He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 808

Scarlett shook her head without a second of hesitation, a self-deprecating sneer curving her lips.

"I know him. When push comes to shove, money and power will always win. He'd sell out anyone for the right price."

"He loves to broadcast how deeply he cares about me, how Dawn means the world to him, right? Fine. I’ll sit back and watch. Let’s see if his actions match his pretty words, or if he'll rip his own mask off."

"If he actually proves to have a shred of humanity left, then when we finally crush the Flynn Group, I’ll show mercy and leave him a way out."

"But if it’s all fake, if he proves that his greed outweighs his own child... then I won't hold back. I'll make sure he and his entire pathetic family experience exactly what it means to lose everything."

She turned to Zachary, her voice softening. "What do you think?"

Zachary was quiet for a long moment. When he looked at her, his eyes were filled with fierce, protective love, but also a crystal-clear understanding of who she was.

A proud smile touched his lips. He reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair. "Whatever you want to do, I've got your back."

He turned to look out the window, his expression growing complex. "If I really wanted to, I could have utterly destroyed the Flynn Group's stock back then. I could have buried him so deep he'd never see daylight again."

"But I knew you were holding back. You play the ruthless villain, Scarlett, but you have a good heart. You never truly wanted to completely destroy him. He’s just his own worst enemy—constantly crossing your boundaries, digging his own grave until he ended up where he is today."

Scarlett was taken aback. Despite the years they had spent apart, her brother could read her soul like an open book.

She pressed her lips together, a flash of absolute resolve in her eyes. "This is his last chance."
