She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1186

If his concern had been purely platonic, he should have felt a profound sense of relief hearing that Sam treated her beautifully. He should have been happy for her. But Everett couldn't do it. Hearing her say she liked Sam ignited a chaotic mix of agony and rage in his chest. What gave Sam the right? The guy came off as cheap and entirely unrefined. But he was her idol. And she really did like him. The way she had looked at him at the basketball court in Emberton proved that.

She really had fallen for someone else. And she had done it so fast. Everett's hands curled into tight fists at his sides. He knew he had no right to demand her eternal devotion. He had dumped her. While there was usually a massive disconnect between fans and the reality of their idols, Daphne and Sam had an undeniable bond. She wasn't just a fan; she was incredible at basketball. They shared the same passions. They made sense together. Since Sam was the one who initiated the romance, it was perfectly logical that she would fall for him.

Everett had never considered himself a jealous or possessive man. He had ended things. He should be thrilled she was moving on. He should be wishing them the best. Yet, no matter how hard he tried to force himself into that mindset, he couldn't do it. He didn't want to wish them well. He wanted them to crash and burn. In his mind, Sam was utterly unworthy of her.

"This new guy... does he really treat you that well?"

"Of course he does," Daphne fired back without a second thought. Ever since they started dating, Sam was the one calling her, setting up dates, planning dinners. It was the complete opposite of her dynamic with Everett. Every morning, Sam would even text her the weather forecast. Sure, she could easily check her phone herself, but it was the thought that counted. It showed he cared.
