He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 971

Even though he had braced himself, the moment Yardley pushed the door open, the sight before him made his scalp tingle and a cold chill run down his spine.

The door was ajar, and the villa was swarming with Kane’s men.

They looked like typical street thugs—some with dreadlocks, others in loud, printed shirts, their arms, chests, legs, and backs covered in a unified style of tattoos.

A few were lounging on the sofas, blowing thick clouds of smoke into the air, while others stood guard in twos and threes at every corner of the house.

From upstairs, Sylvia’s agonizing cries echoed down intermittently.

Hearing her voice, Yardley’s blood ran cold. Without a second thought, he charged toward the staircase.

However, two young men with dyed blond hair blocked his path at the bottom of the stairs, smirking insolently.

"Sorry, buddy, who are you supposed to be?"

"Our boss and his lady are busy right now. It's not a good time for you to go up. Do us a favor and wait down here."

Yardley’s face instantly turned livid.

Just then, a louder, more harrowing scream ripped from Sylvia’s throat. It sounded absolutely brutal.

"Get out of my way!"

"I'm Sylvia's brother! If anyone tries to stop me today, I'll take their life!"

Unable to endure another second, Yardley threw a vicious punch right at one of the blond guys.

The man stumbled back, his nose exploding in a bloody mess. In an instant, his companions swarmed forward, completely encircling Yardley.

Hearing the agonizing screams still coming from upstairs, Yardley felt his heart tearing to pieces. Throwing caution to the wind, he fought them with everything he had, ready to lay his life on the line.

At the same time, he couldn't help but pray silently that Scarlett had seen his text and was rushing over with backup.

It was only in a life-or-death moment like this that he suddenly realized the person he subconsciously trusted the most was still Scarlett.
