She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 567

"I do regret it."

Hearing Melanie say this, Dominic's eyes lit up with sheer delight.

"I regret not getting into my car sooner so I wouldn't have to look at your nauseating face."

"What did you say?"

Dominic reached out to grab her arm, but Melanie swiftly dodged him.

His hand froze mid-air before curling into a furious fist.

"I'm trying to be nice, Melanie. Don't push your luck."

He pulled a luxurious, high-end velvet box from his coat pocket.

"Look. If you just be a good girl and get in my car, this is yours."

Dominic popped the box open, revealing a cascading diamond necklace accented with emeralds. It was exquisitely crafted and blindingly extravagant.

"These are real diamonds. Cost me millions of dollars. Unlike that fake necklace your boyfriend gave you, probably made of cheap lab-grown stones."

Dominic's face was a picture of absolute arrogance.

Melanie's eyes were filled with nothing but disdain.

In her memory, the Hale Group at least had some corporate dignity. How had Dominic turned into such a tacky nouveau riche stereotype, buying sports cars and diamond necklaces the second his company saw a little profit?

Oblivious to her contempt, Dominic kept bragging.

Unlike Stellaris PharmaTech, which had massive scale and diverse ventures, the Royce Group couldn't simply shrug off the failure of a single project.

They had completely relied on the Genesis Serum's exclusive formula to produce superior herbal materials.

Losing that monopoly meant losing everything.

With Nathaniel still in the hospital, Melanie was left scrambling to hold the pieces together.

Dominic knew she had been pampered her whole life. There was no way she could handle this kind of hardship.

The crushing isolation of impending bankruptcy had to be agonizing.

That was why Dominic hadn't approached her immediately; he had intentionally left her to suffer for a few days to soften her up.
