He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1064

Zachary’s voice was calm but resolute. "That's exactly the logic."

A heavy weight settled over the room as the sheer scale of the threat became clear.

"Their calculation is simple," Zachary continued, his gaze sharp. "Kane acts as the muscle, while the mastermind pulls the strings from the shadows. As long as they seize control of the M2 project, those billions can be seamlessly laundered through its operations, erasing any trace of dirty money. Once the project is fully established, tearing down their network will be near impossible."

Julian leaned against the sofa, keeping his injured back slightly arched away from the cushions. His face was still pale. He pressed his fingertips against his knees, his hands slowly balling into fists.

"If that’s the case, this goes way beyond corporate rivalry. We aren’t just blocking Kane’s cash flow; we’re standing in the way of a massive, deeply entrenched criminal syndicate."

"That’s why they went straight to hiring mercenaries for an execution in the garage," Scarlett said, her brows tightly knit. "If Julian and I die, the project loses its leadership, and Kane swoops in to take over. With the mastermind pushing things along behind closed doors, everything falls perfectly into their lap."

Juno, who had been sitting quietly in the armchair, had lost all her usual brightness. She had assumed this was just standard cutthroat business—stealing projects and poaching resources. She never imagined it went deep enough to involve organized murder.

She instinctively looked at Zachary. He sat there, dissecting a lethal conspiracy with the casual detachment of someone discussing the weather. It was a level of absolute composure and terrifying dominance she had never seen in any other man.

"Are they..." Juno murmured, her voice laced with disbelief. "Are they really willing to just kill people over money?"
