He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 192

Yardley cut him off coldly.

"Is that so? I thought you guys only had eyes for Julian and didn't consider me a friend anymore."

Gordon looked incredibly awkward. "...How could you say that, Yardley? Don't overthink it."

"I don't have the mood for drinks. Sylvia took a massive hit tonight. If she does something stupid, none of us will be able to live with ourselves."

"Julian, since you refuse to go after her, then as her cousin, I have to go check on her. Just because you don't care doesn't mean I don't!"

Yardley spoke with righteous indignation, sounding perfectly noble.

Scarlett found it grating and simply waved her hand dismissively.

"If you're going, then hurry up. If you wait any longer, your precious cousin might jump into a river, the ocean, or off a building, and end up dragging us into it."

Talia Gray waved her hand in agreement, impatiently urging him out, eager for Yardley—this absolute buzzkill—to leave.

"Go, go, stop ruining our vibe. Yardley, you're done here. Go chase after your cousin."

Julian picked up his glass, his smile still light and breezy.

"Come on, a toast to everyone. Thank you all for welcoming me back tonight."

Yardley stood frozen in place, feeling like an irrelevant piece of background scenery, completely shut out by all of them.

No one cared if he stayed or left.

And no one cared about Sylvia's safety.

In fact, it felt like everyone found him to be an eyesore, a nuisance they couldn't wait to be rid of.

Yardley's composure shattered completely.

In all his life, he had never been so isolated, so dismissed, so deeply disrespected.

He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the room before finally locking onto Scarlett. His eyes were particularly icy.

They weren't divorced yet. She was still his wife.

The thought fueled Yardley as he lunged forward, roughly grabbing Scarlett by the wrist.

Before Scarlett could even process what was happening, Yardley hoisted her right over his shoulder without a single word.

Caught completely off guard, Scarlett thrashed wildly.

"Yardley, what the hell are you doing? Put me down!"
