The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 272

He lowered his voice. "I have to say, you're the type to make big moves in silence. Your plans are meticulous, leaving absolutely no loopholes.

You just miscalculated how much Mathis cares about Cynthia, and you didn't expect him to show up right on time.

With such a perfect opportunity, she only suffered minor injuries, and she even managed to win more of Mathis's pity.

I heard he's staying by her bedside at the hospital. Seems like you lost more than you gained."

Right after the incident, Corbin had immediately checked with Jagger General Hospital about Cynthia's condition.

It was painful, yes, but not life-threatening. He thought Bianca had wasted her time.

Corbin didn't know that Cynthia had caused the death of Bianca's grandmother, Mabel. He assumed Bianca's attack was driven by pure jealousy over Mathis.

He just thought she was a capable woman who ultimately couldn't escape petty romantic rivalries. Too narrow-minded.

Bianca looked at him calmly, refusing to admit to anything. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Corbin chuckled. "You've got great composure. Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to ruin Cynthia's reputation."

Bianca sneered. "Anyone can make empty promises.

Come talk to me when you actually take action. Oh, and you'd better speed things up. Stellaride Computing is negotiating with Aeterna Dynamics next week.

They could finalize a partnership at any moment. If you're too slow, Mathis is going to be riding high again."

The smile completely vanished from Corbin's face.

Milo finished his song and came over to find Bianca. Just as he reached her, the police approached.

Since there was no direct evidence, they only questioned her as a formality.

When asked what she was doing at the time of the incident, Bianca grabbed Milo's arm and said, "I was chatting with Mr. Wilder the entire time."
