The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 330

He couldn't accept it. She had fallen in love with him at first sight. She had willingly married him and accommodated him.

Why was she the one abandoning their marriage now? He had been left stranded in the wreckage.

Even after she learned the truth behind his actions, she refused to look back.

Tired of trying to guess what she was thinking, Mathis spoke bluntly. "Neville Quinn is still on the run. I've assigned men to protect you.

But today at the cemetery, you cried and said you wanted to kill me. I know you hate me because you think I caused Grandma's death.

But Bianca, I didn't want that to happen. Given the situation, the snipers were always going to be there.

The moment she made a move to harm a hostage, they were going to pull the trigger. I had no power to stop it."

Bianca glared at him, her eyes rimmed with red. "Are you about to tell me to just process it on my own again?"

Mathis shook his head and reached out to pull her trembling shoulders into his embrace. Trapped in the car, Bianca had nowhere to hide.

This was exactly why she hated riding in his car. She screamed, "Don't touch me!"

Mathis had no choice but to pull his hands back. His eyes burned into hers, and he tried to keep his voice as gentle as possible. "Bianca, what I'm saying is that you can't kill me, so you need to stop wasting your energy trying.

I am Aveline's father. As long as I'm here, I will do everything in my power to protect her. You don't want her to be bullied and all alone in the future, do you?"

Those words struck Bianca right in her most vulnerable spot.

He was right. Because she hadn't had parents to protect her, he had been able to bully and trample all over her.

She broke down entirely, her tears falling like a torrential downpour, completely soaking her face.

Mathis watched her, his heart aching violently. He desperately wanted to pull her into his arms but feared it would only agitate her further.

He waited in silence for her to cry it out. It wasn't until they arrived back at Crestmont International that Bianca finally stopped sobbing.

But she didn't say a single word to him, leaving him unsure if she had actually absorbed anything he said.

Just as they reached the door, Jax happened to return.

Jax had originally been scheduled for a two-week business trip, but after seeing the chaotic news circulating online yesterday, he rushed his handovers and flew back immediately.

Seeing the tear stains on Bianca's swollen face, and Mathis trailing right behind her, Jax instantly knew Mathis was being a monster again.

Jax pulled Bianca securely into his arms. Bianca gripped the edge of his shirt and whispered softly, "Jax."

Mathis realized that she could rely on literally anyone else in her life, except him.

A piercing, visceral pain ripped through his chest.

Frowning furiously, Jax barked, "Mathis Jagger, what the hell did you do to her this time?"

Mathis found Jax utterly repulsive. To him, Jax was just a useless leech who lived off a woman's money.
