He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 742

He also wanted to see exactly who this Mr. Bishop was.

"Alright, that's enough. You don't need to hype him up," Yardley interrupted, cutting off Vincent’s endless flattery. "I'll take the standard room for now."

Knowing the truth, he had no choice but to back down. However, a new wave of suspicion began to gnaw at him.

As far as he knew, successful businessmen from their homeland who thrived in Country A to this extent were incredibly rare. Up until now, the only one he had ever heard of was the elusive "Bill."

The moment that name crossed his mind, a jolt of shock hit him.

If what his father had told him was true, Bill was highly likely to be Scarlett's long-lost biological brother.

A cold sweat broke out across Yardley’s skin as the realization set in. If that were the case, what did it mean for AM Capital to suddenly invest in the Flynn Group, taking up thirty percent of the shares?

He wasn’t stupid enough to believe that his former brother-in-law would generously extend a helping hand after his bitter divorce from Scarlett. There was only one logical explanation: the investment was a Trojan horse. He was slowly devouring the Flynn Group to get revenge for his sister.

The thought sent a shiver down Yardley's spine. His face drained of color, his lips trembling slightly.

Hanging up the phone, he stared in horror at Scarlett, who was standing quietly nearby. There was a rushing sound in his ears.

But now, the paperwork was finalized. They were legally severed. It no longer mattered if Yardley knew who her brother was.

She turned to leave, but his sharp, terrified gaze locked onto her again. He stood a few feet away, a storm raging in his eyes.

For the first time, Scarlett saw genuine fear in her ex-husband's face.

His voice was barely a raspy whisper. "So... is Mr. Bishop actually Bill? Is he... your brother?"
