He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 858

The moment Scarlett had materialized, Corinne's legs had turned to jelly. Caught off guard by the shove, she stumbled forward and nearly face-planted onto the floor.

Luckily, Melanie and Sylvia lunged forward, catching her just in time.

Scarlett's voice cut through the air, sharp and lethal.

"Corinne, I heard every word you just said. You want to settle debts with my family? You want to teach my mother a lesson? You want to steal my daughter?"

Scarlett paused, letting her cold gaze drag across the group before locking onto Yardley.

"Well, apologies for the inconvenience, but I survived. I made it back from Country A alive."

"And since you're so eager to settle accounts, the Flynn family and I are going to settle everything right here, right now."

"Yardley, brace yourself."

Scarlett sat flawlessly in the wooden chair, her posture perfect, her hands resting elegantly on the armrests. She radiated a terrifying, overwhelming authority. She looked like a queen returning to reclaim her throne.

Seeing her like this, a pit of absolute dread opened in Yardley's stomach. Her warning to 'brace himself' sent a chill down his spine.

What was she going to do?

He knew his mother and sisters had crossed a line, but his own intentions had been pure. He hadn't wanted this to turn into a public spectacle.

Desperate, Yardley hurried over to her. Leaning down, he whispered, his voice laced with a quiet, pleading edge.

"Scarlett, I am so incredibly thankful you're alive. You have no idea."

"I don't know what you're planning, but please... can we handle this privately, behind closed doors?"
