He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 812

Unable to hide her excitement, Melanie patted his shoulder. "My foolish brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! The law is on your side. Even Jacqueline Langley won't be able to do a damn thing to stop you!"

"Instead of standing here wallowing in grief, you need to contact a lawyer immediately. Get Dawn's custody officially transferred to you, and then use your status as her legal guardian to audit every single asset under Scarlett's name! That is what really matters right now!"

Melanie stared at her brother, exasperated by his tendency to play the tragic romantic at the worst possible times. She desperately tried to shake some sense into him, to make him see the bigger picture.

However, Yardley simply stared back, his gaze burning with disdain as he gritted out his response.

"Keep dreaming. I will never touch a single dime of the assets Scarlett left for Dawn."

"I will absolutely not use Scarlett's estate to plug the Flynn Group's financial holes! Even if she's gone, I will fiercely protect those assets for Dawn's future!"

"Yardley, do you even hear yourself?" Melanie looked at him in disbelief, convinced he had lost his mind. "Dawn is just a baby, and you are her legal guardian. When it comes down to it, how Scarlett's money is spent is entirely up to you!"

"I would rather die than trade my own daughter for cash!" Yardley's eyes were as cold as ice. "I'm warning all of you right now. From this day forward, if anyone dares to scheme against Dawn or go after Scarlett's estate, don't blame me when I cut you off completely!"

Without sparing them another glance, he turned on his heel and stormed out of Orchard Villa.

He left behind a room full of pale-faced, speechless women.

Melanie glared at his retreating figure, furious at his stubbornness. "Mom, look at this perfect son you raised!"

"We're pouring our hearts out trying to secure his position in the Flynn Group, and he acts like a complete lost cause! He doesn't appreciate a single thing we're trying to do for him!"
