The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 371

Zane reported, "The man was brought in completely unaware, and they managed to bypass every single camera in the Jagger family estate.

Whoever did this obviously knows our security layout inside and out."

This answer caught Mathis off guard. "Knows the layout inside and out?" he repeated, a dark premonition rising in his chest. "Who could it be?"

Things were spiraling out of control again, just like they had when Bianca had adamantly demanded a divorce.

He refused to let anything slip from his grasp—except for her.

The room fell dead silent.

No one could answer his question.

Mathis tapped his fingers lightly against the desk, the rhythmic sound making everyone too terrified to even breathe heavily.

There was no telling what kind of storm this incident was about to brew.

His mind raced, analyzing exactly who could have obtained the estate's security blueprints.

Every single member of the Jagger family, aside from his grandfather, was a suspect. That meant investigating them one by one, including all the women.

Especially his sister. If he found out she was behind this, he would show absolutely no mercy this time.

It had threatened Bianca's life; he wasn't going to let it slide.

Mathis ordered his team to dig deep, demanding that no stone be left unturned.

That included Yarden Jagger, whom he had already exiled overseas.

Yarden and Lamont were living miserably abroad. Mathis had already ordered Lamont's arm to be ruined as payback for the incident where he attacked Bianca.

And Yarden had one of his legs broken—payback for meddling in Mathis's marriage.

His older cousin would have to rely on crutches for the rest of his life. His grandfather had asked him to spare Yarden's life.

He spared his life, but he didn't spare the man.

Things he couldn't do back home, he could do with absolute impunity abroad.

Once they were sent away, the overseas branch immediately kicked Yarden out of the company.

His luxury mansion was seized, his cash accounts frozen, and his monthly allowance from the family trust was completely cut off by Mathis.

They were reduced to surviving on handouts from Jules Jagger and his wife, whose own finances weren't exactly overflowing either.

In the Jagger family, if you didn't hold a position in the company, you couldn't live the lavish lifestyle of the elite.

Theodore was terrified of raising a bunch of useless trust fund kids.

Yarden had grown up surrounded by wealth and luxury; transitioning to a life of frugality was agonizing. Now, he wasn't just suffering physically.

He had fallen from high society into the mud, living at the bottom of the barrel with his crippled son, every day feeling like an eternity.

Mathis felt zero sympathy for Yarden's plight. When the man teamed up with Cynthia Quinn to plot against him, he should have considered the consequences.

Zane hesitated before asking, "Actually, Mr. Jagger, why don't we just ask your wife who triggered her yesterday? It would give us a solid lead to start our investigation."
