She Left, She Thrived, She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 74

“Lila only ever buys one toy at a time. I didn’t know my aunt was less well-behaved than Lila. Shame on you, Aunty,” Lila chimed in, echoing Evelyn’s words.

Melanie looked at the furious Dominic, the gloating Evelyn, and the hostile Lila, and couldn’t help but laugh coldly to herself.

It’s true what they say. This family is a perfect match for each other.

“Don’t worry. You don’t need to reimburse me for the necklaces. Someone else bought them for me.”

“What?” Dominic looked at Melanie in astonishment.

Her calm and composed demeanor didn’t seem like she was lying.

He wanted to ask who it was, but Evelyn beat him to it.

“My, my, Melanie. Even as a married woman, you still have such great luck with men?”

Evelyn’s comment made Dominic’s face fall instantly.

He realized he didn’t need to ask who had bought her the two necklaces.

Who it was didn’t matter at all.

What mattered was that Melanie had accepted them… and looked so proud of it.

Melanie was naturally beautiful; with just a little effort, she was stunning. It wasn't out of the question that she could attract the attention of wealthy men in a high-end mall like this.

Dominic even began to suspect that Melanie might have deliberately flirted and put on a show to get an extra necklace.

His expression growing uglier by the second, he turned to leave.

Just then, Evelyn tugged on Lila’s clothes and gave her a look.

Lila was smart. Having learned from her mother’s example since she was little, she understood exactly what her mother meant.

Melanie was standing on a small set of stairs.

It wasn't high, only three steps.

But from Lila’s angle, a sudden, unexpected push would be enough to make Melanie fall and hurt herself.

Even if Melanie didn’t get hurt, the jewelry boxes in her hands would surely go flying.

Without a second thought, Lila started running.

“Oops!”

As she reached Melanie, Lila pretended to trip.

However, she failed to crash into Melanie.

Just as she gathered her strength and turned, Melanie sidestepped her.
