She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 734

"No. I'll help you hold them accountable. If it truly was them..."

Over the next two weeks, Melanie frequently visited the Stellaris PharmaTech headquarters.

Gabriel Whitmore had initially feared that after her dramatic breakup with Preston, she would sever all business ties with Stellaris.

As it turned out, aside from making a very public spectacle of dumping his brother, she hadn't changed anything else.

Their collaboration on Project GlycaGuard proceeded without a hitch, rapidly approaching its final stages.

On several occasions, Gabriel considered using their business meetings as an excuse to put in a good word for Preston.

But every time the words reached his tongue, he swallowed them back down.

He was terrified that interfering would only make things worse.

Besides, if his intel was correct, his brother was currently living in the bare-bones apartment right next to Melanie's new place.

Under the guise of taking a medical leave to recover from his burns, Gabriel knew exactly what Preston was doing—using the close proximity to manufacture every possible excuse to rekindle their romance.

Even now, Gabriel wasn't entirely sure if Melanie had figured out that Stellaris was the hidden backer behind the research her mother conducted four years ago.

If that project had nothing to do with her mother's tragic death, then he felt certain Preston winning her back was practically guaranteed.

But what if there was a connection?

It was supposed to be Preston's relationship drama, yet Gabriel was the one who had suffered from relentless nightmares for over a week, showing up to the office every day with deep, dark circles under his eyes.

Lately, he had noticed another troubling pattern.

Every time Melanie came in for a meeting, she would make a point of seeing Elara Bennett.

The two of them were frequently caught chatting and laughing together, grabbing lunch, and even sharing dinners.

During one of his lunch breaks, Gabriel had even spotted the two of them walking arm in arm, shopping together like the best of friends.

He had always implicitly trusted Melanie.

But he didn't trust Elara for a second.

You are the company you keep, and with Melanie constantly hanging around Elara, Gabriel was deeply worried that the Bennett heiress would drag her down a dark path.

He had, of course, reported this to Preston, but his brother hadn't said a damn word in response.
