She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 776

So Holden ordered Dominic to have Leila personally apologize to Gabriel.

No matter how reluctant Leila was, she had no right to refuse.

She still had to rely on Dominic and the Lockridge Group to support her career; otherwise, she would never survive in any circle.

While Leila was personally apologizing to Gabriel at Stellaris, Melanie was sitting in a private room at The Sapphire Pavilion, a high-end restaurant specializing in business dinners and family gatherings.

Sitting across from her was Dominic.

"So... don't blame Leila. She did all this because she loves me too much."

Dominic spoke to Melanie while carefully observing her expression.

Melanie looked noticeably impatient.

In the past, if he had seen this expression on her face, he would have been incredibly sad and hurt.

He would have thought Melanie didn't care about him.

But now, his thoughts were the exact opposite.

It was precisely because Melanie still cared about him, because she was jealous, that she was showing this expression.

"You are my ex-wife, after all, so her hostility toward you is understandable. I hope you can forgive her..."

Dominic feigned sincerity as he pushed a jewelry box toward Melanie.

Melanie cast her eyes downward at it but didn't move.

Seeing no reaction from her, Dominic cleared his throat and proactively opened the box.

Inside was a pair of earrings.

A pair of exquisite, dazzlingly bright Radiant Pearl & Diamond Studs.

As he showed off the earrings to Melanie, Dominic couldn't suppress the smug curve of his lips.

This was his strategy.

Using the excuse of an apology, he spared no effort in showing Melanie just how much Leila loved him—loved him enough to risk buying negative trending searches against Melanie just for him.

He did this to provoke Melanie's jealousy.

Then, he would offer her this piece of jewelry under the guise of making amends.

"You don't need to say things like that to defend yourself. I know you're just jealous."

When Melanie heard him utter the word "jealous," she rolled her eyes hard.

In reality, the Lockridge Group had contacted her assistant to arrange this meal.

Melanie had mistakenly thought the Lockridge Group had business to discuss with the Royce Group, which was why she agreed. She never expected the person meeting her would be Dominic.

And she definitely didn't expect the topic of conversation to be Leila.

Melanie had absolutely no desire to waste any more of her precious time and turned to leave.

"Melanie! Melanie, don't go!"

Before chasing her out of the private room, Dominic quickly pocketed The Radiant Pearl & Diamond Studs.

He had carefully selected those earrings and spent a fortune on them!

After securing the jewelry box, he hurried after Melanie, catching up to her and grabbing her arm.

"Stop right there!"
