She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 851

Dominic raised an eyebrow.

"What makes you say that?"

Leila's eyes instantly lit up with calculation.

"Just think about it! I'm just a nobody designer, but you're completely different... You're the absolute favorite in the eyes of the head of the Lockridge family right now. Everyone is convinced you're going to replace Gavin Lockridge and become the heir."

The moment she dropped that line, Dominic shot her a harsh glare.

"Watch your mouth!"

Leila offered an apologetic smile.

"My point is, you're vastly more famous than I am, and I'm your girlfriend. Melanie humiliating me in front of all those powerful people was just her making an example out of me. The real person she was trying to publicly embarrass was you!"

Leila watched Dominic's reaction closely as she fed his ego.

Right now, Dominic was the only person left who had enough power to help her take down Melanie.

She didn't care if he still had lingering feelings for his ex-wife, or if those feelings had curdled into toxic resentment.

All that mattered was that Leila wasn't going to let this perfect opportunity to pit them against each other slip away.

Listening to Leila's twisted logic, Dominic fell silent, deep in thought.

He honestly felt she made a lot of sense.

So Melanie...

Was obviously still obsessed with him.

Because she still cared, she had gone out of her way to mercilessly ruin Leila.

Who could blame her, considering Leila was his current girlfriend!

Thinking about it from that angle, a smug smirk crossed Dominic's lips.

Women were always so damn contradictory.

She'd rather unleash all her bitter rage on his new girlfriend than swallow her pride and beg for him back.

Seeing Dominic stay quiet and actually start smiling, Leila briefly lost her read on what was running through his head.

"Dominic... you can't just let her get away with this. Since your ex-wife deliberately disrespected you first, shouldn't you show her what happens when she crosses the line?"

Leila probed cautiously, her heart leaping with triumph when Dominic nodded in agreement.
