She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 53

Listening to Emilia's mockery, Melanie smiled and glanced at the ID badge on Emilia's chest.

“After being demoted to specialist, Ms. Hartwell has learned to lecture her superiors? Did your dear Evelyn teach you that?”

“You…”

Emilia's face twisted with anger, the jab having hit a sore spot.

She hated it when people mentioned her specialist position, especially Melanie.

“Don't act so high and mighty. I heard the only reason you became Vice President is because you were assigned to clean up the mess with the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute project. In other words, you're just cleaning up after Evelyn.”

“When you fail the task, forget about being Vice President—you won't even make it as a specialist. You'll have to pack your bags and leave!”

Seeing Emilia's gloating expression, Melanie smiled instead of getting angry.

“It doesn't matter. I'm not like you, afraid of losing my job. I don't care about the title, because with or without it, I'm still the boss's wife at the Hale Group.”

“You…”

Emilia almost choked with rage.

Just then, someone came looking for her.

“Ms. Royce, Mr. Vellor from the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute is here.”

Hearing this, Emilia was thrilled.

“Haha, Mr. Vellor must be here to put you in your place. When he refuses to talk to you, let's see how you can still show your face at this company.”

Emilia loudly called over other colleagues to watch the show.

Naturally, word of this also reached Dominic and Evelyn.

Right now, the biggest problem facing the Hale Group was the dispute with the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute.

Everyone in the company was watching to see if the newly appointed Melanie could resolve this issue on her own.

“Mr. Vellor, you've come all this way. Forgive us for not giving you a proper welcome!”

Dominic, his face wreathed in smiles, proactively extended his hand to Mr. Vellor.

“Ms. Royce, congratulations on your promotion.”

On the other, Melanie had already entered the conference room with Mr. Vellor.

Dominic and Evelyn followed them in.

Evelyn wasn't supposed to be involved in this project anymore.

But she was too curious. She wanted to see what Melanie would do and also catch her making a mistake.

Dominic saw Evelyn follow him in. He opened his mouth to say something, but didn't ask her to leave.

Everyone took their seats.

Melanie stood at the front and began her presentation.

“…So, to compensate for the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute's losses and to restore the Hale Group's credibility… I hope the institute can give us one more week. Within that week, we will improve the serum's formula to achieve the cellular-level efficacy we advertised. If we fail to do so within the deadline, we will provide the Luminaria Aesthetic Institute with ten times the compensation.”

The meeting lasted a full hour, and Melanie and Mr. Vellor had a very pleasant discussion.

However, after Mr. Vellor left, Dominic called Melanie back into the conference room.

“Are you fucking crazy?!”
