He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 432

He looked at Melanie, who was standing beside him looking unbearably smug, and for the first time, he felt a profound disgust for his sister. How could she be even stupider than Sylvia? She was an absolute liability.

She had agreed to the terms far too quickly!

This gamble had instantly escalated into an all-out, four-way war between the Flynns, the Stetsons, Scarlett's family, and the Crofts.

And Scarlett's condition was absolutely cutthroat—she was betting against the philanthropic reputation the Flynn family had spent years carefully building.

Now, the arrow was nocked and the bowstring was pulled tight. There was no backing down.

Yardley closed his eyes, his heart hammering against his ribs in sheer panic. He opened his mouth, desperately trying to find a way to stall.

Right at that moment, Sylvia, who had been pushed to the absolute brink of a breakdown, let out a blood-curdling scream.

Like a woman possessed, she threw herself at Yardley in front of the entire ballroom, wrapping her arms around his neck in a death grip.

"Sylvia! Are you out of your mind?! What are you doing in front of all these people!" Yardley's face turned a bruised purple as he used all his strength to shove her off.

But before he could pry her away, Sylvia leaned into his ear. In a voice choked with terror and sobs, she whispered, "Yardley... you can't agree to it! That DNA report... it's fake. I forged it!"

Boom!

The words detonated in Yardley's brain like a grenade.

His pupils dilated in pure shock. Gripping Sylvia's shoulders, he stared at her, his eyes blazing with a tidal wave of disbelief and apocalyptic rage.

"What... what did you just say?"

Staring into Yardley's eyes, Sylvia's guilt consumed her. She couldn't hold his gaze, her entire body shaking like a leaf in the wind as she repeated it. "I'm sorry... I... I was so scared of losing you, so I..."

Yardley's heart flatlined.
