She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1156

Seeing Everett struck silent, Daphne grabbed Melanie's hand and turned to leave.

Operating on pure instinct, Everett stepped forward to chase after them, reaching out his hand. He wanted to invite Daphne and Melanie to lunch. If Melanie was there, Daphne might not be so defensive. It was rare for three people from Averin to run into each other in Emberton; sharing a meal just made sense.

His mind raced to put the invitation into words, but before he could speak, two figures appeared out of nowhere, flanking Daphne and Melanie.

"Let me buy you ladies lunch! It's the least I can do as a local," Sam Harrison offered smoothly.

Daphne tilted her head. "But you aren't even from Emberton."

"I still know it better than you two! I know all the best spots. Just leave it to me."

Seeing Sam pat his chest with such confidence, Daphne hesitated and looked at Melanie, silently asking for her opinion.

"Since your idol is volunteering, you should give him a chance," Melanie said.

Sam pumped his fist in excitement.

Beside them, Sebastian spoke up softly. "Would you mind... if I tagged along? I'll pay for my own share."
