She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 880

Melanie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Where did you learn a magic trick like that? From a cartoon?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Elina shook her head.

"No, a gentleman taught me."

"A gentleman?"

Melanie looked at Bryant, completely bewildered.

Bryant shook his head and asked Elina:

"Elina, which gentleman? Does Daddy know him?"

"You don't know him, Daddy... It was the Silver-Haired Stranger."

Hearing the words "Silver-Haired Stranger," the color instantly drained from Melanie's face. She instinctively looked at Preston.

Preston was already looking at her, and their eyes locked.

Bryant smiled wryly.

"The Silver-Haired Stranger? Elina, you shouldn't make up names for people. You should just call him sir."

"He wasn't an older gentleman! Daddy, you don't understand. He was young. His hair was just really white, like the frosting on the cake, hehe!"

Elina's explanation left Bryant even more confused.

He scratched the back of his head, noticing the grim expressions on Melanie and Preston's faces.

"Elina..."

Melanie placed a steadying hand on Elina's slender shoulder.

"Tell me, where did you see this Silver-Haired Stranger? Was it at Vanessa Ellington's birthday party?"

"Mhm, yeah!"

Elina nodded.

"Then tell me exactly how he performed the magic trick to make the Mango Cheesecake taste better."

Now that Melanie had prompted her with a specific setting, Elina's memories naturally flooded back.

Without skipping a beat, Elina detailed exactly how she met Shawn Sterling at Vanessa Ellington's birthday party, and how she ate the Mango Cheesecake that he had supposedly enchanted with his magic trick.

Soon after, Melanie and Preston left Bryant and Elina's apartment.

Once back in the car, Melanie sat in total silence.
