She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 574

"I'm not a monster, Melanie. I don't want to give Dad a heart attack, so I brought the acquisition proposal straight to you. Take your time, read it over, and discuss it with him."

Aria shoved the papers toward her, a sickeningly arrogant smirk plastered on her face.

"Honestly, this is Dad's fault. He was too biased toward you, forcing my hand. But the terms are very clear. As long as you comply with the buyout, I guarantee you and Dad will live comfortably for the rest of your lives."

Standing face-to-face, Aria's eyes burned with the absolute certainty of victory.

Gregory stood toward the back, making no move to intervene.

This was Royce family drama; he had no right or interest in stepping in.

As far as he was concerned, the Royce Group was already obsolete.

Being swallowed by Aria's studio was inevitable.

His only remaining task was to bleed the profits dry.

Dominic had been standing next to his father, but watching the sisters clash drew him forward.

"Just sign the papers, Melanie. I've reviewed the proposal myself. It's incredibly generous."

At the sound of his voice, Melanie shifted her gaze to him.

Dominic looked back at her, feigning deep concern.

"Once the company is bought out, you won't have to clean up these messes anymore. The board will be restructured, and you and your dad can step down entirely. You'll get a fixed monthly allowance and never have to work another day in your life. Isn't that better than drowning right now? Plus..."

He let the rest of the sentence hang in the air.

What he desperately wanted to say was—

Plus, you'll have me to take care of you.

Aria shrieked, her eyes bulging with fury.

Ripping up her generous offer in front of the entire industry elite was a public slap to the face!

"You really don't know what's good for you, do you?"

Sabrina marched forward, pointing a manicured finger right in Melanie's face.

"Do you think throwing a tantrum makes you look tough? You're just putting on a pathetic show! The Royce Group will either be bought out or file for bankruptcy. If you don't sign this, your father will!"

A heavy silence crashed over the ballroom.

Facing Sabrina's unhinged screaming, Melanie didn't bother arguing. Instead, she quietly slipped off her white mink coat.

The moment her gown was revealed, Dominic was the first to let out a breathless gasp of pure awe.
