He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 591

Sylvia’s heart seized in her chest. She had just slipped up in a moment of panic, and she knew it.

Scrambling to her feet, she forced a mask of indifference. "I... I just heard rumors. If you don't believe me, whatever. You're exhausted and overthinking things. I’m leaving. Get some rest."

Clutching her designer bag, Sylvia practically bolted for the door.

But the moment she yanked it open, she froze. Julian and Scarlett were standing right there in the hallway, blocking her path.

Julian’s eyes were like ice. "We heard everything you just said to Gordon."

He stepped forward, his presence suffocating. "Knowing the intimate details of this crash... does that mean you orchestrated the hit?"

All the color drained from Sylvia’s face. She shook her head frantically. "Julian, don't you dare slander me! Why would I arrange a car crash? I have no bad blood with Gordon. It's impossible! If anything, you two should be the ones feeling guilty!"

Gathering her false bravado, she sneered at the pair of them. "It’s truly pathetic. To think you fell for a toxic, unappealing bitch like Scarlett! I’m warning you, Julian, stay away from her. She’s cursed. Anyone who gets close to her ends up paying the price. Just wait and see!"

"You can deny everything," Julian warned, his tone laced with absolute disgust. "But doesn't your conscience bleed? Gordon grew up treating you like a little sister, and you ordered a hit on him! He was lucky to survive. If he had died, would you have lost a single second of sleep?"

"And what about the innocent people? A seven-car pile-up, Sylvia. Families were hurt. Children were injured. All because of your petty jealousy. You hate me? You hate Scarlett? Fine. Come after us. But how could you drag innocent lives into your mess? You were educated. You had a future. When did you sink so low as to partner with scum like Kane Stetson?"

Every word struck her like a physical blow. She was utterly speechless, backed against the wall with nowhere to run.

Her whole body trembled uncontrollably. Finally, the dam broke. Tears streamed down her face as she screamed, "Why did I end up like this?! Who do you think forced me into this corner?! If you hadn't demanded a divorce, if you hadn't been so cruel to my son, if you hadn't teamed up with her to destroy me, would I be standing here right now?!"
