She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1220

Should she... give Sam a bit more time and another chance?

After all, everyone had flaws.

Just because she couldn't stand Sam didn't mean Daphne wasn't genuinely into him.

But...

Melanie's mind was in knots, feeling like she was just spinning her wheels in the exact same spot.

It was Daphne and Sam's relationship, yet she was the one stressing over it to the point of exhaustion.

"Ugh!"

Melanie couldn't stop herself from pressing a hand to her forehead and letting out a long, heavy sigh.

"Mel, what's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"

Daphne asked, her voice laced with concern.

She could clearly sense Melanie's foul mood. Her friend's energy was completely drained, as if a dark storm cloud was hovering right over her head.

If Melanie had been mad at Sam, that anger should have blown over by now.

As far as Daphne knew, Melanie had never been the petty or vindictive type.

Yet no matter how hard she racked her brain, Daphne never suspected that Melanie's intense frustration at that exact moment was entirely out of worry for her romantic life.

Not wanting to stick Daphne in the middle, Melanie forced herself to temporarily shut off her thoughts about whether or not the relationship should continue.

At the very least, she needed to get through this dinner first.

With that in mind, the smile returned to Melanie's face.

Though, it was inevitably a bit forced.

"Melanie?!"

Suddenly, someone called her name.

The voice wasn't unfamiliar to Melanie.

It just...

Wasn't a voice she wanted to hear.

Raising her eyes, Melanie's gaze collided with Dominic Hale's.

Dominic's eyes were blazing, as if he was desperately trying to hold something back.

"What a coincidence, running into you here."

Dominic closed the distance with long, purposeful strides.

But Melanie's attention shifted immediately to the people trailing behind him.

One was the woman she absolutely despised: Aria Royce.
