The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 247

Zane reported the information he had uncovered verbatim. Bianca and Corbin had originally crossed paths in a forum comment section, where they teamed up to deal with some internet trolls.

Afterward, they exchanged contacts on an encrypted messaging app, and today marked their very first offline meet-up.

Zane held a tablet showing security footage of the two entering the restaurant one after the other, along with a detailed log of their food order.

After absorbing the report, Mathis reined in his briefly lost composure.

He rubbed his temples, deep in thought for several minutes before finally asking, "Where exactly did you hear the rumor that they're teaming up?"

Zane transparently explained the source of the intel. Mathis's brow furrowed tightly. Why was Bianca choosing this exact moment to cause chaos?

He needed to find a way to distract her or force her to back off entirely.

But Bianca wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated anymore.

He glanced over at his secondary monitor, which displayed the tracking alerts. She was actively using the old laptop.

In an instant, clarity washed over him. She wasn't being nostalgic about their past; she was deliberately dangling bait to hook him.

In her eyes, he was so pathetic that he had to resort to stealing her technology just to please another woman.

Zane cautiously continued his report. "Your wife also reached out to Annelise, but Annelise politely rejected her request for a meeting."

A wave of dizzying fatigue hit Mathis. Simon Jennings's harsh words echoed in his ears once more: Bianca hadn't forgotten about Mabel's death.

Not only was she never going to forgive him, but she was also actively plotting her revenge.

If he wasn't chained to his desk dealing with the massive Aeterna stock offload this afternoon, he would have stormed straight into Stellaride to demand an explanation. Why would she rather join forces with Corbin than simply let him live?

But he was currently at the most critical juncture of his entire plan. He absolutely could not afford to see her right now.

Mathis's voice dropped to a cold, authoritative register. "Go to Crestmont International immediately. Charter a private flight and send my daughter to Harbor City. Deploy a full security detail and an elite nanny team. We'll bring her back once this entire mess is resolved."

Zane looked deeply concerned. "Mr. Jagger, if you do this, your wife will never forgive you."

Mathis waved him off, his eyes dark and distant. "Just do exactly as I say."
