Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 385

As the elevator doors slid shut, Cynthia finally let her gaze drop, rubbing her temples. She was about to head back into Benedict's office when she remembered Dominic was still waiting in hers.

She took a moment to compose herself before heading upstairs to face him. Every time Dominic encountered Benedict, a deep-seated mistrust of her would surface, which was always a frustrating ordeal. She hated the feeling of being doubted by him, but he seemed convinced that she was completely blinded by her feelings. He believed that all it would take was a crook of Benedict’s finger, and she’d forgive him for everything.

When Cynthia entered her office, she found Dominic sitting in her chair, gazing out the window. His deep-set eyes held a cool, distant quality. He glanced up as she came in, his expression tinged with a cold arrogance.

“Is it handled?”

“Not yet,” Cynthia admitted.

Dominic let out a cold laugh. “You cause all that commotion and still haven't handled it. Did you lose your nerve, or are old feelings getting in the way?”

She had anticipated this line of questioning, so she remained remarkably calm. With her head slightly bowed, she kept her expression neutral. In Dominic’s eyes, her seven-year history with Benedict was a permanent stain on her record, so there was no point in defending herself. Instead, she cut straight to business.

“Our plan was exposed. I was afraid we wouldn’t have time to wait for the audit team from Holloway Enterprises, so I took my people down to seize the documents and preserve as much evidence as possible.”

Dominic’s eyes were as sharp as a hawk’s, seemingly capable of piercing through any lie. Cynthia felt no guilt under his intense scrutiny, thankful that she was telling him the truth. When he remained silent, she continued.
