Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 37

A flicker of hope crossed Cynthia's face, and the stiffness in her smile finally eased.

She was just about to speak when the man, still leafing through the documents before him, added coolly, "If I buy the shares of VistaSphere Group, Miss Tremaine, but you still intend to meddle in its future, then there's no point in continuing these negotiations."

He snapped the folder shut and set it aside with a casual flick of his wrist, his dark, sharp eyes locking onto hers with unwavering intensity.

Cynthia met his gaze head-on, not an ounce of hesitation in her eyes.

"You worry too much, Mr. Holloway. Once I sell VistaSphere Group's shares to you, its future is no longer my concern."

She'd come this far—there was nothing left to hold her back from letting go.

The proposals she'd written six months ago were never for herself, but for Dominic, so he could see VistaSphere Group's potential and strength. Whatever path Dominic chose for the company, whatever conflicts he might have with Benedict, and how it would all affect VistaSphere Group—none of it mattered to her anymore.

Dominic's sharp demeanor softened, just a bit.

"Let's hear your terms."

Cynthia pressed her lips together, considering.

"VistaSphere Group invested in a project some time ago, but for certain reasons, Father Benedict unilaterally pulled the funding. I hope you can see to it that the investment continues."

Jenny had only gotten involved on her behalf, which led to Benedict's withdrawal. Cynthia had promised she'd handle it, so she needed to help Valmont Holdings through this crisis.

Dominic gave a slight nod. "That's not an unreasonable request."

"There's just one thing I'm curious about," he continued. "Do you want me to invest in the project as a shareholder of VistaSphere Group, or under the Holloway Enterprises name?"

The question caught Cynthia off guard.

Dominic's tone was offhand, as if it was nothing more than idle curiosity.

But Cynthia could see the trap. If she asked him to invest as a VistaSphere Group shareholder, it would look like she was still attached to the company, still trying to influence its future.

She paused for a few seconds, then replied calmly, "Whichever capacity benefits you most, Mr. Holloway. That's what matters."
