The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 171

Zane was an incredibly perceptive assistant; he had been monitoring Bianca's schedule since the day Mabel's incident occurred.

But that very night, she vanished as if she had evaporated into thin air.

"There are no departure records for Ms. Baldwin, nor any flight logs. She hasn't used any of her bank cards or messaging apps, and we can't trace the IP address on the laptop you installed the tracker on."

Mathis's voice was dark. "Have you checked with her inner circle?"

"Yes. She hasn't contacted a single person."

Mathis closed his eyes, a single tear slipping down his cheek.

"Bianca," he muttered to himself, "where on earth did you go?"

Theodore's heavy sigh was his only answer. "If you knew it would end up like this, why push her so far? If you hadn't been so reckless, you wouldn't have lost everything between the two of you."

Mathis's head throbbed with a splitting pain.

"Grandpa, you should head back. The nurses can take care of me."

Theodore scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "If your safety wasn't directly tied to the group's stock price, do you really think I'd bother dealing with you?"

Mathis couldn't accept that Bianca was just gone. When she was in Austin City, he could at least see her through the surveillance cameras.

Now, her disappearance was absolute. He didn't know how he was supposed to keep living.

That night, he personally led his team to scour for any trace of her, but despite their relentless efforts, they found absolutely nothing.

Eventually, Mathis got hold of Xanthe's contact info and called her.

"Where is she?"

Recognizing his voice, Xanthe exploded. "Are you out of your damn mind, Mathis? You forced her away! She's so terrified of you she doesn't even dare contact her own friends. She was already battling severe depression, and with you pushing her to the brink, I'm terrified she might quietly end her own life out there."
