She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1163

Preston Whitmore knew Melanie Royce wanted to focus entirely on accompanying Daphne Morrell.

He shouldn't intrude.

Running into Sebastian York and Sam Harrison was just an accident.

Thinking of this, Preston suddenly shook his head.

No...

Running into Sam was an accident.

But running into Sebastian was a different story.

Whether it was pulling Melanie onto the dance floor on Luna Isle, or bringing her shoes outside the Royce Group.

Those were not the actions of a mere client or a casual friend.

Preston had a razor-sharp instinct for romantic rivals.

First came Shawn Sterling.

Now came Sebastian York.

And if his intuition was right, Shawn was also a York.

"The York family..."

Preston murmured, his voice laced with ice.

Gabriel Whitmore had no idea what his brother was muttering about.

He only knew that his future sister-in-law was at risk of being stolen away, and his brother needed to take action.

"Preston, if you aren't going to go over there, at least call her or shoot her a text," Gabriel suggested.

Hearing the advice, Preston fell silent for a moment before shaking his head.

He had already decided to give her space, so he wouldn't initiate contact.

He didn't want to smother her with pressure.

He was terrified that clinging too tightly would suffocate Melanie and push her away.

Seeing the complex emotions crossing Preston's chiseled face, Gabriel suppressed a sigh, grumbling internally.

Was he overthinking this?

With a face like his, he could get away with absolutely anything.

In Emberton.

Melanie had been distracted all day, and it had nothing to do with touring the local sights.

She couldn't understand how Preston could just completely ignore her.

Was it just because Miles was tailing her?

But Sebastian was right here.

Back on Luna Isle, Preston had been insanely jealous of him.
