The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 192

She remembered the birth certificate said Aveline was born in March. Assuming nothing went wrong, she would have indeed been a March baby.

"Wow, she's gorgeous."

Aveline seemed to understand that she was being praised and happily waved her chubby little hands in greeting.

Everyone gushed over how adorable Bianca's daughter was.

Cillian Calder walked in, surprised to see Bianca with a baby in tow.

"He actually agreed to let you take her?" Cillian asked.

"No," Bianca replied. "His mistress came looking for him, so he didn't have time to play dad. I just grabbed her and brought her here. I was hoping Xanthe could keep an eye on her while we meet. I'll take her back right after."

"Sounds good!"

Xanthe Webber came downstairs holding a tablet. She wasn't great with kids, but figured she could always put on some cartoons if Aveline started to cry.

Fortunately, Aveline was incredibly brave and didn't cry easily.

She had a surprisingly long attention span and played happily with Xanthe in the company's designated kids' zone.

"Fun, Xanthe!"

Xanthe patted her head, laughing. "If you like it so much, your mom and I will bring you here all the time."

Bianca and the others headed into the conference room to finalize the schedule for the Developer Conference.

Top-tier tech leaders from across the IT industry were invited to share new innovations, but to their surprise, Cynthia Quinn was on the guest list.

Noticing Bianca's expression sour, Cillian quickly explained. "It's the same stunt she pulled at Progenix Tech. She buys out other people's patents, slaps her name on them, and calls it her own. Real insiders don't buy into that garbage anymore.

These days, if you can still travel internationally without issue, you're not a real tech threat. If foreign intelligence hasn't flagged you, it means your resume is mostly fluff."
