He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1075

The moment the news broke, Scarlett, Julian, and Zachary had just wrapped up a new meeting regarding the M2 Industrial Park project. The preliminary groundwork for the project was steadily falling into place.

Massaging her stiff neck, Scarlett took a cup of coffee from Julian and stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the city skyline, finally enjoying a brief moment of peace.

Suddenly, Julian stepped up, his tone heavy. "Scarlett, Franklin Flynn passed away."

Hearing the name caught her off guard. She snapped her head up. "Julian, what did you just say? Who passed away?"

"Franklin, Yardley's father. He died of a sudden heart attack."

"What?" Scarlett almost dropped her coffee. Luckily, Julian noticed and steadied her wrist.

Zachary walked over, his expression grim. "I have a feeling Franklin's death is a trap set by Thorne Industries and the forces backing Kane Stetson."

Julian and Scarlett froze. Scarlett asked, "What do you mean?"

Slipping a hand into his pocket, Zachary spoke in a low voice. "Kane's side is desperate to steal the M2 project from us, so they've locked their sights on the Flynn Group, knowing they're a massive piece of meat. They know the company is drowning in crises and endless PR disasters. They want to kick them while they're down, create maximum chaos, and then acquire the entire corporation for pennies. Franklin's death might have been a calculated step in their plan."

Pulling out his phone, Zachary handed a freshly analyzed data report to Julian and Scarlett. "Look at this. Thorne Industries has been making a lot of moves lately, both in the open and behind closed doors. Veronica's press conference, where she intentionally aired the Flynn family's dirty laundry, was entirely designed to crash the company."
