vulnerable, and beautiful.

It wasn't as though wealthy older men hadn't shown interest in her at the shop.

But Evelyn had deemed them far beneath her standards.
