He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 676

He leaned back against the leather seat, his eyes closed, his emotions still a chaotic mess.

Soon. The day he would wipe away this humiliation was coming soon.

The idea that Julian actually thought he could use a ten-billion-dollar fund to disrupt the real estate market and challenge the Flynn Group—a titan with thirty years of industry dominance—was an absolute joke.

He knew Julian.

Yes, the man was brilliant, but strictly within the confines of architectural design. In the corporate arena, Yardley was absolutely certain Julian was entirely out of his depth.

Yardley had been in the business trenches for years, navigating cutthroat boardrooms and executing high-stakes strategies on the front lines.

If Julian really had the nerve to recklessly invade this market... Yardley would personally teach him exactly what the word "consequences" meant.

Taking a deep breath, Yardley felt his features slowly settle into a cold, focused calm.

He couldn't let one brief visitation throw him off balance and ruin his mental clarity.

It didn't matter.

It was a long game. He had plenty of time and more than enough patience to slowly, methodically win Scarlett's heart back from Julian.

In the driver's seat, Nathan was trying very hard to be invisible, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Only when he sensed his boss's mood stabilizing did Nathan cautiously speak up.

"Mr. Flynn, there's a negative news trend blowing up online..."

Yardley's heart skipped a beat. It was practically a reflex now. "What negative news? Is it about the Flynn family again?"

"Well, yes and no." Nathan wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead and handed his phone over to Yardley. It was playing a video with a bizarre, obnoxious cartoon soundtrack. "Ms. Stetson has gone viral. You should take a look."

The relentless, grating sound of a squawking rubber chicken made Yardley instantly scowl.

Confused, he took the phone. A second later, his eyes widened in absolute disbelief.

It was a five-minute compilation video of Sylvia being subjected to a relentless series of chaotic pranks. She was constantly screaming in every single frame, all set to the absurdly catchy chicken music. It was designed to look utterly ridiculous and hilarious to viewers.
