He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 334

Leah rushed upstairs in a panic, hastily pulling on her clothes. Pushing the door open, she was shocked to see Yardley collapsed on the floor, and even more shocked to see Sylvia right beside him.

Without time to overthink the bizarre scene, they quickly dialed for an ambulance and rushed him to the hospital in the dead of night.

By the time Scarlett got home, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

The lights were still on at the Magnolia Villa. When she pushed the door open, she was surprised to find the brightly lit living room packed with people.

Julian, Talia, Gordon, and Stellan were all there. Even Jacqueline hadn't gone to bed.

Worry was etched across everyone's faces.

They had been brainstorming how to deal with Yardley and get Scarlett out of his clutches.

A rapid blush spread across Sylvia's face. She lowered her head and stayed silent, but her expression said it all.

Corinne's world spun. "Oh my god, Sylvia... you... you and Yardley... you two..."

Sylvia's face flushed even deeper, her head burying so low that the redness crept all the way down her neck.

No one noticed the wild, arrogant triumph flashing in her eyes.

Yardley was her only lifeline right now, and she had to hold onto him at all costs... Besides, she wasn't completely powerless anymore.

A few days ago, when she was getting the DNA test done for Scarlett's daughter, she remembered her own status as an adopted child.

On a whim, after consulting the staff, she submitted her blood to the database, hoping to find her biological parents—
