She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 667

Dominic held the bouquet up, gazing at Melanie with what he believed was ocean-deep devotion.

Melanie just stared at him, cringing inwardly.

So this was the grand, epic romance Dominic had built his entire identity around.

To her, saving him back then was nothing more than a passing convenience.

Her mother was a renowned pharmacologist, and Melanie had been immersed in Advanced Bio-Pharmacology since she was a toddler. It was her passion.

She was a prodigy. Even in middle school, her practical knowledge of pharmacology dwarfed that of most university seniors.

But she didn't even really know Dominic back then.

Their families were close, and they had played together as toddlers, but they rarely interacted as they grew up.

When they got older and attended different schools, the gap only widened.

At first, she accepted him out of a sense of obligation to their arranged marriage.

But every time she reached out, he acted completely aloof.

As she matured, she realized she had no interest in chasing a boy who clearly didn't care.

Teenagers were notoriously rebellious, wrapped up in their own drama.

So, in reality, they practically never saw each other and barely texted.

When she stumbled across a dying kid in the woods, she genuinely hadn't recognized him.

Looking at Dominic's tear-streaked face, Melanie gave a dry chuckle.

"Instead of giving you another chance, I'd rather God give me a chance to go back in time. Because this time, I definitely wouldn't save you."

Without a backward glance, Melanie marched away from the corporate plaza.

"Melanie! Melanie! Wait!" Dominic screamed, thrashing against Philip's grip. "Just one more chance! One! Let go of me, you bastard! Melanie, don't leave! I love you!"

Listening to his shameless howling, Melanie quickened her pace, lifting a hand to shield her face.

She was the CEO of the Royce Group; having a lunatic screaming at her in front of her own headquarters was thoroughly humiliating.

Thank god for Philip.

When Preston had insisted on assigning his top assistant as her personal bodyguard, she thought he was being overly paranoid.

She never expected the elite bodyguard to prove his worth so quickly.

Philip was supposed to accompany her to the meeting, but he had stayed behind to finish some paperwork and arrived just in the nick of time.
