He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 609

It was from Kane Stetson.

"The little fish" was their code name for Talia Gray.

She and Kane had been communicating frequently lately. Ever since Kane had a son, his attitude toward her had completely shifted. He was now entirely obedient, doing whatever she asked.

Their last scheme involving Gordon Wyatt hadn't been executed cleanly and had fallen apart almost instantly.

After regrouping, Sylvia and Kane had changed their strategy.

They had one of Kane's subordinates pose as a wealthy, handsome bachelor online, deliberately targeting Talia and sweeping her into a whirlwind cyber romance.

Talia was incredibly naive and had zero experience with dating. Manipulated by a script carefully designed to exploit her vulnerabilities, she had fallen for the trap completely.

Sylvia smirked triumphantly.

Once Talia was fully hooked, the fake "bachelor" would convince her to fly to Myanor alone.

The moment she landed, she would face total devastation... Just picturing it sent a thrill of malicious satisfaction down Sylvia's spine.

And knowing Scarlett, there was no way she would abandon her lifelong best friend.

If Scarlett flew to Myanor, Julian would inevitably follow her... Once they all stepped into Kane's territory, Kane could trap them like rats in a barrel and eliminate them all at once.

After failing so many times, Sylvia had finally learned a valuable lesson: if you want to catch a big fish, you have to play the long game. Rushing only led to mistakes.

She was no longer as impulsive as before. She had learned how to keep a secret.

She hadn't breathed a word of her current operation with Kane to anyone—not Melanie, and certainly not Corinne.

She silently swore to herself that this time, she would wipe away her past humiliations and force everyone to look at her with newfound respect.

Ever since the tragic death of his beloved son in a car accident, Veronica was Quentin's only remaining child. He pampered her endlessly, giving in to her every whim.

Seeing that she was on the verge of throwing a tantrum, he sighed, asked his executives for a brief recess, and stepped out into the hallway.

He put on a stern face. "Veronica, what is so urgent that it couldn't wait a few minutes?"

"Because it can't!" Veronica linked her arm through his, pouting coquettishly. "Dad, Yardley finally finalized his divorce! He's officially single!"

"Hurry! Call him right now and tell him Thorne Industries is ready to partner with him! Hurry!" Veronica urged impatiently.

Hearing this, the crease between Quentin's brows smoothed out. "Are you absolutely certain he's divorced?"

Veronica nodded furiously. "Yes! I am a hundred percent certain! Dad, you can finally relax!"

"And I did some digging. Flynn Group is about to secure a massive investment. If the deal goes through, they'll have an extra five billion to pour into development. Right now, they're the ones begging us for a partnership. But the second that money hits their accounts, they'll have their pick of projects, and we'll lose all our leverage!"
