She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 540

At that comment, several junior employees started whispering among themselves.

"Even if they're fakes... that many pieces still cost a fortune, right?"

"Look at how they catch the light. Those are definitely real. If they are fakes, they're the highest-grade replicas on the market."

"The fire in those diamonds is genuine. They don't have that cheap rainbow glare like moissanite, and they aren't milky like lab-grown stones."

"Fake or not, a bouquet that massive costs thousands of dollars!"

"Exactly! If the guy is dropping thousands just on the flowers, why would he buy fake jewelry?"

"Who exactly is the COO's boyfriend? Didn't people say he was just a regular guy at Stellaris making a basic salary?"

"I heard his family is in business too. Maybe they aren't on the same level as the Royce Group, but they clearly have serious money."

"Rich or not, the point is he's willing to spend it on her."

"Ugh... I am so jealous. Her boyfriend is gorgeous and treats her like a queen. Why can't I find a man like that?"

Listening to the office chatter, Dominic almost snapped back several times.

But every time he opened his mouth, the words died in his throat.

Whether Preston had his own money or came from wealth, in the eyes of these female employees, the man had zero baggage.

Unlike him.

He had cheated on his wife, fathered an illegitimate child, bankrupted his company, and spent time in a holding cell.

The reality check gave Dominic a blinding headache.

At least Nathaniel had just formally ordered Melanie to hand over the Genesis Serum to Aria's Creative Studio.

It wouldn't be long before he made his massive comeback.

Comforted by that thought, Dominic glanced over at Aria, only to see her furiously snapping photos of Melanie's diamond-draped roses.

Melanie saw her taking pictures and raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong? Hoping someone buys you the exact same thing? Oh wait, you don't have a boyfriend."

Seeing the text, Elara immediately frowned.

She hesitated for a second before tapping the image. Her eyes widened.

It was a photo of Preston's extravagant floral delivery. Even through the screen, the premium quality of the roses and the blinding sparkle of the high-end jewelry were undeniable. It practically screamed wealth.

A gift like this required immense thought and effort, and delivering it directly to Melanie's corporate headquarters was a deliberate power move.

It was Preston announcing to the world—

That Melanie was the woman he cherished above all else.

Furious, Elara slammed her phone down onto the leather seat. She snapped at the driver:

"Harold, turn the car around. We're going to Averin."

The moment the order left her mouth, her phone began to ring. It was her mother.

"Elara, are you still in Delmar? Your father and I are at the Kensington Grand in Averin. Have Harold bring you here immediately."
