He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 978

Yardley instinctively wanted to explain himself, but the words grated on Scarlett's ears. She immediately waved him off.

"Yardley, stop trying to whitewash what you did. It can't be washed clean."

"No matter what your relationship with her is, when you crossed the line, you crossed the line. You let me and Dawn down, and nothing changes the fundamental truth of that."

Julian immediately backed her up.

"And that includes the damage you did to me as well."

"I never even liked Sylvia. The only reason I was ever forced into a relationship with her was because of you."

"And look how that turned out? The things she did caused immense pain to my entire family and dragged our name through the mud."

"Yardley, you can't just throw out right and wrong just because she's your sister. Some mistakes are so outrageously unforgivable that Scarlett and I simply cannot, and will not, forgive you."

Scarlett and Julian's unwavering stance made the light in Yardley's eyes dim once again.

He frowned.

"I didn't tell you all this to beg for your forgiveness. I just wanted to explain the reason why I treated her so well."

He let out another heavy sigh.

"Now that she's become like this, I don't even know if she'll ever recover. Honestly, my feelings are completely tangled right now."

"I used to think that as long as I took good care of her, helped plan her life, and found her a good partner, she'd live a happy life."

"I never expected she would take a winning hand and completely destroy it."

Speaking of Melanie, Scarlett shook her head in sheer disbelief.

"I can confidently say she's an exact replica of your mother in her youth. Her romantic life is an absolute trainwreck, and her personality is toxic and arrogant. If she doesn't change, her ending will be even worse than Sylvia's."

"And then there's you. You always put on this flawless act for everyone, desperately trying to show the world how perfect you are. But deep down, you're hollow. You have no sincerity. You're arrogant, conceited, you think you're better than everyone else, and you lack any capacity for empathy... Honestly, your flaws are endless! The reason our marriage shattered and the reason you've ended up where you are today is entirely due to your personality and your toxic family!"

As Scarlett spoke, her emotions flared up.

Hearing these dirty, hidden secrets of the Flynn family made her feel even more resentful for the years she had poured her heart and soul into them!

If she had known the truth about how repulsive they really were, if someone had simply cleared the fog for her sooner, she probably would have walked away long ago.

She wouldn't have had to wait until she had a child and finished her postpartum recovery to slowly discover that beneath their perfect facade, the Flynn family was built on nothing but filth and chaos!
