Called Off the Wedding, Left Him Bankrupt novel Chapter 90

"Would sending you money right now make you happy?"

Cynthia let out a soft "mm," then shot back, "Why wouldn't it?"

Benedict gritted his teeth. "I'll transfer it to you now!"

"Alright," Cynthia replied. "Just remember to add a note: voluntary gift."

Benedict ended the call with a grim expression.

He opened his banking app, transferred a hefty sum to Cynthia, and carefully added the note: voluntary gift. Afterward, he took a screenshot and sent it to her.

Cynthia had barely set down her phone when a text message buzzed in.

She picked it up and checked the notification.

$200,000 had landed in her account.

A small smile played at the corners of her lips, her eyes relaxing. Now she had enough to cover the car repairs—and even managed to save a tidy sum.

A moment later, Benedict's screenshot arrived.

Cynthia tapped open the chat and, in surprisingly good spirits, sent him a cheerful "thanks" sticker in reply.

On the other end, Benedict stared at her message, finally letting out a breath he'd been holding. He typed quickly:

[I'm coming to see you now.]

Cynthia's eyes lingered on the chat window. Her good mood vanished in a heartbeat.

[Actually, I'd rather wait and see you at the wedding the day after tomorrow.]

Benedict: [What, you want to play the whole "absence makes the heart grow fonder" game before we tie the knot?]

Cynthia: [Don't you?]

Benedict: [Of course I do. I dream about the moment you walk down the aisle in the dress I designed for you, becoming my wife. Cyndi, I really do love you.]

Cynthia's lips curled into a faint, icy smirk.
