She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1141

Even before tip-off, the massive stadium was packed to the rafters.

VIP courtside tickets were notoriously impossible to get, and their seats offered an unobstructed, flawless view of the action.

"Melanie, seriously... thank you."

Daphne couldn't hold back her gratitude any longer.

She knew how much leverage and cash it must have cost to secure seats like these.

"If you thank me one more time, I'm actually going to get mad."

Melanie playfully pinched Daphne's nose.

She had indeed called in several heavy-hitting favors to make this happen.

But in her eyes, it was worth every penny and every favor.

It was painfully obvious that the breakup had left Daphne numb to the world, but this game had finally sparked some life back into her.

A few moments later, the buzzer sounded, and the game began.

Melanie discreetly scanned the court multiple times but couldn't find a single player who genuinely caught her eye.

Even Daphne’s ultimate obsession—The Gladiators' star center, Sam Harrison—was only conventionally handsome at best.

But there was no denying his talent; despite his massive height and muscular build as a center, he moved across the hardwood with explosive, fluid agility.

It made sense why Daphne was so fiercely captivated by him...

Resting her chin in her hand, Melanie turned her attention to her best friend.

Daphne was entirely consumed by the game, her hands clasped tightly together in an anxious knot, clearly sweating bullets for her team and her idol.

A soft, knowing smile touched Melanie's lips.

Thank god...

The light had returned to Daphne's eyes.

It proved that Everett's betrayal hadn't permanently broken her spirit.

Honestly, Melanie was deeply impressed by her resilience.

She had initially feared that being tossed aside by Everett would destroy Daphne, plunging her into a depressive spiral that could take months to climb out of.

Instead, she had defied all expectations, showing an incredible core of strength.

After one catastrophic, sobbing breakdown that very first night, Daphne had systematically purged her life of everything connected to the man.
