He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 63

The news of Scarlett's resignation sprouted wings and spread wildly across the industry.

As Yardley sped toward the office, his phone buzzed continuously. Peers, partners, and competitors were calling to test the waters.

He kept it on silent, letting the screen light up and dim repeatedly, while cold sweat soaked the back of his shirt.

It was only now that he belatedly realized Scarlett wasn't just his wife in name; she was the mastermind behind the Flynn Group's design department and the very soul of the Zenith Tower project.

Zenith Tower was the strategic centerpiece for the Flynn Group's next five years, poised to become the city's new landmark.

Now, with the lead architect resigning, the core team walking out, the blueprints unsealed, and construction about to begin... the entire project was teetering on the edge of paralysis overnight.

Yardley stared at the flashing screen. There were demands for accountability from the board of directors, doubts from partners, and naked probing from rivals.

He pressed his lips into a bitter line and ignored them all.

Pulling into his reserved parking spot, he found Nathan waiting anxiously. The assistant immediately opened the car door.

"Boss, rumors of the design team's mass exodus are everywhere. Mr. Lynch from Apex Capital just called, asking if we need an emergency capital injection to rebuild the team... He's clearly trying to kick us while we're down."

Yardley scoffed, a predatory gleam in his eyes.

"Those starving wolves are just waiting for the Flynn Group to fall into chaos so they can buy us out."

Nathan nodded, lowering his voice cautiously.

"Mr. Flynn, you have to pacify your wife. If she really leaves at a critical moment like this, morale will completely collapse."

Yardley's mind was a mess. He shot Nathan a chilling look.

"Do you think she's serious, or is she just throwing a tantrum?"

He was genuinely lost.

He couldn't understand the woman who had been by his side for the last five years anymore.

The once gentle, independent, and frugal woman who always put him first had become cold and unfamiliar.

She was decisive and absolute, leaving no room for negotiation in either their marriage or their careers.

He had only taken care of his cousin Sylvia a little more than usual. He hadn't committed any ultimate betrayal. Was all this really necessary?

Could Talia have been telling the truth? Did Scarlett really find a new backer?
