He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 249

Scarlett wore a sharply tailored black-and-white striped shirt, the collar slightly open to reveal her slender, pale neck. Paired with a high-waisted black A-line skirt and a pair of three-inch black stilettos, her legs looked endlessly long and straight.

She exuded an aura of unapproachable, high-end elegance, like a freshly unsheathed sword—gleaming with cold light and bearing a razor-sharp edge.

Standing there, she formed a brutal contrast with Yardley's current state of utter ruin, looking like a withered husk entirely drained of its soul.

Scarlett was currently on the phone with Talia.

Julian must have still felt uneasy and filled her in on the situation.

Talia had immediately called Scarlett. "Scarlett, you're going to City Hall to file for divorce, and you didn't even tell me about something this huge?"

"Today is just submitting the application," Scarlett replied. "The official divorce won't happen for another month. I can handle it on my own, it's fine."

"Absolutely not!" Talia huffed. "As your bestie-in-chief, I am severely warning you: I must be present for every major step of your life from now on. Don't you dare pull a stunt like you did when you gave birth and hide it from me again! If you do, I'll be so heartbroken!"

Scarlett couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I mostly figured you were still at work and didn't want you to have to ask for time off just to come keep me company."

Talia burst out laughing. "Who cares about that? Work is nothing compared to my girl Scarlett. Besides, you know I work at my cousin's firm."

"Wait for me by the entrance, I'll be there in a flash! My cousin just bought a Ferrari, and when he heard you were getting a divorce, he said he was personally going to drive me to City Hall to support you! We're here to make a statement!"

"We even made a banner for you! We're going to unroll it the second you and Yardley walk out the doors. It says: Congrats Scarlett: Free at Last! May your future be paved with fortune, fame, and fine men!"
