He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 882

"You cut off my cash flow, dug into my past, and tried to ruin my life, and you have the nerve to ask what the meaning of this is?"

He lunged forward, grabbing a fistful of Scarlett’s hair with ruthless force. "Did you tip off the cops, you bitch?" Kane growled, his nostrils flaring with unhinged rage. "I seriously underestimated you!"

Pain flared across Scarlett’s scalp, and she opened her mouth to shoot back a retort.

But before she could speak, a long, powerful leg swung out of nowhere, planting a brutal kick squarely into Kane's ribs. Kane cursed, stumbling backward and releasing his grip.

Instantly, Scarlett was pulled into a strong, familiar embrace. Julian's icy voice echoed through the space.

"Instead of putting up a pointless fight, Kane, you'd be better off pleading guilty right now."

"If you know someone’s been investigating you, then you know it's already over. There's no way out."

Kane narrowed his eyes at Julian, a vile, mocking smirk creeping onto his lips.

"Well, well. Look who it is. If it isn't the patron saint of cuckolds."

"Tell me, how does it feel knowing another man was sleeping with your wife and making you raise his bastard?"

"Tsk, tsk. If I had to live with that kind of humiliation, I would’ve put a bullet in my own brain by now. Pathetic."

The temperature in the room seemed to drop below freezing.

Those toxic, humiliating words dug straight into Julian’s deepest scars. Scarlett gasped, instinctively turning to look at Julian, bracing herself for his reaction. But Julian was eerily calm.

"Are you done?" he asked quietly.

Kane let out a dark laugh, opening his mouth to spew more venom.

In a flash, Julian’s hand shot out, his fingers clamping down on Kane's throat like a vice.

A choked gasp tore from Kane’s lips. His eyes bulged in shock as he frantically clawed at Julian’s arm, trying to break the hold.

Scarlett had never seen him like this. Julian had always been her anchor—steady, elegant, and composed. She had never witnessed this raw, unbridled fury.

She turned to see his dark eyes turning lethal, the veins in his neck standing out. He was consumed by absolute rage.

But putting herself in his shoes, Scarlett understood exactly where that anger came from.

No man could easily forgive the ultimate betrayal. Let alone the humiliation of being tricked into raising another man's child. Sylvia hadn't just broken a marriage; she had shattered his dignity.

Kane's taunts had just ripped open that wound and poured salt into it.

The two men clashed in a violent, chaotic brawl.

Julian fought with methodical precision and absolute ruthlessness, his fists landing heavy, bone-crushing blows fueled by years of pent-up anger.

Refusing to stay down, Kane spat out a broken tooth. With a twisted snarl, he suddenly reached into his boot, pulling out a wicked, gleaming blade. Without a second of hesitation, he lunged straight for Julian!
