He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 870

Talia's heart leaped into her throat. "Okay. I'm listening."

Surrounded by completely trusted friends in the Magnolia Villa, Scarlett didn't hold anything back. She detailed exactly what had happened in the narco-town in Country A.

At first, Talia listened intently, but as the story progressed, her jaw dropped wider and wider. When Scarlett finally described the confrontation with Heath at the estuary, Talia literally jumped off the sofa.

She was in utter disbelief. "Scarlett, is... is all of this true?"

Scarlett raised three fingers. "I swear to God, it's the truth. Heath admitted it himself. He works for Kane."

Julian chimed in, "I can back that up."

Talia stood frozen for several seconds before finally closing her mouth. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed back into the cushions.

"This is insane. How could he... how could he be working for Kane?"

"I always thought he built his wealth on his own. I can't believe this... I'm just so shocked!"

Chatwin spoke up smoothly from the side:

"Well, I'm not entirely surprised. You told me he spent a few years abroad, came back rich, and started a clothing company. I never bought that overnight success story. Nobody builds an empire out of thin air that fast unless they're incredibly brilliant and lucky. I've met your cousin. He's got street smarts, but he doesn't have the stomach for legitimate big business. Based on what Scarlett just said... my instincts were right."

Talia sank into the sofa, struggling to process it all.

Scarlett knew Talia and Heath were close. Talia genuinely loved him like a brother.
