The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 352

It wasn't like he couldn't afford to just give her the money.

Bianca hated dwelling on the past. After feeding Aveline, she sent a message to Yonah asking for time off, then went with Mathis to Dawnstar Capital to sign the contracts.

The last time she had visited, the receptionist hadn't known she was the CEO's wife.

This time, walking hand-in-hand with her husband and daughter, the family of three looked strikingly gorgeous and surprisingly harmonious.

However, Bianca was wearing no makeup and casual clothes, making her look entirely out of place among the impeccably styled finance professionals in the building.

Standing next to Mathis in his bespoke suit, they looked like they belonged to completely different worlds.

Employees gossiped in group chats about why the boss didn't dress his wife up. A colleague from the investment department leaked: [Bianca isn't broke. She's a tech genius, so maybe she just doesn't care about fashion. The boss transferred all his shares in Stellaride Computing to her, along with SDK and Progenix Tech.]

That single message was like a drop of water hitting boiling oil. The chat exploded.

[Holy crap, how much in dividends does she get from three companies every year? Why is she even working? If I were her, I'd just stay home and enjoy life.]

[Rumor has it she was a stay-at-home trophy wife for the first three years of their marriage. She only started working after the boss allegedly had an affair. Do you really think a guy as ruthless as our boss would let her live freely if they divorced? Women need their careers; a career is way more reliable than a man.]

[She's Professor Adler's protégé, incredibly famous in the computing world. Two years ago, the patent Cynthia used for that Progenix Tech project was actually Bianca's. It was even named after Mr. Jagger's birthday.]

[Wow, no wonder she refused to stay a trophy wife. She seems to really love Mr. Jagger. So when he was supposedly cheating on her, why wasn't there a massive public blowout?]

[Maybe they fought about it in private, and we just don't know! Notice how she isn't even looking at him, but his eyes are so soft when he looks at her.] analyzed one observant coworker.

[He used to look at Cynthia with that same deep affection. Honestly, his acting is so good I bet he took classes.]

The debate over whether Mathis had actually cheated raged on like wildfire.

By the end of it, everyone reached a consensus: Bianca was a saint with an impossibly high tolerance. She had endured her husband's high-profile affair for over two years without ever exposing their marriage license on social media.

They all sighed, agreeing that being a wealthy man's wife was no easy task. You had to swallow insults that ordinary people never could.

Just on that point alone, very few could actually handle it.

The lawyer brought over two contracts. One transferred Rosalind's assets to Aveline; the other handled Mathis's personal assets.

He hadn't given Aveline any Dawnstar shares. Confused, Bianca asked, "Why wouldn't you give her your most valuable asset?"

Mathis thought it was an incredibly naive question. Usually, he wouldn't even bother answering something so basic.

But since it was Bianca, he explained patiently, "The company's valuation is too high. If I rashly transfer shares to a child with zero management capability, I'd just be inviting competitors to attack."
