He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1068

A full week of non-stop, exhausting hustle had finally bought the company a brief moment to breathe.

As dusk settled heavily over the city, Yardley dragged his exhausted body back into his sprawling, luxurious CEO office.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the dazzling night view of Bay City stretched out before him. The office was as imposing as ever, but sitting in his massive leather chair, he felt nothing but crushing weight and helpless frustration.

The great Flynn empire was already crumbling, reduced to nothing more than a hollow shell.

Exhaustion seeped into his bones. He rubbed his aching temples, his gaze slowly drifting to a small photograph framed on the corner of his desk.

It was a picture of young Dawn, her soft features bright with a sweet, radiant smile.

She was the only remaining light in the bleak, suffocating darkness of his life.

Just looking at his daughter's face helped ease the tension in his nerves and slightly lifted the crushing fatigue.

Yardley picked up his phone, his thumb hovering over the screen, ready to text Scarlett to ask when he could visit Dawn next.

But in the next second, a barrage of breaking news alerts flooded his screen. The bold, glaring headlines violently seized his attention, hitting him like physical blows.

[BREAKING! Flynn Group Founder Franklin Flynn Dies of Sudden Heart Attack at 65!]

[Billionaire Family Feud Tops Trends! Mother & Daughter-in-Law Brawl at Press Conference! Corinne Quinn's Implants Ruptured! Total Disgrace!]

Those two headlines instantly shattered all of Yardley's remaining composure.

His body jerked violently. His blood ran ice cold, and he shot out of his chair, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the phone, his entire body trembling.

His father was dead?!
