He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 37

A deathly silence suffocated the private room.

Harbour stood to the side, his mouth slightly ajar, utterly stunned by the barrage of truths he had never known.

Yardley's face was a portrait of impending violence, shrouded in absolute darkness.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean, Gordon?"

Gordon glared back at him, his eyes dark and merciless.

"If you can't give Scarlett happiness, let her go. There are plenty of men in this world who would die to treat her right."

Harbour swallowed hard.

Yardley's jaw clenched.

Without waiting for a response, Gordon withdrew his piercing stare, turned on his heel, and stormed out, radiating pure fury.

The heavy door slammed shut behind him.

Harbour hesitantly glanced at Yardley. He was internally panicking but desperately tried to keep the situation from imploding.

If he had known it was going to turn into this bloodbath, he would never have organized this get-together in a million years.

Now look where they were. One friend had lost his mind defending Scarlett and stormed off, while the remaining one was clenching his fists so hard his knuckles were white, his rage meters blowing completely off the charts.

Harbour silently prayed for a wormhole to open up and swallow him whole.

But when Yardley's murderous gaze locked onto him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to defuse the bomb.

"Yardley, don't take Gordon seriously. He's had way too much to drink. He's just running his mouth. Your marriage is none of his business anyway."

Harbour had only intended to shift the focus.

But hearing that, Yardley's face grew even more twisted.

Scarlett nodded, pleased. "Understood. Thank you, Stellan."

Azure Estates was the crown jewel of Bay City real estate, a playground for the absolute elite, highly coveted by the nation's wealthiest billionaires.

And the villa her family had gifted her was the absolute masterpiece of the entire complex.

Walking into her new home, Scarlett realized that the so-called luxury of Orchard Villa was a complete joke compared to this.

Standing on the grand terrace, she could look down over the entire Bay City. The panoramic view was simply unparalleled.

"Miss, I've assigned four staff members to the household for now. Two will handle your meals and the little princess's care, and two will handle the housekeeping. Aside from your daily needs, I am available at all hours for whatever you require."

Scarlett remembered the divorce agreement and resignation letter she had prepped in her bag. She pulled them out and handed them over.

"Then please do me a favor. Seal these two documents and have them delivered directly to the CEO's office at the Flynn Group."

Stellan took the papers with perfect professionalism, not even glancing at the contents.
