He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 239

It was Sylvia Stetson.

She had been out shopping at the mall with Melanie Flynn and just happened to spot Scarlett and Julian walking into the baby boutique.

Ditching Melanie, she had instinctively followed them inside, lurking in the shadows.

Pretending to browse through baby clothes, she listened closely, catching every word of their conversation.

Seeing how gentle and attentive Julian was being to Scarlett—and how effortlessly he dropped a fortune on the most expensive play castle in the store for her daughter—the flames of fury within Sylvia raged out of control.

Jealousy twisted her beautiful features into an ugly scowl.

Just days ago, the media had been entirely consumed by the Croft Design Studio signing ceremony.

Seeing massive, high-res photos of Julian standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Scarlett splashed across the front page of every news outlet had already left Sylvia absolutely seething.

She had dragged Melanie to the mall specifically to burn off some of her frustration by maxing out credit cards.

But now, she was forced to watch Julian happily play house, escorting Scarlett around a baby store and spoiling her brat.

The vat of toxic jealousy inside Sylvia tipped over, burning through her veins like battery acid.

The thought that all the extravagant love and attention Julian used to shower on Caleb was now being handed directly to Scarlett's daughter drove her to the brink of insanity.

Suppressing the violent urge to march over and claw Scarlett's face off, Sylvia pulled out her phone, recorded a quick video of the two of them from behind, and immediately retreated to the luxury boutique she had just slipped out of.

Her mind was a chaotic mess of hatred.

Without a second thought, she uploaded the video to the private group chat Melanie had set up.
