She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 745

"He's a grown man. What could I possibly do to him?"

Preston's counter-question made Melanie laugh.

They stood facing each other outside Daphne's club, looking like they were having a genuinely good time.

It was as if they were still a couple.

As if they had never broken up.

It took a delayed beat for Melanie to realize she shouldn't be acting so friendly toward him.

She hastily dropped her smile, composing her features into a cool mask.

"Thank you."

Preston suddenly spoke up, his voice soft.

Melanie blinked in surprise.

"Shouldn't I be the one thanking you? You helped me get rid of Shawn."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Preston shook his head, his expression dead serious.

"I'm talking about the GlycaGuard launch... Thank you for helping Stellaris PharmaTech."

His gratitude sounded incredibly sincere.

Melanie offered a casual shrug and a smirk.

"As expected from the head of Stellaris. You weren't even there, yet you're perfectly informed."

Seeing his lips part to speak, she immediately cut him off.

"Just because I didn't fall for Elara's trap and refused to help her sabotage Stellaris, it doesn't mean I forgive you."

As her tone shifted and her expression turned frosty, a flicker of tension visibly tightened Preston's features.

Inside Eclipse Noir, Daphne was blatantly eavesdropping.

While she didn't know all the gritty details of what had gone down between them, it was obvious Melanie wasn't over him.

Especially when comparing Preston to Shawn; it was crystal clear that Melanie saw Shawn as a stranger, or even a threat.

But Preston was still her person.

Just moments ago, Melanie had been laughing so freely outside the club.

Yet suddenly, the entire atmosphere between her and Preston had shifted.
