The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 274

By then, no one would ever remember the fact that her mother had started out as a mistress.

She and her mother would finally be able to hold their heads high.

At the thought of all this, Cynthia's grievances evaporated. She hugged Mathis's muscular arm and murmured, "Mathis, this is the very last time I'll suffer at that woman's hands. I hope there's never a next time."

He stroked her hair gently, his voice soft and seemingly full of affection. "Don't worry. I'll protect you from now on."

Lamont was brought into the hospital room, crying and asking what had happened. Had the bad lady done this?

Mathis frowned. The 'bad lady' Lamont was referring to was obviously Bianca.

Cynthia nodded. "Yes. Don't cry, Lamont. Daddy said he's going to teach her a lesson later."

Lamont was her ultimate weapon for fighting for favor. He hugged Mathis tightly and pleaded, "Daddy, don't let the bad lady bully Mommy anymore."

"I won't."

That night, he didn't leave. He stayed in the hospital room, keeping watch over Cynthia until morning.

The Quinn family was incredibly satisfied. Harlowe Thorne, in particular, was envious that her daughter had found such an impeccable fiancé.

Neville Quinn, however, had no time to care about any of this. He was desperate to acquire Mathis's shares and was busy lobbying his secret backers.

Because the deadline Mathis had given him was rapidly approaching.

...

After the gala ended, Milo's driver took Bianca home. Cillian had assigned extra bodyguards to keep watch around her, terrified someone might try to retaliate against her.

Cillian leaned in and whispered, "Stay calm, Bianca. As long as you're alive, there will be another chance."

He knew she didn't have much keeping her going—only Aveline, and her burning thirst for vengeance.

Since she was determined to seek revenge, he would help her without hesitation.
