She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 907

Everett Kingsley's heart plummeted.

Even without a shred of proof for his paranoia, a suffocating wave of guilt threatened to drown him.

In truth, Everett hadn't looked too closely at the photos Melanie Royce posted on her Feed.

At first, he assumed they were pictures of Melanie herself.

But Melanie never posted selfies.

At least, not the Melanie he knew.

So, initially, his curiosity had been piqued.

However, when he realized the barrage of photos featured Daphne Morrell instead of Melanie, an ominous sense of dread washed over him.

The Daphne in those pictures looked entirely different from her usual self.

She was decked out in high-end designer labels, looking like she belonged on a runway.

The outfit change was highly uncharacteristic, and Melanie specifically tagging him in the post made it even more suspicious.

Sensing something was horribly wrong, Everett immediately stopped scrolling through her Feed.

When Melanie later asked him which style looked best, Everett honestly thought all the dresses were stunning—

Assuming Melanie was the one wearing them.

But seeing Daphne in them felt utterly wrong.

Perhaps it was just because Daphne usually lived in sweatpants and casual wear.

Gripping his darkened phone, Everett's mind spiraled into chaos.

He knew he wasn't just overthinking or being too sensitive.

Melanie had to know something. Why else would she ask for his opinion on Daphne's wardrobe makeover?

Everett's eyes widened in horror.

If Melanie had figured out that he and Daphne had slept together, then...

Then Melanie would never give him a chance in hell, would she?

He squeezed his eyes shut in pure agony, collapsing helplessly onto his desk.

At the Altieri Galleria.

Melanie was at the cash register.

"Melanie, you can't do this."

Daphne stood beside her, desperately trying to intervene.

"These are way too expensive. I can't let you pay for all this. Absolutely not!"

Daphne couldn't help but scold her lightly.

She wasn't actually mad.

Daphne knew better than anyone that Melanie was just looking out for her.

Still, seeing so much money dropped on her behalf made her anxious.

After all, she never believed Everett's lack of interest stemmed from her fashion choices.

The reason Everett didn't want her...

Was simply because of who she was.

At that depressing thought, Daphne's shoulders slumped.

She had talked a big game about actively pursuing Everett, but the truth was, she had zero dating experience, let alone a clue on how to seduce a man.

So...

How on earth was she supposed to win him over?

Would a wardrobe change really do the trick?

Daphne massaged her temples, overwhelmed by a suffocating sense of helplessness.

As Melanie finalized the transaction, she caught Daphne's miserable expression from the corner of her eye.
