Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 247

Jenny could see that Cynthia had truly moved on, but she couldn’t help probing a little.

“What if Mr. Shepard’s really turned over a new leaf? Wouldn’t you even consider giving him another chance? People always say a prodigal son who comes home is worth his weight in gold.”

Cynthia arched an eyebrow. “Worth his weight in gold? Who’s handing out the gold? If someone wants to trade, I’m all ears—I’m not lacking for anything these days, except maybe a pile of gold.”

Jenny burst out laughing.

It was clear Cynthia had zero patience left for Benedict.

“You’re right, honestly. Some of these guys need to learn the hard way. Otherwise, they’ll keep thinking every woman will just forgive them and wait around, no matter what.”

Cynthia gave a lazy little smile.

“I can’t even watch a short video at regular speed, you think I’d stand still and wait for someone to come crawling back?”

Jenny raised her eyebrows, grinning. “I swear, you’re my new idol.”

Cynthia just chuckled and glanced over, her voice calm.

“Jenny, you don’t need to stay stuck in a failed marriage. You’re not exactly helpless, you know.”

Jenny sighed, her tone much softer as the conversation shifted in her direction.

“It’s different for me.”

“We signed a prenup. From the start, it was always just business.”

Cynthia nodded, saying nothing more. After all, she was just an outsider.

Jenny didn’t want to linger on her own marriage either and quickly veered the conversation away.

She was one of the few people who knew Cynthia had sold her shares in VistaSphere Group to Dominic. Once she got talking, the topic naturally shifted to work.

Jenny took a deep breath, lowering her voice. “Cynthia, do you really not care if VistaSphere Group gets swallowed up by Holloway Enterprises?”

“There’s no turning back now. Why wouldn’t I be alright with it?” Cynthia’s tone was serene as she sat, perfectly composed. “Honestly, for VistaSphere Group, this might be the best possible outcome.”

Jenny stared, shocked. Seeing how utterly unruffled Cynthia was, she sat down too, her voice tinged with something like regret.

“I could never be as nonchalant as you.”

When Jenny had taken over Valmont Holdings, it had been on the verge of bankruptcy. She’d poured everything she had into saving it, day and night.

If some corporate giant tried to take over Valmont, she knew she’d never be as calm as Cynthia.

Cynthia just smiled, her tone gentle.

“That’s just how it is for VistaSphere Group. This was always where it was headed. If Mr. Holloway wants it, and it becomes part of Holloway Enterprises, then it’s fulfilled its purpose.”
