She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 725

“No comment.”

Elara's tone was resolute, leaving Gabriel with no options but to stew in his own frustration.

He suspected her because he remembered slipping up in front of Elara once, casually mentioning that Preston hadn't told Melanie who he really was.

“This is all my fault. My fault!”

Gabriel smacked his own forehead as he marched out of Elara's office.

Outside the Royce Group building.

Preston had been standing there for five hours.

Melanie had blocked his number and explicitly ordered the front desk to deny him entry.

His only option was to stand outside until she decided to see him.

Since parting ways in Lexington, Preston hadn't spoken a single word to her.

He had planned to let her cool down before explaining everything once they got back to Averin.

Instead, the first thing he heard was the rumor of their breakup.

Preston could handle her anger. He could handle her resentment.

Even her hatred.

But he flat-out refused to let her leave him.

He stood through the blazing afternoon heat until the sun dipped below the horizon.

Finally...

Melanie finished work.

Employees slowly trickled out of the office building.

Most of them recognized Preston.

They knew him as her boyfriend.

Well, ex-boyfriend now.

It was painfully obvious that he was the one who had been dumped and was now desperately begging for a second chance.

“He's so pathetic. All those looks, ruined by his deadbeat family.”

“Isn't Ms. Royce being a bit cruel? Dumping a guy right after he goes bankrupt?”

“What do you know? Staying with him would only hurt more in the long run. She's not going to marry a broke guy!”

“Man... you think if I swoop in now, I could score him?”

“Do you want to lose your job?”

“Come on! I can't chase a guy she doesn't want anymore?”
