She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1151

Thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.

The sudden explosion of cheering actually startled Daphne.

She scratched the back of her neck, looking genuinely confused.

She had only made one shot. Wasn't everyone overreacting just a little bit?

Just as the thought crossed her mind, Sam suddenly grabbed her hand.

Daphne froze.

Just beyond the boundary line, Everett's eyes widened in shock, and he took an aggressive step forward.

But his foot immediately pulled back.

His eyes darted nervously.

Why was he panicking?

What was he trying to do?

He had broken up with her. He was the one who dumped her.

At this point, even if she did something far more intimate than holding hands with another man, it had absolutely nothing to do with him. He had no right to intervene.

Logically, Everett understood that perfectly.

But watching Sam hold her hand in front of everyone still made his blood boil.

Catching sight of the fuming ex out of the corner of his eye, Sebastian leaned in and asked Melanie with an amused lilt to his voice,

"Ms. Royce, does that man... know Ms. Morrell?"

Melanie cast a disgusted sideways glance at Everett.

"That's her toxic ex. A total jerk."

Hearing the sheer venom in her tone, Sebastian couldn't help but laugh.

"I see. No wonder..."

"No wonder what?"

Melanie raised a curious eyebrow at him.

"No wonder he looks so insanely jealous."

"He has the nerve to be jealous?"
