He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 186

Julian finally noticed Yardley standing there. Seeing him in his tailored suit with a business carry-on, Julian immediately grasped the situation.

His expression remained cool, devoid of any warmth toward his former best friend. In fact, his gaze turned distinctly frosty.

"I heard the Flynn family issued an industry-wide blacklist against Scarlett..."

"Is this really how the Flynns treat the woman who joined your family for five years and bore your children? Your family's values are certainly eye-opening."

Yardley instantly caught the hostility in his tone. His eyes sharpened. "Julian, answer my question. Since when did you and Scarlett get so close?"

The corner of Julian's lips curled up, his eyes icy. "A long time ago. In fact, long before you."

Yardley's pupils dilated in absolute shock. "You're lying! You two didn't even know each other! How is that possible?!"

Scarlett stood quietly, watching Yardley's hysterical reaction with total inner peace. Since Julian was the hidden boss of the studio, they really had known each other for a long time. Even back in college, she had taken on freelance projects with Croft Design and had shared countless creative exchanges with him.

The only thing that confused her was that Julian and Yardley used to be incredibly close. Why did she now sense an undeniable disgust radiating from Julian toward him? Was he also disgusted by Yardley and Sylvia's crossed boundaries?

"Not only have Scarlett and I known each other for a long time, but moving forward, we are partnering up in our studio to collaborate deeply in the design field."

"So, I'm sorry to say, your family's plan to blacklist her isn't going to pan out."

"Oh, right. And regarding your accusation that Scarlett stole the core designs for Zenith Tower... our studio will be hiring legal counsel to take this to court. We'll settle exactly who owns the copyright once and for all."

"It's drafty here, Scarlett. Let's go."
