She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 775

Dominic feared the trending search about Melanie Royce and Gabriel Whitmore was real.

Even if it wasn't, Leila Langley's photo was undeniable.

Dominic thought: Melanie might be heartless, but Gabriel was definitely interested.

He remembered that before their divorce, the Royce Group had never collaborated with Stellaris PharmaTech.

Yet, ever since they split up, the Royce Group and Stellaris seemed practically bonded, succeeding in several major joint projects.

"Could it be..."

A sudden thought flashed through Dominic's mind.

"Melanie breaking up with Preston Whitmore... isn't just because Preston went bankrupt, but because the Vice President of Stellaris swooped in and stole her away?"

The more Dominic thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After all, in Averin, what woman could refuse the pursuit of the Vice President of Stellaris!

Dominic's mind was in absolute turmoil.

He had racked his brains and exhausted every trick to finally cling to the Lockridge Group's power, and it wasn't just for his own future.

It was for a future for him and Melanie.

Only by re-entering high society and regaining his wealth and status would he be worthy of Melanie and have the right to win her back.

But...

If his rival was actually the Vice President of Stellaris, all his scheming was completely meaningless.

No matter how rich and powerful he became, could he ever out-compete Stellaris PharmaTech?

Dominic sat in his car, restless with anxiety.

He pulled out his phone to check the trending searches again, only to find them completely wiped.

Across all platforms on the entire internet, there wasn't a single trace left of Melanie and Gabriel's alleged hookup.

"As expected of Stellaris, they took it down fast!"

Dominic muttered to himself.

The next second, a brand-new trending search popped up.

Even though Stellaris was a direct competitor to the Lockridge Group in certain sectors, their relationship hadn't deteriorated to the point of an all-out war.

Besides, Leila was the one who provoked this fight first.

And she did it by spreading entirely baseless, dirty rumors.

When it came to power and influence in Averin, if the Whitmore family claimed second place, absolutely no one would dare claim first.

Holden didn't want to inexplicably offend Gabriel over something so trivial.

And Dominic wanted even less for this to blow out of proportion.

Leila's past was far from clean; she had a mountain of dark history.

And her current status was as his girlfriend.

Even if he could break up with her, exposing her scandals would inevitably drag him down with her.

Therefore, the best resolution was to minimize the damage and sweep it under the rug.

But while they saw it that way, Gabriel certainly didn't.
