What?!
So, according to Yardley's theory, Scarlett had stealthily managed to snatch away the two most important men in her life without anyone noticing?! Sylvia felt as if her allure had been utterly and completely crushed into the dirt.
No. She couldn't accept this reality. Not even a little bit.
"Yardley, that's nonsense! It's impossible. Completely impossible!"
"How could she possibly have the charm to make you refuse to let go, while keeping Julian completely obsessed? That's ridiculous. Just absurd!"
Clutching her head, Sylvia felt instantly sick. She lacked the strength to even drive, her palms slick with cold sweat.
Yardley, meanwhile, was consumed by a raging inferno. He felt a twisted sense of vindication, finally pushing through the fog and identifying the true culprit. His eyes were cold as ice.
Right then, Nathan called. "Mr. Flynn, we've located her car. It's parked outside a place called the Firebrand Grill. She, Julian, Gordon, Harbour... all your close friends are there. Her best friend Talia is there too."
Yardley's breathing stopped.
Great. Just great...
It wasn't just his wife and his best friend betraying him. They had hijacked his entire social circle.
For such a massive get-together, he would have ordinarily been the center of attention. Everyone used to ask for his input before making plans and sincerely invite him to join. But tonight, he was starving, hadn't eaten dinner, and hadn't received a single call from his so-called friends. It was as if they had all collectively erased him from their memories.
