She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 708

Dominic clenched his fists, silently cheering himself on. He knew he could do this. The first step was already in motion.

Gavin... I really have to thank you, he thought to himself, though his gaze hardened with a cold calculation.

He recalled Gavin's harsh words from earlier: 'You keep saying Preston is a nobody, but look at you right now... No job, no money... How could you ever win Melanie back?'

A bitter smirk touched Dominic's lips. If Gavin hadn't hit him with that harsh reality check, he would still be spiraling in the wrong direction.

Once again, his eyes drifted toward Melanie. Even from a side profile, her beauty was absolutely arresting. His expression softened, filled with a deep, lingering affection.

He had squandered the first chance fate had given him. But now, he had carved out a second opportunity. And this time, he wouldn't let her slip away.

The stage lights flared to life, illuminating the spectacular set design. The Medicinal Gastronomy Championship had officially begun.

Melanie scanned the room and noticed Shawn Sterling was nowhere to be seen.

His absence should have been a relief, but she knew Shawn was the mastermind behind this entire event. From the lavish venue to the high-profile judging panel, he had poured massive resources into this competition. The winner alone would walk away with a million-dollar cash prize.

With such a massive production, Melanie had assumed Shawn wouldn't miss the chance to bask in the spotlight. Yet, he hadn't shown up, opting instead to send a few of his corporate executives to oversee the event.

Her instincts told her Shawn wasn't actually interested in the championship itself. But if he didn't care about the competition, why go to such extreme lengths to host it?

Melanie tilted her head, forced to admit she was growing slightly curious about the man's motives.
