Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 109

Preston's words drew everyone's attention entirely to Sebastian.

Raelynn, however, cast a glance at Preston.

She understood his intention.

He was protecting her.

He was preventing her from becoming the target of the crowd and stopping her from angering Sebastian by exposing his identity herself.

He threw the grenade back to the person responsible for this mess in the first place.

As for how Sebastian would respond...

"Do I need to pay attention to something like that?"

The man's cold, flat voice lacked any inflection, yet it was interpreted differently by everyone in the room.

A few male researchers exchanged glances and immediately understood. "That's true. With Mr. Croix's status, why would he care about people who have nothing to do with him?"

But Raelynn understood.

By denying his relationship with her, Sebastian was actively severing any chance she had to expose Seraphina. He was also declaring that he was the man in question, and he owed no one an explanation.

He always spoke flawlessly.

His response made it clear to the crowd that he had zero interest in the topic, and they tactfully steered the conversation elsewhere.

The subject was officially dead.

Preston gave Raelynn a sympathetic look.

Even Raelynn had to sigh at her own expense.

The sheer scale of the betrayal she was enduring was a tragic spectacle.

By now, she fully understood why Sebastian had invited her to spend the holidays with the Croix family, and why he had dropped so much money to drag the entire R&D team all the way to Southridge.

It was because he wanted to spend the holidays with Seraphina. They were deeply in love and couldn't bear to be apart.

He had wanted to drag Raelynn here. When she refused, he orchestrated a massive detour, moving the whole team so she had no choice but to show up voluntarily.

He needed her as a human shield to pacify Matilda while he secretly played house with Seraphina.

Clearly.

She had been completely used by him.

Raelynn looked down, opening her hands to look at the deep, blood-red crescent moons her fingernails had dug into her palms.

She couldn't help but laugh at the irony.

A soon-to-be ex-wife as cooperative as her was truly one of a kind.

Shouldn't he be paying her for this level of service?

Seraphina turned to Preston, gracefully changing the topic. "Mr. Moreno, I'm very interested in meeting Faye, the developer of Digi-Medica, to have an in-depth discussion. Could you introduce us?"

The moment she spoke, a few people's eyes lit up.

"I studied the Digi-Medica traditional medicine database with my professor, and it's incredibly vast. How much was Faye involved? Did she create those famous formulas alongside top medical experts?"

Dozens of eyes in the large conference room looked eagerly at Preston.

If they only knew that Raelynn was Faye, that she majored in Artificial Intelligence in college, and that she was trained by the absolute master of the field.

She merged traditional medicine with AI-driven robotics, ensuring ancient practices wouldn't be drowned out by the modern age.

Moreover, after the holidays, Raelynn would be leading the development of AI acupuncture robots.

If they knew the truth, wouldn't their heads explode?

A person's talent could be terrifyingly immense.

The meeting proceeded smoothly.

The joint R&D team began discussing targeted therapy models.

They analyzed the twenty-year history of cardiovascular treatments.

Raelynn had mastered this subject as a major thesis years ago. She just listened quietly to their ideas without chiming in.

Besides, her cramps were excruciating.

Ever since the complications during Lily's birth, her body had never fully recovered.

When the pain hit, it was paralyzing.

She just wanted to curl up in a ball.

As her mind wandered.

She heard a voice from across the table.

"Sebastian bought fruit tea for everyone. Raelynn, be a dear and pass them out."
