He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 443

Scarlett froze. She never expected him to uncover the existence of 'Bill'—her brother.

For a split second, her heart skipped a beat.

The fact that her brother was Bill was a secret known only to her, her mother, and Julian in all of Bay City.

Until they were officially reunited and he returned to the country, she had no intention of making it public.

Though he never spoke of his hardships abroad, both Scarlett and Jacqueline knew the truth.

For him to build such a massive, formidable empire overseas, he must have walked through fire and fought countless brutal battles.

While working for her, Stellan had often flown to Country A on emergency missions.

Though Stellan kept his mouth shut, she understood that to reach his current heights, her brother had faced immense danger.

In the shadows surrounding him, powerful enemies were undoubtedly lying in wait.

She and her mother might not be able to help him much right now, but they shared one unspoken vow:

They would never carelessly expose his identity, become a burden to him, or allow themselves to be used as leverage against him.

Her brother being Bill was their family's highest classified secret. Until he was completely safe, she would guard that secret with her life.

Her expression quickly returned to an icy calm, her voice perfectly detached.

"Who is Bill? I have no idea what nonsense you're spouting."

He took a step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, searching for any crack in her armor.

"The people capable of bankrupting the Flynn Group can be counted on one hand."

"Tell me, Scarlett, where is this confidence coming from?"

Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, she realized he had picked up on a thread of the truth. He was testing her, and she refused to give him an inch.
