He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 530

She absolutely could not afford to let Yardley keep dragging her down. The only way to truly start her life over was to extract herself from this nightmarish marriage, cleanly and definitively.

Yardley's behavior made it crystal clear: he had no intention of letting her go, and he was willing to stoop to the most despicable, criminal depths to keep her trapped.

The mere thought of it made her stomach turn.

He wanted to drag out the divorce? Fine. She was going to make sure he paid a devastating price.

Scarlett opened the camera feed for the living room and watched the cached footage of Veronica's entire visit. Hearing Veronica confidently vow to use Thorne Industries' resources to bail Yardley out of his current crisis, Scarlett's lips curved into a sharp smile.

If Veronica was so desperate to play the savior, Scarlett would just have to pull the rug out from under them both.

Her mind raced, quickly piecing together a counter-strategy.

She stayed awake almost the entire night. Just as the sky began to lighten outside her window and she finally closed her eyes to catch a few minutes of sleep, her phone rang.

It was an unknown number.

Scarlett lazily answered. "Hello?"

A shrill, smug female voice echoed through the speaker. "This is Veronica Thorne. I just thought you should know... Yardley and I slept together last night."
