She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 873

"No wonder. The whole company is buzzing with rumors that Ms. Royce and Assistant Whitmore got back together. She hasn't even denied it, so it must be true!"

"But Ms. Royce doesn't strike me as a shallow or materialistic person."

"How is that being shallow or materialistic? Ms. Royce is gorgeous, prettier than most celebrities, comes from a good family, has incredible skills, and she's a CEO! Why wouldn't she deserve the best?"

"Exactly! Stop listening to those toxic influencers gaslighting women. If a woman has the means to find a better man, of course she's going to aim high. Why call a woman materialistic instead of calling out those broke guys expecting a supermodel? They have no money, no house, no ambition, yet they dream of a beautiful woman settling for them. And when she doesn't, they call her shallow. Guys like that deserve to be single!"

"Right, right, I agree with Jonas! If you can't find a partner, blame yourself first! Don't pin everything on women, we're not taking the fall for that. Ms. Royce isn't your average woman, so what's wrong with her picking the cream of the crop?"

"So this is the best outcome. Assistant Whitmore's family bounces back, he gets back together with Ms. Royce, and they become a match made in heaven once again."

"Keep dreaming!"

One of the gossipy female employees patted her colleague on the shoulder.

"That's a Koenigsegg! Don't you remember what kind of car Assistant Whitmore drove before his family went bankrupt?"

"Well..."

The colleague tilted her head, thinking for a moment.

"Oh, right! I remember now, it was a BMW 5 Series."

"Exactly! A BMW 5 Series is just pocket change compared to a Koenigsegg."

"So you're saying... this car doesn't belong to Assistant Whitmore?"

"Obviously not!"

The employee rubbed her chin, looking like she was deep in deductive thought.

"As long as Ms. Royce accepts the car, it means he still has a chance. I think... even though Assistant Whitmore is a bit pitiful, there's a very high chance he's going to get dumped again. Sigh!"

The group of gossiping women sighed in unison, all lamenting Preston's doomed rollercoaster of a romance.

At that moment, Melanie had no idea she and Preston were once again the center of office gossip.

Accompanied by Preston, she arrived at Nathaniel Royce's office.

As soon as she walked in, she came face-to-face with Dominic Hale.

Although no one in the office had spoken a word yet, the atmosphere was as heavy as an interrogation room.

Melanie was the first to break the tension with a smirk, hooking a thumb in Dominic's direction.

"You called me back here in such a panic just to see him? Did he even make an appointment with my assistant?"
