The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 222

Bianca didn't know why, but hearing Xanthe rip into Mathis instantly brightened her mood.

Smiling, she said, "Next time, I'm going to record everything you say about my ex-husband. Whenever I get furious at him, I'll just pull it out and listen. It'll instantly make the skies clear up."

These days, whenever Bianca woke up in the morning, her heart felt utterly gray and clouded.

During the hardest days, she had been swallowing handfuls of antidepressants. Her foggy mind was constantly flooded with memories of her parents and Grandma Mabel, always ending with the image of Mabel collapsing in her arms, whispering, "Don't cry, Bunny."

She didn't want to cry, but the tears just wouldn't stop.

Later, she would remember Theodore Jagger's advice to her: leave Mathis, and everything would get better.

Yes, she had to leave him completely.

Xanthe waved a hand dismissively. "No need to record it. Whenever you're in a bad mood, just call me, and I'll deliver a live, customized rant right to your face.

"If I wasn't afraid of Mathis suing me, I'd start a year-long livestream just to curse him out. He's even less of a human being than my former brother-in-law."

Bianca said calmly, "My history with him was just a toxic curse. Thank God it's all in the past now."

She thought bitterly to herself: If heaven had a sense of justice, it wouldn't force true lovers apart. If it was unjust, then one could only bow to fate. When it started, I saw him in the crowd. When it ended, I saw him fade into the crowd.

That was probably the ultimate conclusion of a doomed romance.

Speaking of livestreams, Xanthe suddenly looked at Hector. "I've seen a lot of lawyers doing live Q&A sessions online. Why don't you do one?"

Hector picked up his glass of water, took a sip, and said, "I can barely keep up with my caseload; I don't have the energy for that. I'm also the legal advisor for a major corporation, and now I'm Bianca's counsel too. Where would I find the time?"
