Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 379

“Seven years with a man like you… I regret every single moment.”

Cynthia Tremaine’s icy expression and sharp words made Benedict Shepard’s face drain of color.

The elevator doors slid open, and she stepped inside without a backward glance.

“Cynthia!”

Benedict moved to follow her, but his phone rang, stopping him in his tracks.

He pulled it out and saw Janice Ormond’s name on the screen. Frowning, he looked up at Cynthia just as her own phone began to ring.

Cynthia glanced down to see it was her assistant, Frank. She pressed the close-door button before answering.

A powerful sense of unease washed over Benedict as their eyes met. He quickly answered Janice's call.

The moment he put the phone to his ear, Janice’s frantic voice came through. “Benedict, that assistant of Cynthia’s—he’s taken my uncle!”

Benedict’s brow furrowed in frustration, and he lunged to stop the closing elevator doors, but he was too late. The car was already ascending.

“Miss Tremaine, I’ve convinced Charles Ormond to come with me, but his nephew, Johnson, spotted us leaving. He’s right behind us now. What should I do?”

Cynthia’s grip on her phone tightened. “Take him to the police station,” she ordered. Johnson wouldn't dare follow them there.

“But won’t that disrupt your plan?” Frank asked.

“Our first priority is to ensure everyone’s safety. We can’t proceed otherwise,” Cynthia replied calmly. “Since they’ve found us out, we’ll just have to move the timeline up. After you file the report, bring your team here.”
