He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 837

But that spark was quickly followed by suspicion.

His expression darkened.

"Sylvia, tell me the truth. Where exactly did you meet a major client like this?"

He was naturally skeptical.

From what he knew of her social circle, she mostly hung around spoiled heiresses like Veronica. When those women got together, they talked about designer bags, shoes, and jewelry. They didn't discuss high-level corporate investments.

Sylvia's eyes darted away for a split second.

"You don't need to worry about that. What matters is that I can bring you the investment."

"Aren't you desperate for cash right now? You've got so many projects lined up; with the right funding, you could revive all of them. And this guy has more money than he knows what to do with. He just needs a place to put it."

Yardley's suspicion only deepened.

"Then you have to tell me who he is. After what happened with AM, I'm not jumping into any deep partnerships blindly. Last time in Country A..."

The memory of his trip to Country A brought a sickening wave of humiliation crashing over him.

He had planned to meet with Mr. Bishop from AM to finalize their partnership details and secure more funding.

Instead, the man had subjected him to the most degrading night of his life.

First, they left him standing in a completely empty, stark white room for three agonizing hours until his heels felt like they were bleeding.

Then, they served him a meal that looked exquisite but tasted like a nightmare—a vile concoction of sour, spicy, bitter, salty, and rotten flavors that he was forced to finish.

He thought that would be the end of it, a bizarre test before meeting the elusive Mr. Bishop. But those were just the appetizers.

Later, he was forced to strip naked and undergo a humiliating, full-body inspection. To top it off, they threw him into freezing water and left him there for another three hours.
