The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 365

The woman he loved was standing beside that man tonight, and he had no idea if they would have any intimate interactions.

Frustrated beyond belief, Milo called Bianca to confirm if her promise to him still stood.

Bianca's phone was in her clutch, and with the venue being so loud, she didn't hear it.

Without an answer, Milo grew deeply anxious.

Meanwhile, Theodore was proudly introducing Bianca to everyone around him. "This is Bianca Baldwin, the Technical Director at Stellaride Computing. She's a genius in the computing field and my Mathis's wife.

She's beautiful, brilliant, incredibly outstanding, and very filial. She treats an old man like me with true sincerity.

My Mathis is truly blessed to have married her. Just look at the wonderful little darling she gave us."

Mathis offered a rare smile, telling the crowd, "Yes, I'm incredibly lucky."

With that, he looked at Bianca with deep affection, declaring his love for her in front of everyone present.

Standing nearby, Ingrid frowned as she looked at Bianca.

Bianca seemed to not even hear Mathis's public declaration, looking entirely spaced out.

Unable to stop herself, Ingrid nudged Bianca with her elbow. "Are you zoning out?"

Bianca rarely attended banquets and felt this glamorous display had little to do with her.

She was just wondering when this spectacle would end and if she'd have time to review the research documents Mathis had given her when she got home.

"Oh!" Bianca snapped back to reality. "Do you need something?"

Ingrid held back a smile, pleased that Bianca had completely tuned out Mathis's passionate confession.

Very satisfied with her reaction, she smiled and said, "Nothing."

Theodore had navigated the business world for decades. For him to praise someone so highly made everyone turn their heads.

The guests immediately began flattering them.

"Mr. Jagger, your family is truly blessed to have such a wonderful young woman marry in."

"Exactly! The Jaggers are a prestigious family. Even the Wilder heiress is engaged to another of your grandsons."

The man showering them with praise was Ethan Lowe, Chairman of Apex Maritime Group. He had always wanted Mathis to be his son-in-law, but Mathis had rejected the idea.

Ethan believed in matching social statures for marriage, and he hadn't expected Mathis to end up with a woman who had a degree from a top university but absolutely zero background.

Yet Old Mr. Jagger seemed to adore her. The Jagger family truly was unpredictable.
