He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 602

The house was about to change hands. Soon, everything here would have absolutely nothing to do with him.

That bitter realization—that he was transitioning from the master of the house to a mere guest—was a sorrow only someone going through a divorce could truly understand.

A massive, unspeakable wave of melancholy filled Yardley's heart. However, just as he sat on the sofa to wallow in his grief, the deafening roar of heavy machinery erupted from outside.

Startled, Yardley stood up to investigate, only to watch as the heavy metal scoop of an excavator smashed violently through the front gates.

The two magnificent iron doors that Yardley had personally picked out were forcefully ripped from their hinges.

Amidst the billowing clouds of dust, his mother, Corinne Quinn, stormed onto the property, flanked by his three sisters and Sylvia Stetson.

Yardley was stunned. His face immediately darkened in anger. "Mom, what... what do you think you're doing?"

"What am I doing?!" Corinne's face was livid. She marched right up to Yardley and punched him hard in the chest. "You sure are generous! Most people fight tooth and nail over every penny in a divorce, but you? You just handed Scarlett everything! You... you're going to be the death of me!"

Early that morning, when Corinne heard that her son was finally divorcing Scarlett, she had been over the moon.

But half an hour ago, she had interrogated the corporate finance department and discovered the itemized accounts. Not only had Yardley doubled the divorce settlement, but he had also fully reimbursed Scarlett in cash for every single cent she had spent during their marriage.

Even more outrageously, without breathing a word of it to Corinne, Yardley had wired Scarlett an astronomical lump sum, which included all of Dawn's child support paid in advance until she turned eighteen.

Corinne was trembling with sheer rage, her chest tightening painfully. She had immediately rallied her daughters and descended upon Orchard Villa.

Even though she knew Yardley had transferred the house to Scarlett to pacify her, the sheer financial loss felt unbearable. She was currently teetering on the edge of a total meltdown.
