He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1085

Scarlett certainly hadn't expected Veronica to be this impatient, practically outing herself by bringing up the M2 Industrial Park unprompted.

This only confirmed that their earlier suspicions were dead-on.

Veronica absolutely knew the inside details, proving that this entire chain of events had been meticulously orchestrated.

A brief, icy glint flashed in Scarlett's eyes, but her expression remained perfectly smooth. "The truth about the M2 Industrial Park?"

Her tone was light but laced with intense scrutiny. "As far as I know, the details regarding the M2 project are currently highly classified within Bay City. How exactly did you find out?"

Veronica jolted, instantly realizing she had slipped up. A flicker of panic crossed her face. "I... I heard rumors, of course! That's not the point, Scarlett!"

"The point is, the only reason you're bailing them out is to get your hands on the M2 project! You're just trying to increase Croft Group's odds of winning the bid!"

"It seems you know far more than just 'rumors'."

Scarlett gave a soft, bone-chilling laugh. "I now have every reason to question exactly where you're getting your intel."

Veronica's eyes darted nervously, but she stubbornly stuck her neck out and yelled back, "I-It's not just me! Half the real estate industry knows! Everyone knows the government is heavily leaning toward partnering with Croft Group right now."
