He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1048

"You're lying! You're just a heartless monster! This whole family takes zero responsibility for anything!"

"Heartless?" Yardley scoffed, his eyes dead. "Last night, I initiated an asset lockdown and sealed every loophole that was draining money from this company. I did it to save Flynn Group and protect the livelihoods of the thousands of employees standing in this building. Yes, the company is going through a crisis. But I am doing everything in my power to carry it through. I would never liquidate assets and run! So stop spreading your pathetic, malicious rumors!"

Then, he went in for the kill, slicing off her last avenue of escape. "You were so desperate for a payout that you publicly humiliated your own flesh and blood today. You didn't care about the permanent damage this media circus would do to their futures. Tell me, Irene—are they your children, or just your personal ATM machines?"

Irene recoiled like she had been slapped. Her pupils contracted in pure terror, and the words died in her throat. She had gambled everything on the assumption that Yardley would buckle under the pressure of public shame. She never imagined he’d be bulletproof, flipping the narrative and destroying her in three sentences.

Watching her tremble, Yardley realized his patience for this circus was officially dead. His years of being the responsible peacemaker had earned him nothing but betrayal and leeches. If they all wanted to destroy him and the company, he was going to cleanse the rot right here, in front of everyone.

His gaze swept over the cameras and the breathless crowd. His voice rang out with absolute finality.

"Effective immediately, Irene Sommers is permanently terminated from Flynn Group. She is banned from the premises and will never be rehired. Any private debts or illicit promises made by Franklin Flynn are his personal liabilities and have absolutely nothing to do with this corporation. Furthermore, for malicious defamation, inciting corporate panic, and attempting to extort this company, Flynn Group’s legal team will be filing a massive lawsuit against her."
