He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 221

Yardley stood before the closed door of the private room. Hearing the laughter and applause from inside, that suffocating loneliness of being abandoned by the entire world washed over him once more.

Melanie stared at his devastated expression, practically seething with frustration. She yanked his wrist hard.

"Yardley, can you pull yourself together? What is so great about a woman like that to make you act this way?"

"Stop standing here. Come home with me, and we'll sit down and figure out how to put her in her place! I can't stand watching this anymore!"

Instead of flying into a rage and shaking her off as he normally would, Yardley merely glanced at her hand wrinkling his cuff. His eyes were as cold as ice.

"Melanie, my business doesn't need interference from anyone in the Flynn family."

"I'm warning you—now that you're back, you'd better behave. Don't go looking for trouble with Scarlett. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried the oppressive weight of a man accustomed to absolute authority.

Melanie choked on her words, her face turning pale as she watched him turn and stride down the hallway until he disappeared.

Sitting in his car, Yardley didn't immediately start the engine.

He closed his eyes, his mind entirely consumed by Scarlett's resolute face.

Next week, their divorce case was going to court...

The thought hung over him like a death sentence.

In the business world, Yardley Flynn was a force of nature. He was used to controlling everything, calculating every possible variable.

But now, Scarlett had become the one factor in his life he couldn't control.

It was as if she had a guardian angel. Every move she made was fast, precise, and ruthless, leaving him absolutely no room to breathe.

He had also never imagined that, despite his industry-wide ban on any lawyer representing her, Chatwin Wyatt would take the case at the height of the storm.
