He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 213

Throughout his entire career, Chatwin had never lost a case. Scarlett had always had absolute faith in his expertise and stellar reputation.

So, for an entire afternoon, she detailed the entire history of her marriage, leaving no stone unturned, including the complete backstory of the Zenith Tower design drafts. Chatwin meticulously recorded every single detail.

Julian sat quietly to the side the whole time, his handsome face serious, not uttering a word. But hidden in the depths of his eyes as he looked at Scarlett was a barely perceptible trace of heartache.

Her tone was incredibly calm as she spoke, almost as if she were narrating someone else's life. To her, everything in the past had faded into smoke. No matter how deeply she had once loved, all she wanted now was to sever those ties completely.

As she wrapped up her story, her eyes grew slightly red. "I'm leaving everything in your hands, Chatwin. I want the divorce, and I want all the copyrights to Zenith Tower returned to me."

Chatwin gave her shoulder a reassuring pat. "Consider it done. I've got this."

Julian immediately swatted Chatwin's hand away from her shoulder. "Keep it professional. Keep your hands to yourself. It makes you look sleazy."

Chatwin raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at his lips, his eyes dancing with amusement as he looked at his friend. "Are you the fun police now, man?"

Julian remained completely deadpan. "I'm just worried your lack of boundaries will compromise your professionalism."

Chatwin gave a half-smile, withdrawing his hand, and instead offered it to Scarlett for a handshake. "Looking forward to working with you, gorgeous."

"Is it really necessary to call her that?" Julian asked dryly.

"Every one of my clients is precious to me, especially a lovely lady like this one. If you want, I can call you gorgeous too—"

Unable to take another second of it, Julian kicked him squarely in the rear. "I'm starting to think hiring you was a huge mistake."

Chatwin blinked, swiftly dodging out of the way. "Too late to regret it now."
