She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 744

But it was obvious Shawn had come completely prepared today.

If Preston hadn't brought his own security detail, he was in serious trouble.

A smart man knew when to fold a bad hand.

Melanie shot Preston a desperate look, silently begging him to stand down.

Shawn didn't miss the subtle exchange.

"Angel, you really are protective of your ex... You're that terrified I'm going to hurt him?"

Shawn taunted, but Melanie offered zero response.

He shrugged with a dark chuckle.

"If Mr. Whitmore backs down, it just proves he's a total coward... But if you don't, I don't think you're walking out of here in one piece!"

He delivered the threat casually, but it was dripping with lethal intent.

He wanted Melanie to watch her so-called man beg for mercy.

A suffocating silence blanketed Eclipse Noir Club.

Catching Melanie's warning glance, Preston knew she was begging him not to escalate the bloodbath.

Suddenly, Shawn physically stepped between them, severing their connection.

"What are you looking at?"

Shawn waved a hand right in front of Preston's face.

"Angel made herself perfectly clear... She wants you to surrender so she never has to deal with you again."

At that, Melanie shot Shawn an incredibly annoyed glare.

That wasn't what she meant at all...

And Shawn knew damn well it wasn't what she meant.

Shawn had a literal army with him, while Preston was completely alone.

If they threw down, Preston wouldn't stand a chance.

Even if they called the cops, the damage would be done long before the sirens arrived.

Plus, as long as Shawn didn't throw a punch himself, the police couldn't pin it on him.

They'd just arrest a few foot soldiers and call it a day.

That was exactly why Shawn was so violently arrogant.

Ignoring Melanie's furious glare, Shawn flashed a blinding grin.
