Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 200

"Cyndi, I know what I did was unforgivable…"

Cynthia didn't even look up from her phone. "So you're here to beg for forgiveness? You've got some nerve, I'll give you that."

Benedict had rehearsed this conversation in her head the whole way over, fully aware that Cynthia wasn't likely to forgive her so easily. But being stonewalled so many times in such a biting tone was starting to wear down her patience.

"Do you have to talk to me like this?"

Cynthia gave a cold chuckle, her words sharp as ever. "Is this too polite for you? Then feel free to leave."

Benedict fell silent for a moment, forcing herself not to let Cynthia's attitude get under her skin. She kept her voice low and steady.

Cynthia's eyes were flat, her expression unreadable. "There's nothing left to talk about between us. As for the company, I'll be there tomorrow to handle it."

Benedict's composure cracked. "Cynthia, how can you say there's nothing to talk about? Are you really set on breaking up with me for good? Don't do this. We've been together for seven years, and I know you don't want to throw all that away any more than I do."

Cynthia's lips curled into a bitter smile. "Don't flatter yourself. I'm not like you."

She could let go—easily.

Benedict's desperation grew. "Cynthia, Giselle already lost the baby, and my mother's gone back to the countryside. She swore she'll never show up in front of you again. Can't we just go back to how things were—"

As Benedict launched into her speech, the front door swung open.

The moment she saw Cynthia standing there, hope flickered in her eyes. She even made herself tear up, hoping to sound sincere.

"These past few weeks, I've missed you so—"
