He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 503

Dealing with a spineless coward like Artie didn't take much effort. A little physical intimidation and a few brutal threats were all it took for him to spill everything.

Exactly as Scarlett had suspected, Artie had been used once again. He confessed that after Helen broke up with him recently, he had harbored a bitter grudge. So, when someone approached him and paid him to bribe the staff at La Belle Nuit, he agreed immediately, thrilled at the chance to exact his petty revenge on his ex.

Having worked there for years, he knew the club's layout like the back of his hand. He pretended to visit his old coworkers, slipped into the building, and planted the package of drugs right in Helen's office.

It was his stash the police had found. The evidence made it painstakingly clear: this was a meticulously crafted setup designed to utterly destroy the club and ensure Jacqueline spent the rest of her life behind bars.

Fortunately, whoever orchestrated this had no idea Artie was currently in their custody.

Staring at the pathetic man cowering on the floor, absolutely terrified by Julian's ruthless beating, Scarlett felt her rage boil over. Her mother had always been fiercely generous to her employees, which was exactly why La Belle Nuit had thrived in Bay City for so long. Now, this one piece of trash had jeopardized everything.

Unable to hold back, Scarlett delivered a vicious kick to Artie's ribs. "You ungrateful bastard! When you helped them commit arson last time, my mother let you go out of respect for your years together! I can't believe you pulled the exact same stunt, trying to get her and the entire club killed!"
