He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 440

She rubbed her throbbing temples, refusing to waste another second on a pointless argument.

"Yardley, I came here today to sign the divorce papers, not to fight with you."

"Give me a straight answer. Are you going to cooperate or not?"

Scarlett's patience was completely gone. "If you're going to play games, I'll see you in court!"

Seeing that he was completely unapologetic, Scarlett didn't want to waste her breath. She turned to leave.

Seeing her walk away, Yardley quickly closed the distance and grabbed her wrist.

"Wait. I'll sign the papers, but I have a condition. We have to sign a supplemental agreement first."

Truthfully, the moment he agreed to meet her at City Hall, he had already devised a new plan.

He knew stalling emotionally was pointless now.

She had already filed once. Legally speaking, a second filing would almost guarantee a judge would grant the divorce. He couldn't drag it out forever.

But deep down, he absolutely refused to let her go.

However, he wasn't going to let his emotions control him and let Scarlett dictate the terms anymore.

After the utter chaos of the past few days, his mind had finally returned to its usual, calculating state.

He was no longer trying to appeal to her heart. He was playing strategy.

If the romantic gesture with the flowers didn't work, he would pivot to business.

Scarlett had Chatwin Wyatt advising her, but Yardley had an entire corporate legal team at his disposal... If Scarlett wanted to negotiate terms and demand compensation, he could play that game too.

He needed to regain control of the situation immediately.

Hearing the words "supplemental agreement," Scarlett's head snapped up, her brow furrowing deeply.

Staring into Yardley's eyes, a chill ran down her spine.

"What the hell are you planning now?"
