She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 92

Dominic’s expression changed.

That subtle shift didn't escape Gregory's notice.

"Dominic, are you and Melanie having problems?"

"N-no…"

Dominic shook his head.

"It’s not my brother's fault. It's all that Melanie's…"

Evelyn stood up, enduring the searing pain all over her body.

"Melanie is your sister-in-law. How can you be so disrespectful?"

Gregory immediately reprimanded Evelyn.

"Dad…"

Evelyn walked over to Gregory, her face a mask of righteous indignation.

"Don't blame me for being disrespectful. It's because her actions don't deserve any respect… You have no idea. Our family's company is in such trouble, it's even being liquidated for bankruptcy, but do you know what that Melanie is doing?"

Evelyn deliberately raised her voice, glancing at Camilla.

Her words naturally caught Camilla’s attention.

"Melanie is out to dinner with some boy toy!"

As soon as Evelyn said this, Camilla shot to her feet.

"What did you say?"

Evelyn smirked inwardly, knowing Camilla would have the strongest reaction.

"Mom… when Melanie took that boy toy out to dinner, they didn't just go to some ordinary restaurant. They went to Le Marcelline, to the exclusive Summit Tier, where there's a twenty-million-dollar minimum!"

As Evelyn recounted the story with dramatic flair, Camilla began to tremble with rage.

"I'm not lying… My brother, and Lila, they both saw it. Melanie was wearing a strapless gown, holding that boy toy's arm…"

"Bah!"

Seeing Camilla rubbing her hands together in anticipation, Evelyn couldn't help but smirk.

This was more like it…

If The Hale Group was going bankrupt, she shouldn't be the only one to suffer a beating!

Dominic opened his mouth but didn't stop Camilla.

Although The Hale Group hadn't collapsed when Melanie went out to dinner with the boy toy, the fact remained that Melanie was a married woman. To be seen in public with a boy toy, and to spend a fortune of twenty million dollars on him…

Melanie's behavior deserved a punishment.

Letting his mother use this opportunity to give Melanie a serious wake-up call might prevent her from doing something even more outrageous in the future.

Just as Camilla dialed the number, Gregory snatched the phone from her and ended the call.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Camilla glared at Gregory but didn't dare to take her phone back.

"Melanie may be our daughter-in-law, but she's still the heiress of the Royce family. Even if she's committed a terrible mistake, it's not our place to discipline her."
