He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 215

The object clutched in Sylvia's hand was a sharply honed paring knife.

As the cold steel gleamed in the light, Scarlett's pupils dilated in shock. "Sylvia, you're out of your mind!" she gasped.

"That's right! I'm out of my mind! And I'm going to kill you! You're the reason my life is ruined!"

Sylvia's eyes were feral. Completely unhinged, she gripped the handle tightly and drove the blade toward Scarlett.

Just moments ago in Julian's office, she had tried everything—throwing a tantrum, begging for forgiveness, dropping to her knees, even slapping herself in a desperate display of repentance. None of it had worked. Julian had remained entirely cold, unyielding in his demand for a divorce. He had made it explicitly clear: if she dragged this out, she would walk away with absolutely nothing. Forced into a corner by the threat of losing her financial payout, she had no choice but to sign the settlement agreement.

But the bitter resentment festering inside her grew like a wild weed. The thought of Julian becoming a single man, spending every day working side-by-side with Scarlett... the possibility of them ending up together clawed at her sanity.

When she had passed the breakroom and spotted the paring knife, she had grabbed it on pure, twisted impulse.

She had nothing left to lose. Right now, her only desire was to plunge the knife into Scarlett. She refused to let this woman have the man she couldn't keep. Why should Scarlett get everything while she lost it all?

The angrier Sylvia became, the faster and wilder her thrusts grew. She stabbed viciously at Scarlett. Fortunately, Jacqueline had insisted on Scarlett learning self-defense from a young age, sending her to martial arts training camps every summer. Her reflexes were sharp.

Seeing the blade coming at her, Scarlett twisted her body sideways and executed a flawless backward evasion, easily breaking free from Sylvia's chokehold.

Sylvia slashed wildly at the air, missing every time. Driven to the edge, she tightened her grip and lunged forward with all her remaining strength.

"You ruined my life, you bitch!" she shrieked, her eyes bloodshot, looking utterly demonic. "You wanted to ruin my marriage so you could take my place, didn't you? Well, let's see if you live long enough to try! I'm ending you right now!"

Seeing the absolute madness in Sylvia's eyes, Scarlett realized the woman was out for blood.
