The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 295

Mathis's patience had run dry. He said in a low, heavy tone, "Mr. Calder, don't forget why you're sitting at this negotiation table with me today. You're going to sign this contract whether you want to or not."

Cillian knew exactly what he meant. If it weren't for the pressure from higher-ups, he never would have sat down to negotiate with Mathis in the first place.

Bianca was entirely accustomed to this kind of blatant extortion.

Mathis had always been the type of man who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.

He came prepared; he was absolutely determined to secure this partnership today.

She just couldn't figure out what the point of all his stalling yesterday was.

With both sides deadlocked in the conference room, Mathis stepped out to make a phone call. Shortly after, a call from Cillian's superiors came directly to his phone.

There was no room for discussion—he was ordered to cooperate with Mathis and sign the contract.

Cillian was completely floored by Mathis. Was doing business all about pulling strings? Did he pull this kind of stunt in foreign markets too?

To achieve his goals, the man was utterly shameless.

Seeing Cillian's dark expression, Bianca quietly asked what had happened. With everyone watching, Cillian couldn't explain the details.

He reluctantly nodded and agreed to sign.

Bianca immediately knew Cillian had been pressured by the powers that be.

A smug, triumphant look surfaced on Cynthia's face. No matter how much Cillian wanted to protect Bianca, he simply didn't have the power to do so.

But Mathis was different. As long as he willed it, Cynthia could live comfortably under his absolute protection forever.

She didn't have to fight for anything; she just got to enjoy a peaceful, effortless life.

Cynthia looked at Cillian and sneered, "Mr. Calder, you were so arrogant before, yet look how humble you are today."

Before Cillian could even open his mouth, Bianca glared at her fiercely. "Do you think you can rely on Mathis for the rest of your life? If he can cheat..."

Before Bianca could finish her sentence, Mathis cut her off. He knew Bianca was about to say that if he could cheat with Cynthia, he could cheat on her with another woman too.

Mathis swiftly intervened, "Let's not engage in pointless arguments here. Our ultimate goal is to achieve a win-win situation."

Bianca couldn't take it anymore. She cursed in her head: *Win-win my ass. You two are just a pair of snakes trampling over basic decency. Despicable, shameless, birds of a feather.*

*May Aeterna Dynamics' stock price crumble to dust, and may your computing center burn to ashes.*

Mathis completely ignored Bianca's hostile expression and ordered his team to prepare the signing ceremony.

The moment the two parties signed, it was live-streamed across the internet. Normally, netizens wouldn't care about niche tech-circle news, but Mathis had thrown serious money into buying trending spots.

The partnership between Aeterna and Stellaride made massive waves in the tech industry, and even casual internet users caught wind of it.
