He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 302

She immediately opened a social media app and pulled up the trending topics.

Under her covert orchestration, the video of the duet had already been pushed to the top of the trending list. It was all part of her plan.

A fleeting, wicked smirk crossed her eyes before she handed the phone back to Yardley so he could see it for himself.

Watching the two of them on screen, singing a love song with such perfect, natural chemistry, stung his eyes. He covered his face, but a single tear still slipped through his fingers.

Compared to Scarlett going after his family, shorting his company's stock, and callously leaving him kneeling in the rain... this was worse. Seeing her so publicly intimate with Julian before they had even finalized their divorce, and then allegedly hooking up in a car—this was the real blade plunging mercilessly into his heart.

His vision blurred as an agonizing pain consumed him. Taking a deep breath, he tried to steady himself and stared quietly at the video for a long time.

He and Scarlett had never sung a love song together in public.

But he had heard her sing before.

It was during her first year at the Flynn Group as an assistant designer. At the annual gala, her colleagues had cheered and pushed her onto the stage to perform.

Back then, she was slim and fragile, standing under the spotlight with a cool, distant aura, looking like a lone daisy about to bloom.

Just when everyone expected her to freeze with stage fright, she asked for the backing track to Let It Go and sang with absolute confidence.

As the intro played, her voice grew from tentative to explosive. Like a proud winter blossom braving the frost, she sang of freedom and resolve, breaking through all constraints—and breaking right into his heart.

His eyes had been glued to her, his heartstrings violently plucked at the climax of the song.

That night, he remembered the short-haired girl named Scarlett and the solitary courage in her voice.
