Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 242

Cynthia sat back in her chair, one hand propping up her chin, her expression utterly relaxed as she watched Benedict rage. She arched a brow, her voice calm but icy.

"At this point, there's nothing left that's confidential about VistaSphere Group."

"If you want to throw a tantrum, Mr. Shepard, do it outside. Don’t waste your breath in my office."

Benedict drew a deep breath and released his grip on Fred’s collar. He yanked out the chair across from Cynthia and sat down with a scowl. His voice was cold and clipped.

"VistaSphere Group is in real trouble now."

Cynthia’s brow quirked higher.

Seeing her indifference, Benedict’s temper flared again. "I’ve messed with Dominic."

For the first time, Cynthia’s expression shifted, the nonchalance wiped away as she fixed him with a serious look. "What do you mean?"

Benedict raked a defeated hand through his hair. "Dominic was interested in VistaSphere Group, right? So I went to see him at lunch, tried to talk investment. It didn’t go well. He’s already made it clear—anyone who buys VistaSphere Group shares is making an enemy of him."

Cynthia’s eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp and openly disdainful. "Let’s be honest. You weren’t there to negotiate an investment. You wanted him to buy up VistaSphere Group shares. You’re worried my father might buy them first, and if he and I team up, you’ll lose all your power. So you went looking for another buyer."

She laid his intentions bare with ruthless precision. Benedict couldn’t even meet her eyes, guilt written all over his face.

Her look of contempt only deepened.

Benedict closed his eyes for a moment. With things this bad, he had no choice but to drop the pretense.

"Cynthia, we can’t sell those shares to Mr. Tremaine anymore. Even if he did get them, if Holloway Enterprises puts on the pressure, we won’t be able to hold them off."
