Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 161

The next morning.

Cynthia stood before her bedroom mirror, her expression tense. Even with makeup carefully applied, she couldn't quite disguise her slightly puffy eyes. She dabbed at her concealer again, but eventually sighed, defeated, and gave up. There was no point fussing over it anymore. She headed downstairs.

Juliet was already seated at the dining table, quietly eating her breakfast. Cynthia joined her, never one to forget her responsibilities.

"The doctor wants you in for your IV at two this afternoon," she reminded Juliet. "And you've got another round of chemo tomorrow."

Juliet merely nodded, nonchalant as ever. "Got it."

Seeing Juliet's indifferent attitude, Cynthia leaned in, her gaze intent. "I'll have your assistant keep me updated on how you're doing."

She worried Juliet would get caught up in work again and forget the hospital visit.

Juliet arched an eyebrow, lips quirking. "Whatever you say."

Stepping out of the elevator, she ran right into Dominic's secretary.

The secretary smiled warmly and greeted her. "Miss Tremaine, Mr. Holloway is in a meeting. Why don't I show you to my desk for now?"
