She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 815

Today, a small, exclusive business dinner was being held at The Marble Hall.

Nathaniel Royce attended with Melanie Royce and Everett Kingsley.

Naturally, as the CEO of the Royce Group, it was perfectly normal for Melanie to network at such events.

However, in a twist of fate, she ran right into Dominic Hale.

This time, the person standing beside Dominic wasn't Leila Langley, but Julian Lester, the new owner of Apex Organics.

The two men made no effort to hide their association.

It was a blatant declaration to the entire industry—

Apex Organics' supply of Type-L Bio-Fertilizer had been completely bought out by Dominic.

It wasn't hard to figure out why.

Everyone in their circle knew how ugly the divorce between Dominic and Melanie had been.

Now that Dominic had bounced back and risen to power through the Lockridge family, it made perfect sense that he would deliberately sabotage the Royce Group.

"Ms. Royce, it's been a while!"

Swirling a wine glass, Julian approached Melanie and raked his gaze over her from head to toe.

Melanie wore an elegant purple chiffon gown that made her look absolutely breathtaking.

Julian openly ogled her, looking her up and down repeatedly until Dominic's expression soured.

"Mr. Lester..."

Hearing Dominic's warning tone, Julian finally pulled his eyes away.

"What's wrong, VP Hale? Still hung up on your ex-wife?"

Dominic clenched his jaw at the blatant mockery.

"That abandoned plantation... the soil there does indeed contain a highly unique Core Bio-Strain. And yes, this strain could absolutely replace our Type-L Bio-Fertilizer... However..."

Suddenly, Julian leaned in, invading Melanie's personal space.

Melanie immediately took a step back.

"Look at you, why are you hiding? I'm trying to tell you a crucial secret..."

He crooked his finger at her and then tapped his own cheek.

"Come here. Give me a kiss, and I'll tell you."

Before he could even finish his sentence, Melanie flicked her wrist, splashing her entire glass of red wine directly into Julian's face.

Julian stood there, dripping and dumbfounded, completely caught off guard.

Beside him, Dominic was equally paralyzed by shock.
