Gavin didn't think his advice was overly cynical.
It was just a fact of life.
Men liked beautiful women.
Women liked money.
He had been running in these elite circles long enough to know he had never met a rich man who lacked female companionship.
Take himself, for instance. The Lockridge family might not be sitting at the very top of the billionaire hierarchy like Preston's Whitmore family, but they were definitely in the upper echelons.
Everywhere he went, women were practically lining up to sleep with him.
And he never felt like he owed them anything.
After all, every single woman he had been with had gotten money out of him.
Whether it was big-ticket items like houses and cars, or smaller things like designer jewelry.
Sure, Melanie was the heiress to the Royce family, and she certainly didn't need anyone's money.
But because of that, she was even less likely to do charity work by dating a broke guy.
Rich, powerful women only had higher standards for the men they chose.
Simply put, in Gavin's eyes, even if Dominic somehow managed to claw his way back to the top, it still wouldn't guarantee he could move Melanie.
Let alone the fact that he was currently drowning in the mud!
Gavin's advice was well-intentioned. He just wanted to untie the knot in Dominic's mind, to stop him from hanging himself on this one impossible dream.
Even without Melanie, he could find someone else.
As long as he got his life back on track.
However...
To Dominic's twisted mind, the words took on an entirely different meaning.
Dominic tipped the empty liquor bottle up, trying to pour more alcohol into his mouth, but not a single drop came out.
Despite having drunk so much, his conversation with Gavin had somehow managed to sober him up a bit.
Gavin's advice was spot on.
If he wanted to win Melanie back, the very first thing he needed to do was orchestrate a massive comeback.
Only by becoming a wealthy man again would he have the right to stand by Melanie's side.
But...
How was he supposed to do that?
What exactly was he supposed to do to get his fortune back?
