She Left, She Thrived, She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 54

The proposal was slammed onto the conference table as Dominic flew into a rage.

Beside him, Evelyn couldn't help but sneer.

“I was wondering what brilliant idea Melanie had. So this is it?”

Dominic glanced at Evelyn.

Although he didn't want to hear Evelyn's gloating and sarcasm right now, she wasn't wrong.

This time, Melanie had gone too far.

She had basically gambled the entire future of the Hale Group.

“Melanie, did you even consider the company's interests before making a decision like this? Couldn't you have asked me first?”

Dominic questioned her furiously.

He never would have imagined that Melanie would dare to make such a bold promise in front of Mr. Vellor.

“Improve the formula to cellular-level efficacy within a week? If the Hale Group could have made a serum with cellular-level efficacy, we wouldn't have had to falsify the data in the first place!”

He was about to explode with anger at Melanie.

“But this is the only option we have right now to save our reputation.”

Melanie explained calmly.

“Otherwise, the company will not only face huge fines, but more importantly, our lost credibility will be gone for good.”

“But your plan could make us pay even more—ten times more!”

“That's right, Melanie. No matter how much you want to prove yourself, you can't gamble with the company, can you? Promising ten times the compensation... anyone who didn't know better would think you want my brother's company to go bankrupt!”

Evelyn's words actually hit the nail on the head for Melanie.

She looked at Evelyn, her smile like a mask.

“Don't forget, Evelyn, it was your father who humbly asked me to clean up your mess. That's the only reason I agreed... Are you saying you don't trust me? Or do you not trust your father's judgment?”

Evelyn opened her mouth, then drew a sharp breath.

Seeing Melanie bring his father into it, Dominic stopped arguing and directly called Gregory.

“Dad, this is the situation. Look, Melanie has already made the promise, and Mr. Vellor has agreed. What… what are we supposed to do now?”

The line went silent.

For a long time, Gregory didn't say anything.

Dominic didn't dare to speak either.

The entire conference room was dead silent.
