Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 217

The chef turned his head and spotted Cynthia, greeting her with a gentle smile.

“Good morning, Miss Tremaine.”

Cynthia blinked, slightly startled. “Good morning,” she replied, her tone unsure.

She offered an awkward smile, racking her brain for where she might have met this man before. His face was vaguely familiar, but the memory eluded her.

The chef continued, “Dominic is in his study.”

“Thank you.” Cynthia nodded politely and quickly stepped out of the kitchen, not wanting to intrude.

Anyone who addressed Dominic by his first name probably knew him fairly well. Maybe she had really met this man before.

Still pondering, Cynthia made her way to the study door and knocked softly.

“Mr. Holloway, I’m here.”

“Come in.” Dominic’s deep voice rumbled from inside.

Cynthia pushed the door open and hesitated for a brief moment. She didn’t bother closing it behind her but walked straight toward Dominic, ready to give her report.

Dominic’s eyes stayed glued to his computer screen; he didn’t spare her so much as a glance, making it impossible to tell if he was even listening.

She pressed on regardless, speaking clearly, then handed over her tablet, placing it in front of him.

“I found several suspicious contracts at the office today. I suspect Benedict is quietly siphoning company assets.”

Only then did Dominic shift his attention, reaching out to take the tablet and scanning the information.

Cynthia leaned in slightly, tapping her finger on a photo of Johnson displayed on the screen.

“I’m planning to start the investigation here.”
