He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 531

Veronica Thorne's original goal for this call was to flaunt her victory and brutally trigger Scarlett Langley. Veronica was a vindictive woman; the humiliation Julian Croft had dealt her in the hospital room—which resulted in her father grounding her for a week—still burned in her mind.

She wanted to completely humiliate and disgust Scarlett. But she hadn't expected Scarlett to remain completely unfazed, even laughing out loud and threatening to call Veronica's father about the incident.

Panic flared in Veronica's chest, though she forced herself to sound calm. "My father's private number isn't public knowledge. Plus... you don't have any proof. Do you really think he'll believe your fabricated lies?"

Scarlett's voice was languid, dripping with careless amusement. "True, I don't have your dad's private number. But I'm pretty sure Julian does."

"And besides, who said I don't have proof?"

"You seem to have forgotten that Orchard Villa was my marital home with Yardley Flynn. I lived there for six whole years."

"You're quite bold, aren't you? If you wanted a cheap thrill, couldn't you have just booked a hotel? Why sneak into someone else's house and crawl into their marital bed?"

"Looking for excitement, Ms. Thorne? Well, I think the video I have will give you all the excitement you can handle."

"Hold on a second, I'll ask Julian for your dad's number right now and send him the footage. Let's see what he has to say about it."

Scarlett delivered every word with agonizing slowness.

On the other end of the line, Veronica froze. Her previously triumphant smirk vanished, turning her face to stone.

It took her a full seven or eight seconds to process what Scarlett was actually saying. When she finally spoke, her voice cracked.

"Scarlett, you... you secretly installed hidden cameras in your own house?"

"You're a psycho! How could you do that? I... I don't believe you. You're just trying to scare me!"

Veronica's face drained of color as she began to tremble.

Scarlett's lips curled into a smirk.

"Whether I have it or not, you'll just have to wait and see."
