He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 1098

"I won't pay for your mistakes anymore. I've already paid enough during the first twenty years of my life."

"You conspired to destroy a cultural heritage site and participated in an organized assault and extortion. You broke the law, and you betrayed your conscience. Whatever the consequences are, you'll have to face them yourself."

Scarlett stepped aside, her tone unyielding, without a trace of leniency.

"Take him away. Investigate him strictly according to the law. Whatever the sentence, process him by the book."

The accompanying personnel immediately stepped up, firmly apprehending the slumped Sean.

He instantly flew into a furious, panicked rage, screaming obscenities.

"Scarlett! You ungrateful little bitch!"

"You wouldn't even be alive if it weren't for me! What's so hard about treating me decently?!"

"You just wait! Since you won't show me any mercy, I won't hold back either! When I get out of there, I'll make sure neither of you have a moment of peace!"

...

His screaming quickly faded as he was thoroughly restrained and dragged away.

The open space in front of The Breeze Pagoda was left with nothing but the howling wind and the rustle of leaves blowing across the ground.

Scarlett stood perfectly still, her posture stiff, unmoving for a long time.

Julian reached out several times, wanting to pull her into his arms, but kept stopping himself, thinking he should let her process the complex swirl of emotions first.

His eyes were glued to her, refusing to look away for even a second.

"So, that old guy was...?"

Juno walked up beside Julian, her airy tone tinged with disbelief.

After all, in her eyes, both Scarlett and Zachary were outstanding, extraordinary people.
