He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 517

Having just survived a beating from the young heirs inside, Yardley now found himself being assaulted by their enraged fathers.

Seeing her brother getting pummeled, Clarissa yanked off her jacket and threw it over his head to protect him, screaming at the top of her lungs, "Stop it! Back off! I understand you're angry, but my brother had nothing to do with this! He's a victim too! He didn't organize the party! Get your facts straight!"

Her desperate screams finally made the furious crowd pause.

The man who had landed the punch was Mr. Morgan, Morris’s father. Morris was his only son. He had been spoiled his entire life, given everything he ever wanted. Mr. Morgan knew the boy partied hard, but he had always warned him to never cross the legal line. This was Morris’s first arrest. And the charges weren't just for drug possession—he was being charged with supplying narcotics.

When Mr. Morgan found out, his world collapsed. His immediate reaction was that his son had been set up. He had quickly rallied the other parents and demanded answers from the kids who had been released.

That was how he discovered the party was hosted by Melanie and Sylvia. And it was their guarantees of absolute privacy and Flynn family protection that had encouraged the reckless behavior.

"We used to think the Flynns were a respectable family with an impeccable code of conduct," someone sneered. "Now look at you! Your chairman has a bastard child with his secretary, and your kids throw drug-fueled orgies! Your family is nothing but trash!"

Mr. Morgan pointed a trembling finger at Yardley and Clarissa, unleashing a torrent of abuse.

His words struck a chord, inciting roars of agreement from the crowd. The Flynn family had successfully alienated nearly every prominent family in Bay City.
