The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 332

She wasn't used to documenting her life like that, but she was more than happy to indulge her fiancé's request, agreeing without a second thought.

She had jumped straight into marriage without ever experiencing a normal dating phase, and she wanted to see what a real relationship felt like.

Milo was far more stable than Mathis, and Bianca felt his requests were perfectly reasonable.

After finishing his pasta, Milo took a screenshot of their chat, blurred out their personal info, and proudly posted it on his secret Twitter account.

He captioned the tweet: [My fiancée spotted my reflection at a glance. She only has eyes for me.]

He had said before that if he ever dated Bianca, he would show her off online every single day.

If Mathis was going to play dirty and stop him from posting publicly, he'd just do it secretly.

One way or another, he was going to declare his happiness to the world.

...

Back at the pier, Mathis stepped onto the yacht's deck. The cabin was bathed in soft, warm light. Just as Payton had mentioned, Annelise's cousin, Maia Hawthorne, was there.

Maia had recently founded a storage hardware company called Acuity Innovations and was currently looking for market funding.

During Dawnstar's investment meetings, Mathis had recognized the company's potential and wanted to discuss funding with her.

He had asked Annelise to arrange a meeting before, but Maia had always been unavailable.

Seeing Mathis, Maia's lips curved into a smirk that carried a hint of mockery and amusement.

She had wanted to meet the titan of the investment world, knowing that almost every company Mathis backed had a brilliant future.

However, as the founder of a hot new startup, she knew she had to play hard to get to drive up her valuation.

That was why she had repeatedly stalled on meeting him, a rarity in the startup circle.

Usually, founders only met with others after Dawnstar rejected their pitch. Nobody ever rejected a meeting with Mathis.

Mathis was oblivious to Maia's little games. He simply didn't believe anyone would turn down his money.

Even back in the day, as proud and aloof as Cillian Calder was, he had still enthusiastically pitched Stellaride Computing when Mathis showed interest, actively pushing the deal forward.

No matter how highly sought after Maia was, she couldn't compare to Cillian.

The long table in the cabin was lined with champagne, wine, liquor, and an array of exquisite hors d'oeuvres and pastries.

A crowd of well-dressed elites watched as Mathis boarded, silently acknowledging that his arrival marked the official start of the party.

Noticing Corbin's obvious displeasure, Mathis turned to Payton and said, "Next time you invite him, don't bother inviting me."

He had never given Corbin any respect, but few in this circle were ever so blunt.
