He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 869

After leaving the memorial, Scarlett, Julian, and the rest of the group returned to the Magnolia Villa.

Seeing Corinne and her daughters get exactly what they deserved and carted off by the police put Jacqueline in an incredibly festive mood, so she decided to throw a massive celebration.

She specifically hired three chefs from a Michelin-starred private kitchen and ordered premium ingredients to host Julian's parents, Talia, Chatwin, and Gordon.

The entire villa was brightly lit and buzzing with joy, feeling exactly like a major family holiday.

Scarlett and Julian were surrounded on the sofa, vividly recounting everything that had happened in Country A.

Just as Scarlett was debating whether to reveal that the mysterious mastermind was Talia's cousin, Heath Sheridan, Talia suddenly received a call from him.

Since Talia was sitting right next to Scarlett, the volume was loud enough for Scarlett to hear Heath's voice clearly.

"Talia, where are you? Come to the office right now. It's urgent."

Talia looked confused.

"What's so urgent? I took the day off. Can it wait until tomorrow?"

"No. Come back right now. It's important."

Talia was even more confused. "What is it? Tell me over the phone first, and then I'll decide if I need to come back. What I'm doing right now is also extremely important."

Talia held Scarlett's hand tightly, giving her a meaningful look.

Her best friend, who she thought had died, had just come back to life. For Talia, absolutely nothing was more important than celebrating this reunion.

Not to mention, the sudden news of Scarlett and Julian getting married was the shock of the century. She needed all the details.

As for work... she was never the career-driven type anyway. Unless the building was on fire, she'd rather push it to the back burner.

She had always operated this way, banking on the fact that Heath was her cousin, which meant she did whatever she wanted.

Scarlett took a deep breath, her eyes turning intensely serious.

If the nightmare in Country A hadn't happened, she wouldn't have loved Heath, but she certainly wouldn't have interfered with his relationship with Talia.

But after everything, and remembering how Talia had almost been lured into a deadly trap before, the pieces suddenly clicked together in Scarlett's mind.

"Sit down. I have something very important to tell you."

Scarlett had a sinking feeling that Heath's frantic demand had a sinister motive behind it.

Seeing Scarlett's grave expression, Talia was bewildered, but obediently sat back down.

"What is it? Scarlett, you look so serious."

"Promise me that no matter how terrifying this sounds, you will stay calm and you won't do anything reckless."
