Chapter 182 Why Didn't You Do Something?
"Melanie, were you in the restroom? Did you see Katie?â Camila asked. Melanie nodded and said,
âShe looks really drunk.â Camila responded with an affirmative hum as she headed in the direction
of the restroom. Meanwhile, Melanie curled her lips upward and showed a faint smirk, raising the
glass as she nudged Landon with her elbow. âWe haven't toasted your uncle, have we?â Upon
hearing that, Landon quickly reacted by raising his glass, âUncle, Melanie and I would like to
propose a toast to you. Since you're now one of the studio's shareholders, we wish you a good
fortune with endless money to make.â Nevertheless, Melanie nudged Landon once more and said,
âOh, come on. Can't you think of something else better to say?â âWell, those are practical wishes,
aren't they?â Landon said with a smile. Melanie raised her glass and looked at Silas with an
enchanting smile as if she was trying to cast a spell on him, âPresident Nolan, may all your wishes
come true as you succeed in what you're doing.â As she expected, she managed to entertain Silas
with her subtle use of words because her wish was exactly what Silas wanted. He then took a
glimpse at Melanie and lowered his gaze, slowly taking a sip of the wine in his glass. Despite her
exhilaration, Melanie looked emotionless on the outside, doubting she could easily have Silas under
her spell. Nevertheless, she only wanted to make an impression on the man for now, which required
patience. Then, she quickly shifted her eyes to Brian and Marcus whom she toasted the same way
she did to Silas. Although her response wasn't met with the same amount of enthusiasm as she had,
she believed she could enter their social circle sooner or later as long as she stuck with Landon.
Soon, she quickly took a glimpse across all men who were sitting at the table, realizing that Landon
was outclassed by either of them hands down. I used to think my life would change after being with
Landon, but it seems that I can have more than what I have now. Landon is a good man, but there is
someone else much better than he is. Since I could make Landon fall for me, I could do the same to
the other men and work a little harder for it. If I could be with Silas or Brian, I'd be standing on top
of the world. Even if I couldn't get close to either of them, the big boss of Metrostar Entertainment
is enough to outclass Landon. Anyway, I believe Landon will have my back no matter what happens.
So, I'll just go ahead and see who is willing to become my gold mine. In the meantime, Kate was
leaning on the basin top in a trance when Camila found her. âWhat're you doing here, Katie? Why
didn't you go back out there?â Kate slowly turned around without saying a word as she noticed
Camila's presence. Then, she directly walked up to Camila and hugged her tightly. âCamila.â
Instinctively, Camila patted her back and asked, âWhat's wrong?â âIt's just way too disgusting!â Kate
took a deep breath and exclaimed. âWhat? Who's disgusting?â Camila knitted her brows in
confusion. While she was no longer able to fight back her tears, Kate felt a lump in her throat. âTell
me. Is Landon really blind? Look who he has gotten as his girlfriend.â âYou mean Melanie?â Camila
asked as her face darkened. In a wailing tone, Kate said, âShe knows I have a crush on Landon, yet I
gave in to my anger and blurted out things that I shouldn't have. Then, she said Landon is only
interested in her and will not be interested in someone with a short fuse like me. Also, she called me
annoying, even telling me that they made love three times every night until she begs him to stop. It
all sounds so disgusting, Camila. I can't take it.â As her anger got the better of her, Camila snarled,
âThis woman is such a shameless b*tch! I'm going to talk some sense into Landon and make sure he
dumps her!â Kate immediately seized Camila by the hand and said, âNo! Please don't do that,
Camila. After all, she didnât do anything except provoking me, so I only have myself to blame for not
being able to do anything. Therefore, please don't do anything rash for the sake of my pride!â
Frustrated, Camila berated her, âYou're indeed useless. How could you still fall for it when you knew
she was trying to piss you off on purpose? She was just gloating, wasn't she? And you just stood
there and listened to her in silence? Why didn't you talk back or hit her? How could you let her walk
away like nothing ever happened?â
