He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 716

"No! Impossible!"

"I will never apologize to you in front of all these people! I'd rather die!"

Scarlett didn't bother responding. She simply stood there, one hand casually tucked into her pocket, watching Yardley in silence. She was waiting to see his reaction.

Dark, chaotic emotions swirled in Yardley's deep eyes.

He remained frozen for what felt like an eternity before finally forcing the words out of his dry throat.

"Fine. Whatever you want."

"As long as you come inside, save the gala, and stop AM from pulling the funds... whatever you want."

His posture, usually so rigid and imposing, slumped forward in defeat.

Any shreds of confidence he had managed to rebuild over the past few weeks vanished instantly under her gaze.

It was as if he was only now realizing the cold, hard truth: no matter how hard he fought, she would always be ten steps ahead of him.

The quiet, submissive woman who used to shadow his every move was dead and gone.

This new Scarlett possessed a terrifying amount of power. Every time he felt even a sliver of victory, she effortlessly stripped away his dignity and crushed him back into the dirt.

He still had no idea how she had secured such a high-ranking position at a foreign investment firm.

Even standing right in front of him, she felt obscured by layers of mystery, completely untouchable.

Her rise to power had been blindingly fast, so fast it felt surreal.

But now wasn't the time to unravel the mystery.

Almost all the VIPs were seated inside. There was no turning back.

No matter how thoroughly his spirit was broken, he had to power through and finish the event.
