He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 641

Talia Gray's heart fluttered with excitement as the plane finally touched down.

The entire flight, she had been wrapped up in the dizzying joy of her online romance. It was hard to believe someone out there understood her so perfectly, a man whose soul seemed so completely aligned with hers.

For the first time in her life, she realized what it truly meant to fall head over heels. In the past, she’d only fawned over handsome faces, appreciating nothing more than superficial looks. But now, she understood that the intoxicating thrill of a deep, soulful connection far surpassed the appeal of a pretty face.

Talia's heart was in full bloom. Eagerly anticipating their meeting, she switched on her phone the second the wheels hit the tarmac.

She was just about to text her "boyfriend," Virgil Reed, when a call from Scarlett Langley suddenly lit up her screen, followed by a frantic flood of missed call notifications and unread messages.

Talia frowned, a flicker of confusion crossing her mind.

What was going on? Why would Scarlett call her so many times out of the blue?

Did she already miss her that much just because she had flown to Tyrellia Country?

Smiling softly, Talia answered the call, her voice bright and melodic. "Hey, bestie. Miss me already?"

"I'm only in Tyrellia for two days. Don't miss me too much—I promise the second I get back..."

Before she could finish her playful teasing, Scarlett's panicked voice cut her off.

"Talia, listen to me. You're being scammed!"

"It's a romance scam! Someone stole a wealthy heir's identity to lure you to Tyrellia! Julian and I just found out the real Virgil Reed lives in Yorland Country. He's never even set foot in Tyrellia!"

"I need you to stay calm and be rational. Julian has already contacted the airport. He has a friend named Neil waiting for you at the VIP exit. The code phrase is, 'First love is like candy,' and he'll reply, 'Sweet enough to break your heart.'"

"Forget about your luggage. Go straight to the VIP exit as fast as you can. Once you confirm the code with Neil, leave with him immediately and book the first flight back home. The sooner, the better!"

"And Talia, absolutely do not talk to anyone else who approaches you—not even airport security! Do you hear me?"

Scarlett was practically vibrating with fear, wishing she could teleport and pull Talia out herself. Her voice was hoarse from screaming.

Talia felt a cold chill run down her spine. The sheer terror in Scarlett's voice snapped her back to reality. She knew Scarlett would never lie to her about something this serious, so she replied quickly.

"I understand, Scarlett. I'll do exactly what you said."
