He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1073

In the past, seeing Corinne like this would have drawn Yardley's sympathy, and he would have gently consoled her. But now, the illusion of family loyalty was completely shattered. When it truly mattered, not a single one of his so-called family members could help him—especially his mother, Corinne, who only ever made things worse.

If she had even half of Elara's grace and composure. If she had even half of Elara's ability to look at the bigger picture. He wouldn't have ended up in this desperate situation. But even now, looking at his mother's face, all he saw was entitlement and anger. There wasn't a single shred of self-reflection.

His tone turned ice-cold. "If you don't swallow it, who will? The only reason you ended up in this position is because you brought it on yourself."

The words were heavy, slamming into Corinne's chest like a sledgehammer. She jerked her head up, staring at the son she had endlessly pampered, her whole body trembling. "Yardley, what... what did you just say? How can you speak to your mother like that? If you won't help me, fine, but you're actually blaming me?!"

Yardley's eyes remained completely devoid of warmth. "Ask yourself, isn't it the truth?" He purposefully lowered his voice. "If it weren't for you making a fool of yourself time and time again, constantly stirring up drama and pushing this family to the brink, we wouldn't be in this mess."

Corinne shot to her feet, violently grabbing Yardley by the collar. "You... you're blaming all of this on me?! I gave birth to you! I raised you through all those bitter hardships, and this is what I get?! You... you ungrateful son!"
