She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1221

Sam had absolutely no clue about the tangled web of bad blood between Melanie, Dominic, and Aria. Judging by the way they were interacting, he just assumed they were all business acquaintances or old friends.

Dominic didn't move a muscle, merely eyeing Sam with a mix of surprise and sharp scrutiny.

Dressed in a cheap tracksuit, Sam didn't look like he belonged anywhere near the corporate world.

Naturally, Dominic's gaze drifted over to Daphne.

Sam was sitting right next to Daphne, while Melanie sat across from them.

The seating arrangement made it instantly clear to Dominic.

Sam was likely Daphne's friend—or more accurately, her boyfriend.

That explained why Sam had casually invited them to sit down and eat.

It was obvious Sam had no idea Dominic was Melanie's ex-husband.

Or that their divorce had been incredibly messy and the talk of the town.

"Sure! Since you're offering such a gracious invitation, it'd be rude to refuse. We'll join you."

"Mr. Hale!"

Aria couldn't stop herself from crying out.

She had zero desire to share a meal with Melanie.

More importantly, this restaurant was tiny and rundown. There was no way she was eating in a dump like this.

In truth, the three of them had only wandered into the place by accident.

After wrapping up a business meeting nearby, the freezing weather had driven them to find the closest place serving hot food.

This hot pot spot was the only thing open, so they decided to give it a shot.

But the moment they saw the shabby, outdated interior, they were deeply disappointed and were just about to walk right back out.

If Dominic hadn't spotted Melanie the second they walked in, they wouldn't have stayed this long.

And now they were actually going to eat in this dilapidated shack?

Aria's glare shifted from Dominic straight to Melanie.

What a shameless homerecker!

She cursed Melanie viciously in her mind.
