She Left, She Thrived, She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 61

“A smart man knows which way the wind is blowing. This is no time for petty jealousy. Since Mr. Whitmore from Stellaris PharmaTech thinks so highly of Melanie, you should take this opportunity to make good use of her connections…”

“That was… the whole point of the marriage between the Hale family and the Royce family in the first place.”

Gregory patted Dominic’s shoulder.

“I understand, Dad…”

Dominic nodded.

At the Marquette Grand Hall.

After being shown to a seat of honor by Gabriel, Melanie juggled pleasantries while secretly texting Elias:

[Did you tell someone about my identity?]

Elias was usually swamped, but he always replied to Melanie’s texts instantly:

[Goddess, I would never dare!]

Melanie pursed her lips.

She did trust Elias.

But besides him, no one else knew she was the legendary pharmaceutical genius from the online forums—

Schrödinger’s Pill.

Melanie’s gaze fell on Gabriel.

Valerie’s warmth and friendliness were easy enough to explain.

Any talented fashion designer would naturally be interested in a model who could bring their creations to life so perfectly.

But why was Gabriel being so nice to her?

Melanie couldn’t figure it out.
