She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 792

"Right, exactly. Leave the fallen gorgeous aristocrats to me!"

"Keep dreaming. With a face like that, he could easily snag a sugar mama for a couple million. Can you afford that?"

Preston heard every word of their loud gossiping. And so did Melanie.

"Sorry about that. Do you want me to go clear things up with them?"

She was about to step forward when he suddenly grabbed her arm.

"There's no need."

She turned back to look at him.

His sharply sculpted face didn't show a single trace of offense.

"This is perfect."

"Perfect how?"

She tilted her head, confused.

Did he actually enjoy playing the role of a bankrupt pretty boy waiting for a sugar mama to drop millions on him?

But thinking about it, as the absolute head of Stellaris PharmaTech and the eldest heir of the Whitmore family, his ability to stay under the radar was honestly terrifying.

She had been an executive at the Royce Group and part of the business elite for a while now, yet not a single person around her had ever connected the dots on his real identity.

Aside from Elara Bennett, who had once been engaged into the family.

Across all of Averin, out of everyone she interacted with, almost no one actually knew his face.

If Elias Carter hadn't randomly shown up at the hospital that day, she probably would have been kept in the dark forever.

"Preston..."

"Hmm?"

"You've intentionally stayed a ghost to the public... and pushed Gabriel straight into the spotlight. Why?"

She asked as they walked side-by-side toward the elevators.

He stayed silent for a long moment before finally answering.

"I didn't push him into the spotlight... he was always there."

She glanced up at him through her lashes.

His profile was carved like marble, his jawline sharp enough to cut glass.

For two men with no shared blood, a bond like that was incredibly rare in their world.

She immediately thought of her and Aria Royce.

Between her and Aria, it was an endless, bloody war where only one could survive.

Looking back at his striking face, she truly hoped he and his brother would always stay this way, never turning on each other over corporate greed.

Before she knew it, they had arrived at her office door.

"Why are you still here?"

She asked, suddenly realizing he had followed her all the way up.

He was just supposed to drop her off. There was zero reason for him to walk her straight into the executive wing.

But she had been so lost in thought that she hadn't even noticed.

Her brain was just now catching up to reality.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Suddenly, another voice echoed the exact same question.
