He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 976

After all, it was far too shameful of a thing to speak out loud.

But now, he realized that if he didn't lay it all bare and resolve the grievances Scarlett and Julian held against him, he would be completely, entirely alone for the rest of his life.

After everything he had been through, he was finally seeing things clearly.

His mother, his sisters, his father—none of them were reliable. And Veronica was nothing short of a walking disaster... Ironically, the people who had always opposed him, Scarlett and Julian, were the only ones he could actually trust and rely on when it truly mattered.

He had known Julian since childhood. Having been friends for so many years, he trusted Julian's character implicitly.

As for Scarlett, they had worked together for years, been married for years, and shared a daughter. Deep down, he knew perfectly well that if Scarlett truly wanted him dead, he would have been ruined a long time ago. But she never pushed him over the edge; she had always left him a sliver of mercy.

Yardley's thoughts churned chaotically. After finishing his first glass of liquor, he poured himself another.

Julian and Scarlett realized that whatever he was about to say was incredibly difficult for him and that he needed a moment to gather his courage. They stayed completely silent, simply watching him drink, waiting for him to speak.

Only after three full glasses of liquor burned down his throat did he begin.

Yardley took a deep breath, raised his head, and slowly met Scarlett's eyes.

"The truth is, Sylvia is my biological half-sister."

"!!!"

Hearing this sudden revelation, Scarlett felt as though her brain had short-circuited.

She stared at Yardley in absolute disbelief. The sheer shock made her bolt out of her chair so fast she nearly tripped over it.

Julian caught her arm to steady her. Compared to her panic, he remained much more composed.
