He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 371

Clarissa sighed heavily. "What you're doing right now isn't winning her back. You're just pushing Scarlett and your daughter further away... At this point, you're better off just going through with the divorce. Save yourself the endless agony and self-sabotage."

"I've watched you for the past five years. It's obvious you have real feelings for her. Scarlett is perfect for you. She's your right hand, both in business and in life."

"Haven't you noticed that since she walked out, everything you touch has turned into a total disaster?"

Yardley looked up in shock, his gaze colliding with his sister's. A shiver ran down his spine. Clarissa was always the sharpest person in the family; she saw straight through everyone.

"Of course I have real feelings for her," Yardley replied, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. "Scarlett doesn't even know this, but she was the first real woman in my life. I married her because I truly loved her. I knew she was the one."

"Then look at yourself now. You're slipping right back into Sylvia's orbit... What is going through your head? Do you think that just because she's been reclaimed by the Schmidt family, the two of you aren't considered relatives anymore and you can finally be together out in the open?"

"You need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Who do you actually want? Scarlett, or Sylvia?"

Yardley stiffened. The tips of his ears flushed red as he frantically tried to defend himself. "How could I possibly have feelings for Sylvia? I've always seen her as a sister..."

Clarissa scoffed, her eyes piercing right through his excuses. "If she's just a sister to you, why are you blushing like a guilty schoolboy?"

He opened his mouth to argue, but the words died in his throat.

"Your love life is your private business. As your older sister, I shouldn't interfere," Clarissa continued. "But your personal mess is severely impacting Flynn Group's bottom line. I have to step in."

"Things have gone too far. The chances of you and Scarlett reconciling are slim to none. You might as well pull the plug, finalize the split, and be with Sylvia."

"If Flynn Group and Schmidt Properties join forces, our market power will be unstoppable. Your position as CEO will be bulletproof. Even with how much Dad dotes on Irene Sommers, he wouldn't be able to make a single move against you. Think about it."

She watched him closely, waiting for his reaction.
