The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 248

Zane spotted Bianca standing in the hallway, her eyes entirely red and swollen from crying.

Knowing it was about Aveline, he immediately stepped into the conference room to discreetly inform Mathis that she was waiting outside.

Mathis's voice was ice-cold. "Let her wait. Doesn't she want me dead? Let her taste a bit of excruciating pain too."

Just the thought of her plotting alongside Corbin made Mathis's entire body ache with fury.

Mathis dragged the meeting out until five in the afternoon. The moment he finally stepped out, Bianca rushed forward, her red eyes burning with rage. "Where did you take my daughter?"

The investment executives trailing behind Mathis exchanged shocked glances. Zane and Quincy immediately herded the executives into the nearest elevator to contain the fallout.

Mathis grabbed Bianca's arm tightly, the corners of his own eyes flashing red. "You'd rather team up with Corbin than let me go? Do you really hate me that much?"

Bianca suddenly burst into laughter—a sound hollowed out by pure mockery and sheer helplessness.

The man she had once loved with everything she had never believed a word she said; he only ever believed the poison others fed him.

When her laughter died, she gritted her teeth and spat, "Are you actually sick in the head? You believe whatever garbage Corbin feeds you? How did you even beat him in the first place?

"Do you really think I don't know what kind of trash the Jaggers are? You think I'd actually team up with him? Don't insult my intelligence."

Jax stepped forward and forcefully pried Mathis's hand off her arm. "Jagger, you and Bianca are divorced. You legally traded your woman's safety for Aveline's custody. Going back on your word and snatching Aveline away like this—are you actively trying to drive Bianca to her death?"
