She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 621

The next day, exactly as Preston expected, his mother, Marjorie Kent, cornered him right at his office door.

"You're heading to the airport to pick up your girlfriend, aren't you?"

Marjorie stood with one hand on her hip, her expression a perfect portrait of sheer disapproval.

"Yes."

The moment Preston nodded, Marjorie issued a ruthless command.

"You are not going!"

She angrily shoved her phone right into his face.

"Look at this... Look at what your girlfriend has been up to!"

The screen displayed the exact same press release Preston had seen the night before.

The same text, the same photos.

The first image clearly showed Elias pulling Melanie into a tight embrace.

"Your father and I already suspected there was something fishy going on between her and the Carter Group, and now here's the irrefutable proof!"

Marjorie shook the phone aggressively in front of his eyes.

"Hugging Elias Carter in broad daylight, in front of everyone... Does she even remember she has a boyfriend? Does she respect you at all? What makes a tramp like her worth all this devotion..."

"Mom!"

Preston cut her off sharply.

The atmosphere at the office door instantly turned explosive, the air thick with tension.

Marjorie bit her lip.

She knew she had crossed a line with her words.

But it was an undeniable fact that Melanie had hugged Elias in front of a massive crowd, and she had the photographic evidence to prove it.

Stellaris PharmaTech and the Carter Group were bitter, sworn rivals.

What if Melanie truly was a corporate spy planted by the Carter Group to infiltrate Preston's life?

They couldn't afford to be careless.

Even if they gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed she wasn't a spy, the photo clearly proved she was inappropriately close to Elias.

"Mom, why do you constantly have to butt heads with him? What are you even trying to achieve?"

Marjorie smacked him on the back of the head.

"You little brat! If you were eavesdropping this whole time, why didn't you come out and talk some sense into your brother?!"

Gabriel rubbed his head, looking deeply wronged.

"How was I supposed to talk sense into him? Even you couldn't do it!"

"So you're just going to stand there and watch your brother get played by that homewrecker!"

Marjorie was still fuming.

"Whoa, Mom... how did she suddenly become a homewrecker?"

"Has she brainwashed you too?!"

"No, no..."

Gabriel waved his hands frantically.

"I just trust his judgment. Plus, I've dealt with her more than once. If she was really some gold-digging tramp, wouldn't she have tried to seduce me first? She doesn't even know his real identity, but everyone in the city knows I'm the Vice President of Stellaris."
