He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 439

When Scarlett received the text, she was in the middle of reviewing designs with Julian.

Seeing that Yardley had finally stopped stalling and agreed to finalize the paperwork at City Hall, Scarlett let out a long sigh of relief.

"He finally texted back. He wants to meet at City Hall right now."

Julian's eyes flickered slightly. "That's great. Congratulations."

Hearing that word—*congratulations*—a bittersweet ache washed over Scarlett. It was the profound relief of finally seeing the light at the end of a very long, very dark tunnel.

Soon, the nightmare of her past would be completely over.

She was absolutely sick of the chaotic, toxic mess her life had become. She couldn't wait to cut all ties with the Flynns and focus entirely on her career and raising Dawn in peace.

Her blueprints for the "Pillar of Eternity" competition were nearly complete. Julian had offered a few final critiques, and after some minor tweaks, they would be ready to submit.

Based on his industry experience, Julian was confident her design had a massive chance of winning.

If she won, they could immediately connect with developers to break ground. If everything went smoothly, Scarlett's work would debut on an international stage, creating an industrial landmark in Country A with her own two hands.

The thought made her blood hum with excitement.

She quickly drove home, grabbed her ID and the divorce papers in record time, and sped straight toward City Hall.

To finally end this disaster of a marriage and live a quiet life with her mother and daughter—she had waited far too long for this day.

Her chest felt tight with anticipation, her hands instinctively tightening and loosening on the steering wheel.

Half an hour later, she pulled into the parking lot.

She immediately called Yardley.

He picked up right away. "Are you here? I'm already in the lobby."

Scarlett pressed her lips together, the massive weight finally lifting off her shoulders. "Yeah, I'm walking up now."

It seemed Yardley had finally accepted reality and wasn't going to make this difficult.

Clutching her document folder, Scarlett practically jogged toward the entrance.

However, the moment she stepped onto the plaza, she froze in her tracks.
