She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 1230

A sudden, eerie silence washed over the entire gymnasium.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the brewing confrontation between Preston and Shawn.

After a long pause, Shawn let out a sharp laugh.

"Fine, fine. You're definitely better at sweet-talking my Angel than I am."

He forcefully tossed the basketball straight at Preston's chest.

"One-on-one. If you lose, you disappear from her life completely. Fair enough?"

Preston caught the ball effortlessly with one hand.

"And when you lose, you vanish from hers."

His tone was absolute, radiating a deadly certainty in his impending victory.

Shawn narrowed his eyes.

He absolutely despised Preston's unwavering confidence.

Then again, those brutal three-pointers in the final minutes proved the man had serious skills.

"Are you guys going for a showdown?"

Sam jogged over, eyes alight with excitement.

"I'll ref! Let's... make it a game to twenty-one! Sound good?"

Standard one-on-one matches usually only went up to eleven points.

Shots outside the arc were worth two, and inside were worth one.

The scoring player kept possession.

If they missed, and the other grabbed the rebound, possession flipped.

First to eleven took the crown.

However, twenty-one-point matches weren't entirely unheard of.

The scoring rules were the same, but it dragged the game out, making it an absolute test of endurance.

It required massive scoring streaks to build a lead.

It was blatantly obvious to everyone that Sam just wanted to watch a bloodbath.

The more brutal the game, the more entertaining it was for the audience.

"I have no objections,"

Preston agreed instantly, entirely unbothered by the marathon scoreline.

Shawn, however, stayed dead silent.
