He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 867

Sylvia's eyes were red with raging jealousy. She clenched her fists, her gaze practically shooting fire.

Thinking about the pure bliss radiating from Scarlett and Julian when they announced their engagement made her want to scream.

She had dated Julian for years, yet she had never once seen a smile that genuine on his face.

The happiness had practically been overflowing from his eyes.

Sylvia was trembling with anger, her voice shaking as she spoke.

"Yardley, are you really just going to take this?"

Yardley felt as though he were enveloped in a suffocating black fog. He spoke through gritted teeth.

"What else am I supposed to do? It's a done deal."

He tried his hardest to convince himself to let it go. His marriage with Scarlett was over.

She had the right to choose whoever she wanted.

But the moment he imagined Dawn calling another man "Dad" while he was forced to watch from the sidelines... he lost his mind.

His head throbbed violently, his temples pounding.

The relentless blows had drained him entirely. He pulled up a chair and collapsed into it, desperately trying to organize the chaos in his brain.

Seeing him like this, Veronica smirked and patted his shoulder.

"You can give them a taste of their own medicine, Yardley."

He looked up at her. "What do you mean?"

As the only daughter of the wealthiest family in Sutton City, she deserved the grandest spectacle.

"Then don't. I don't have the time or energy to think about remarrying right now. Excuse me."

She thought she had it in the bag, but Yardley was currently at his absolute breaking point.

He shut down her fantasy with a single sentence, stood up with a dark expression, and stormed off.

Veronica stood frozen, feeling as though a bucket of ice water had been dumped over her head.

To make matters worse, Sylvia let out an incredibly unsupportive laugh.

"Wow, Veronica. Talk about bad timing."

"His entire life is falling apart, his family is in shambles, and you expect him to get down on one knee right now? Delusional much?"
