He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 349

Julian wouldn't believe a single word Sylvia said. Because he knew Scarlett.

It didn't matter that he had known Sylvia longer. Character wasn't measured in years; it was measured in actions. And stealing a baby to forge medical documents was exactly the kind of unhinged behavior Sylvia was known for. Scarlett, on the other hand, would never stoop so low.

Sylvia stared at him as if he had grown a second head. "You actually don't believe she's capable of it?"

"Julian, you've barely spent any time with her! How can you be so sure? How can you not have a single doubt?!"

The absolute, unshakable trust in Julian's eyes was driving her insane. They had been married for five years, and he had never once looked at her with that level of faith. His eyes had always been a stagnant pool of indifference. That was why she had acted out so violently during their marriage—she just wanted a reaction, a shred of emotion, even if it was anger. But she got nothing.

Yet now, whenever she brought up Scarlett, Julian's eyes shifted. There was fire there. Protection. Emotion. It was something she couldn't quite name, but it tore her apart to see it directed at another woman.

Even Yardley hadn't defended Scarlett this fiercely when presented with the fake results. So why was Julian so certain?

Jealousy and hatred surged through her. She clenched her fists so tightly her manicured nails broke the skin of her palms.

"Scarlett's child is Yardley's," Julian stated with quiet authority. "I am going to investigate exactly how you pulled this off."

He looked at her with pure disgust. "When we divorced, I gave you everything you asked for. I even paid child support upfront until that boy turns eighteen, despite knowing he wasn't mine. I did it because I wanted you to step up, get your life together, and actually be a mother to an innocent child."
