She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 940

Dominic... was nothing more than a weapon in Holden's hands.

In the end, their vicious little scheme hadn't managed to harm the Royce Group at all; instead, it had allowed Melanie's company to rake in a massive profit.

Whether it was the Lockridge family or Dominic himself, they were undoubtedly burning with a furious rage they had no way to vent.

"Honey, I was wrong... Let's get married again, okay? I know I messed up... Let's remarry... I swear I'll treat you right this time..."

The pathetic rambling coming through the phone completely bewildered Melanie.

Just as she opened her mouth to put Dominic in his place, someone abruptly snatched the phone from her hand.

Melanie's eyes went wide as she watched Preston hold her device, ruthlessly ending the call without a single word and swiftly blocking Dominic's number for good measure.

Melanie parted her lips, stunned.

Wait... Dominic was an executive for the Lockridges now, and she still had business dealings with them. What was Preston thinking, just blocking a VP like that?

Melanie stared at Preston.

Even though he hadn't spoken a single syllable, the storm brewing across his features was genuinely terrifying.

Melanie simply shrugged.

Dominic was just a drunk rambling about getting back together, and she hadn't agreed to it. Was there really a need for Preston to look so murderous?

Besides, Preston wasn't even her boyfriend anymore. Her talking to her ex-husband was technically none of his business.

Despite justifying it in her head, Melanie still felt an instinctive urge to placate him.

"You've blocked him. He can't call back. Don't be mad, okay?"

Melanie spoke softly, holding out her palm in a gesture for him to return her phone.

But Preston's face remained rigid, and he didn't budge an inch.

Melanie chuckled helplessly and added,

"I'll let you buy that dress for me, how about that?"

Hearing that, Preston's mood visibly improved, and he finally handed the device back to her.

Watching from the sidelines, Elara's eyes burned with furious, red-rimmed envy.
