He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 805

Veronica shrieked, terrified by Yardley's sudden, violent entrance. She instinctively tried to shrink away, but his grip was like an iron vise, locking her wrist in place.

"Yardley, what are you doing?!" Melanie panicked, rushing forward to pry his fingers off and pull Veronica behind her.

She knew Yardley had been tearing the city apart looking for Scarlett.

He had been the first to realize she hadn't returned to the hotel and hadn't boarded a flight back home. He had called her phone obsessively, only to find it turned off. Julian's phone was dead, too.

For them to vanish in a foreign country was highly suspicious. Driven by a sickening sense of dread, he had exhausted every connection he had, desperately trying to track them down.

But he had found nothing. He had been on the verge of total despair.

He had only come to the suite to check on Sylvia, only to accidentally overhear their monstrous confession.

When the words 'narco-town' left Veronica's lips, Yardley felt his entire world shatter.

If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he never would have imagined that Scarlett and Julian had been lured into such a hellhole. And the architects of this nightmare were the very women who had been dining with him all week.

"What am I doing? Melanie, don't you think you've crossed a line?!" Yardley roared, stepping into her space and forcing her back.

He was breathing heavily, his eyes blazing with bloodshot rage. "Do you have any idea how insane I've been going these past few days? I've been looking everywhere, asking everyone! And you—you planned this whole sick thing and smiled in my face while you hid it!"

Seeing him lose control over Scarlett ignited Melanie's own explosive temper.

"Enough! Shut your mouth!" Melanie suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
