He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1094

The swarm of men instantly surrounded Scarlett and Julian.

With their escape route completely blocked, Scarlett instinctively leaned into Julian. His expression hardened, and he immediately pulled her tightly against his chest, shielding her.

Seeing this, Sean was absolutely terrified. The lighter slipped from his trembling fingers, hitting the ground with a sharp clatter.

He had only wanted to extort some money, which was why he had lured Scarlett here.

He never imagined that Veronica was this ruthless—that she had actually come with lethal intent, ready to kill!

Seeing the danger, Scarlett instinctively tried to step forward.

Julian's hand firmly gripped her wrist, his voice low and steady. "Don't do anything rash."

Their two personal bodyguards immediately stepped up, flanking them on the left and right. Their bodies were tense, ready to fight at a moment's notice.

But the sheer number of opponents, armed and prepared, made the situation incredibly perilous.

The most concerning part was that Stellan had left around the same time they did, yet there was still no sign of him. Neither Scarlett nor Julian had received a single text from him.

This meant he must have run into trouble on the way; otherwise, given his usual reliability, he would have definitely sent an update.

"Julian, weren't you just bragging about protecting your wife?"

"Let's see how you protect her tonight when you can't even save yourself!"

"You ruined my project, cut off my future, and publicly humiliated me. Tonight, I'm making sure both of you go down right here!"

"This is a deserted mountain in the dead of night. Even if something happens to you, no one will ever trace it back to me!"

With a cold sneer, Veronica waved her hand, signaling the hired thugs to attack.
