She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 908

"Daphne, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing..."

Daphne waved off Melanie's concern.

Melanie didn't push the issue.

It was glaringly obvious that something was weighing heavily on her friend's mind.

Even without asking, she could guess what it was with startling accuracy—

It definitely had everything to do with Everett.

Was this the suffocating agony of being trapped by love?

Suddenly, an image of Preston Whitmore flashed through Melanie's mind.

Melanie shook her head firmly.

She absolutely wasn't trapped by anything of the sort!

She was the one who had dumped Preston.

And she was the one who had refused to get back together with him.

However...

Rather than being trapped by love, she felt an undeniable, lingering sense of guilt toward him.

Her rejection had never been about him lacking in any way.

It was because of the Whitmore family, and the baffling, unresolved mystery surrounding her mother's death four years ago.

At that thought, Melanie let out a soft sigh.

The emotional roadblocks between her and Preston couldn't be fixed overnight. Right now, helping Daphne conquer Everett took priority.

Over at the counter, the five outfits had already been packaged.

But the associate handed Melanie six shopping bags.

"Hmm? Isn't there an extra one here?"

Melanie asked, momentarily confused.

The associate offered a polite smile.

"Not at all. This one is a gift for you from Mr. Whitmore."

She gestured gracefully to one of the pristine bags.

Melanie peeked inside and saw a dress that definitely wasn't among the ones Daphne had tried on.

"Oh my, Mr. Whitmore..."

Daphne immediately leaned in, nudging Melanie teasingly.
