He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 24

The woman sitting in front of her was Dawn's biological grandmother, yet there was not a shred of affection on her face—only cold, calculating cruelty.

Even though she had been married to Yardley for five years, Scarlett had paid for all her own expenses. Yardley had given her a credit card after their wedding, but Corinne had confiscated it the very next day.

Corinne had always guarded against Scarlett like she was a thief, terrified that Scarlett would steal the Flynn family fortune. And now, she was treating her own granddaughter with the exact same disdain.

A mocking smirk touched Scarlett's lips. "That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."

"I'll sign the divorce papers, but my daughter is getting every cent she is owed. Given Yardley's current net worth, asking for a fifty-million-dollar trust fund for my daughter isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Corinne slammed her hand against the armrest, her vision going black for a second. "Fifty million dollars? You have some nerve! Why don't you just go rob a bank?"

"Honestly, fifty million feels a bit low. The Flynn family has a massive empire and countless real estate assets. Throwing in a few commercial buildings and penthouses for Dawn is perfectly reasonable."

Corinne looked like she was about to pass out, her voice trembling with rage. "You... you're out of your mind! As long as I'm breathing, you won't get a single dime from the Flynn family!"

"I knew you had ulterior motives when you went after Yardley, but he was completely blind to it! Now you're finally showing your true colors! Scarlett, this is the day I've been waiting for!"

Triumphant, Corinne stood up and waved her phone in the air. "Did you think you were the only one who knew how to record a conversation? I just recorded every single word you said, Scarlett!"

"I'm sending this to Yardley right now so he can see you for what you really are!"
