He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 533

When the door opened, Yardley was standing there, fully dressed in his impeccable tailored suit, looking as handsome and commanding as ever.

He had completely sobered up, regaining his usual composed, imposing aura. He looked down at Veronica and said evenly:

"Veronica, let's head down for breakfast. The staff has everything ready. Once we eat, we'll go straight to my office to finalize the partnership details. I've already had my assistant notify the executive board to wait for us."

Yardley desperately needed this partnership with Thorne Industries to secure his authority and reputation within the Flynn Group.

First thing in the morning, he had contacted Nathan to prep the contracts and assemble the board in the conference room.

Not only that, he had even called his father to share the good news.

Hearing that the deal was finally moving forward, Franklin Flynn's usually harsh tone had softened considerably.

Veronica glared up at him, her eyes flashing with anger:

"Let's postpone the partnership talk. I'm not in the mood today. I'm not going."

She pointed a shaking finger at the room, her brows knitted in deep displeasure:

"And you'd better have someone sweep this house for hidden cameras."

"Scarlett just called and threatened me. She demanded I cancel Thorne Industries' partnership with you and give the project to her studio instead. She said she has footage of us from last night."

"Yardley, you better give me a proper explanation for this! Otherwise, the deal is completely off!"

Faced with this absolute disaster, the romanticized image Veronica had of Yardley shattered.

She was a nervous wreck, regretting last night more by the second. If her father found out, her life as she knew it would be over.

But the idea of capitulating to Scarlett's tiny studio—even if they had the money—made her stomach turn. She couldn't stand the thought of letting Scarlett snatch such a massive victory. Yet right now, she felt completely backed into a corner.
