He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 167

Clarissa and Yardley were both struck completely speechless.

Clarissa instinctively reached out and grabbed Scarlett's hand.

"I didn't step in before because I truly believed a husband and wife should handle their own issues without outside interference."

"Scarlett, I know you were treated horribly. Even my dad said Mom's behavior regarding your pregnancy and the baby lacked all class and decency."

"I'm here today to apologize, but I also want to talk to you about the baby's 100-day celebration. My dad wants to throw a massive, high-profile event to publicly make up for everything you've suffered. But the condition is... you have to let go of this grudge. Stop fighting us, and go back to living a good life with Yardley."

Clarissa wasn't speaking with her usual aristocratic arrogance. She was speaking softly, as an equal trying to negotiate.

It was the first time in five years that any Flynn had treated Scarlett like a human being on their level.

In the past, whether it was Clarissa, Catherine, or Melanie, every interaction with Scarlett involved them looking down their noses at her like she was dirt on their shoes.

If Scarlett hadn't metaphorically burned their house down and gone to war, they never would have offered her this level of respect.

Realizing this, Scarlett let out a cold laugh in her mind. On the outside, her face remained an unreadable mask of calm, and she didn't say a word.

Anticipating that Clarissa might show up to play peacemaker, Scarlett had already texted Talia Gray to join her.

The moment Talia got the text, she had floored the gas pedal and rushed over. Standing outside the door, she caught the tail end of Clarissa's speech. Her blood boiled instantly.

With a loud BANG, Talia kicked the private room's door wide open.

"Is the esteemed eldest daughter of the Flynn family here to perform a stand-up routine?"
