The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 372

She smiled, remembering a popular internet saying: looking at a handsome guy cures all ailments.

It really was true.

Joyride Games' marketing for their new release was entirely focused on their CEO. After all, he was incredibly popular, with legions of fangirls online.

He was handsome, came from a wealthy background, and had a great sense of humor—any one of those traits was a massive draw.

But he had the whole package, making him the absolute perfect spokesperson for the game.

The PR team didn't just have him hype up the crowd with a dance; they had him involved in every aspect of the event, from presenting the game to interacting with the cosplayers and the live audience.

But his mind was entirely focused on Bianca, leaving him visibly distracted throughout the launch.

Chase Sheridan was about to pull his hair out over the young boss's behavior. He had to remind him time and time again just to snap his wandering attention back to reality.

Only then did the press conference wrap up successfully.

Joyride's new game garnered a massive amount of attention.

After lunch, Sylvia Mills checked in on Bianca again. She assessed her condition and decided she still wasn't stable enough, so she held off on mentioning the fainting incident from the night before.

After walking her through another counseling session, Sylvia told Bianca to call her immediately if she ever felt unwell, no matter the time or place.

Given her current state, she couldn't afford any delays.

Bianca thanked her, and Sylvia chuckled, reminding her, "I'm charging you for this, you know. It's not pro bono."

Sylvia was deeply empathetic and genuinely wanted to see Bianca recover.

She had suffered too much in the past, and fate couldn't possibly let her suffer forever.

Afterward, Jax Holden chatted with Bianca for a while. They mostly talked about their childhood, and Sylvia noticed that Bianca had a deep-seated obsession with the warmth of a family.

She asked thoughtfully, "Did you get married right after graduation because you craved a warm family?"

Bianca nodded. That was a huge part of the reason.

She thought marrying the man she loved would give her a warm home, but it only brought her a cold marriage and years of verbal abuse.

That marriage was the funeral of her unrequited love, burying the romantic flutterings of her youth, three years of her career, and the lives of her loved ones.

The price of loving the wrong person was simply too devastating.

Thankfully, she wouldn't have to see Mathis anymore.

Once Sylvia left, Bianca didn't talk much more with Jax. Instead, she browsed the tech forum.

Every post she had made previously had a detailed, thoughtful reply from a user named 'Sunstone'.

Rather than blindly agreeing with her technical theories, he offered market-driven suggestions.

Bianca had never realized her technical work could be viewed through a commercial lens and found his perspective incredibly refreshing.

She engaged in a deep discussion with him. Sunstone was online, and the two private-messaged for quite a while.
