She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 932

"You really have a talent for dodging accountability, Mr. Lockridge."

Before Melanie could even respond, Preston fired the shot.

"If our Ms. Royce hadn't handled herself brilliantly, and if she didn't have a reliable partner like Stellaris backing her up, her entire supplement line would have been shut down back at Minister Halevy's banquet."

"Exactly!"

Gabriel practically threw his hand in the air to back Preston up.

"That blood-sugar supplement is our product too! Do you even know how much money we stood to lose? Could the Lockridge Group actually afford to cover that?!"

Unwilling to cross swords with Gabriel, Holden could only settle for glaring furiously at Preston.

But the second he met Preston's eyes, he felt an icy chill shoot down his spine. It was like staring into a bottomless abyss.

Holden knew Preston was Melanie's assistant, as well as her ex-boyfriend.

Beyond that, he knew absolutely nothing.

Which was why he couldn't comprehend how a lowly assistant could radiate such suffocating, dominant energy.

It was the kind of absolute, effortless power that belonged only to someone at the absolute top of the food chain.

Yet, Holden was seeing it in an assistant.

Completely crumbling under the visual standoff, Holden finally managed a tense smile.

"Please rest assured, I am a man of my word... Even though he's my own flesh and blood, I will not let this slide..."

His expression suddenly twisted, and he bellowed at the top of his lungs.

"Gavin! Get the hell out here! What kind of man cowers behind a woman?!"

Defeated, Gavin stepped out from behind Melanie, looking thoroughly miserable.
