He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 231

Nathan didn't dare say another word. He immediately stepped aside to make the calls.

Before Yardley Flynn could even finish his coffee, Nathan had already contacted the three major real estate firms. Drenched in a cold sweat, he anxiously returned to his boss to report.

"Mr. Flynn, I've informed all of them, but... but..."

Yardley glared at him. "Get to the point!"

"They said the contracts have already gone through the final approval process. The partnership is locked in, and tomorrow's signing ceremony is just a formality. They also said..."

Yardley's temples throbbed. "Said what?"

Sweat dripped down Nathan's face, his legs trembling slightly. "They said that if you strongly object, they would rather be stripped of their membership in the Property Developers' Association than lose their partnership with Croft Design Studio."

He swallowed hard. "They consider Croft Design's blueprints to be the absolute gold standard in the industry. They believe it's an honor to work with them and refuse to give up such a rare, long-term opportunity."

Yardley was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected this. These three CEOs had just recently been calling him their friend, swearing absolute loyalty and close cooperation. Yet now, they were quietly jumping ship, willing to forfeit their association memberships just to work with Julian Croft.

So, in their eyes, his authority was already eclipsed by Julian's?

It was bad enough that Scarlett had become Julian's partner, but was his own hard-earned industry dominance—the empire he had spent years building—really being threatened by Julian?

A little, virtually unknown architectural studio was making three top-tier development firms flock to it, willing to risk his wrath just to sign a deal...

Refusing to believe it, Yardley roared at Nathan, "Go dig into Croft Design Studio's background right now! Find out what kind of decent work they've actually produced since their founding. I know Julian. For the past few years, he's been working on classified government projects. He hasn't had the time to take on private gigs!"
