She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 437

Summoning every ounce of her courage, Melanie led Everett into the room under the heavy, unfriendly stares of the surrounding men.

The two guards quickly reported the circumstances of their capture to the leader.

Melanie immediately noticed that the boss of the Silverward Brotherhood was sitting in a wheelchair.

"You're running from the Black Viper Syndicate, and you decided to seek asylum on my turf?" the leader asked, his gaze sharp as he studied her.

"Yes."

Melanie gave a firm nod, her expression resolute.

The leader let out a cold, mocking laugh.

"And what makes you think I'll protect you?"

"Because the Silverward Brotherhood... is known as the most honorable local organization around Ravencrest Mountain. You don't target women and children..."

"That just means I won't kill you. It doesn't mean I'll protect you."

He cut her off dismissively and shot a look at his men.

"Throw them out. Whether they live or die is none of our concern."

One of the leader's closest subordinates stepped forward to grab Melanie.

Suddenly, her voice rang out, clear and unwavering, echoing across the massive room.

"Your legs... I can heal them."

The air in the room seemed to freeze for a split second before erupting into roaring laughter.

"Hahaha! This little girl's got nerve!"

"The boss has had multiple surgeries on those legs and none of them worked, and she thinks she can fix them?"

"She's really pushing her luck just because we don't hit women!"

"Listen, sweetheart, we might not kill women, but if you keep running your mouth and piss off the boss, you're not walking out of here."

The men of the Brotherhood pointed and jeered, tossing insults her way.

Melanie simply smirked, completely unfazed.

"Your leg injury is caused by chronic avascular necrosis of the talus. The root cause happened a year ago."

"I can introduce you to a reliable surgeon, and combined with my exclusive medicinal formulas, I guarantee a full recovery."

She spoke with absolute certainty, and the leader didn't immediately dismiss her claims.

"I've read countless people in my life. I can tell you aren't lying."

Melanie quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In truth, all she needed was for the Silverward Brotherhood to escort her and Everett safely to the airport.

Whether it was the Black Viper Syndicate or anyone else after her, they wouldn't dare make a move in a highly secured, public setting like an airport.

"So, does this mean you agree to grant us temporary asylum?"

As soon as the question left her lips, the leader raised his hand and pointed a finger directly at her.

"You can stay."

His finger shifted slightly, pointing to the man cowering behind her.

"He cannot."
