The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 341

Her words rendered Mathis speechless. She was absolutely right; deep down, he didn't want his sister to go to prison.

After all, Bianca was safe and sound. As for Milo taking the hit for her, Mathis considered it an act of fate.

His mother's fake suicide simply gave him the perfect excuse to bail his sister out.

Bianca waved the documents in her hand and said, "But thank you anyway, for solving this problem for me."

With that, she unceremoniously shut the door in his face, completely cutting off any further communication.

They were strangers now. From this moment on, he was nothing more than Aveline's father to her.

Once back inside, Bianca immediately shared the good news with Milo, though a wave of frustration washed over him.

He sighed softly. "I went to see those two women before to get them to drop the charges, but they wouldn't budge.

Mathis is just one step ahead of me. He has the leverage to force them to back down."

But Bianca didn't care about Mathis's influence. She said rationally, "He's completely unpredictable. In the morning he says he won't save his sister, and by the afternoon he's pulling strings just because his mother staged a fake suicide.

Even if he had the power to perform miracles, I wouldn't care.

It's just a tactic to keep me around. The moment I threaten his core interests, I'll be the one thrown to the wolves.

But you... you worked so hard for me behind the scenes and didn't even mention it when things didn't pan out.

You could have told me, you know. I actually love knowing you're looking out for me."

Ever since her mother was hospitalized, Bianca had always been deeply starved for affection.

That was exactly why his emotional neglect had hurt her so much during their three-year marriage.

Even when they had that one month of passionate romance, she just assumed it was a fleeting whim on his part.

The second she found out about his affair with Cynthia, she had wanted out instantly.

Milo sighed affectionately. "I really am crazy about you. You're so honest and straightforward, and you never hold back your praise."

Men were actually quite easy to please, and genuine praise from a woman could easily go to their heads.

For a man of Milo's caliber, what mattered most was sincere admiration—especially from the woman he loved.

Every conversation with Bianca felt like floating on a cloud.

Bianca chuckled lightly. "You're silly. Relationships are a two-way street. You're genuine with me, so of course I'm genuine with you."

Unlike Mathis, where she constantly had to guess what he was thinking.

And guessing people's motives was exactly what she was worst at.

Milo laughed through the phone, reminding her to call him immediately if she ever needed anything.

"You have a habit of bottling up your feelings, which only makes you miserable. Remember, I'm right here. If anything happens, tell me first and I'll handle it."
