Melanie had not encountered Simon and his friends for quite some time. Her relationship with Simon had always been bad, so she intended to ignore their presence.

He continued, “How do you plan to defeat Evelyn looking like this?”
Melanie had been facing numerous challenges at work, resulting in stress. Despite recent efforts of recuperating, she remained pretty slender.
However, her facial features had always stood out from the crowd. Her weight loss added a touch of delicate beauty. Simon’s comment about her looking unattractive stemmed from his dislike for her, prompting him to say such things deliberately.
Initially reluctant to get into a conflict with him, Melanie could not help but look at him upon hearing
Evelyn’s name.

Cutting to the chase, Xander asked, “Just tell me. Why did you call me out for dinner?”
“Did you forget it’s Dad’s birthday next month?” Liana casually asked. “Why don’t you follow us back? He called me last night. I can’t go back without you.
