Raelynn stared at Blanche, who was putting on a perfectly helpless act.
This woman had destroyed her mother's marriage, driven Raelynn out of her childhood home, and left her to fend for herself for years. Meanwhile, she and her daughter waltzed into her home, soaking up the wealth and luxury. And now... she had the nerve to stand here and advise Raelynn to hand over her husband.
Raelynn's lips curled up slightly, her voice chillingly precise. "Did Sebastian ask you two to come here and demand a title for her?"
Seraphina looked down her nose at Raelynn. "There are things Sebastian obviously can't say out loud. Did you expect him to literally tell you to pack your bags and get out of the Croix estate?"
"Let's just keep this between us and handle it quietly," Blanche added, her face a mask of sincerity. "Once you're divorced, no one will even know you were married for seven years. Keeping it a secret that you slept with a man for that long will make it easier for you to remarry. We're doing this for your own good."
Looking at Blanche's earnest expression, Raelynn felt violently disgusted.
It was the pinnacle of sheer hypocrisy.
She let out a short laugh, though her eyes remained entirely devoid of warmth. "If you two want my secondhand trash so badly, you're going to have to beg for it. Then maybe I'll consider handing him over."
Seraphina's face drained of color.
She couldn't believe Raelynn had the audacity to say something so insulting.
Blanche's sickeningly sweet facade finally cracked. "Raelynn, you are completely out of your mind!"
Raelynn couldn't be bothered to argue.
Wasting her energy on garbage people was no different than wrestling with a ghost.
Ignoring their furious glares, she turned on her heel and walked away.
Chloe had just wrapped up the bulk of her work.
When Raelynn found her, she was still in high spirits. "Thank God Sebastian had some emergency. Seraphina almost got exactly what she wanted. She actually tried to use this broadcast to mark her territory? Delusional!"
Dragging Sebastian onto live television with her?
People in their field spent their lives quietly toiling away in laboratories, working day and night to develop life-saving medicine. It was good that the public would finally see their efforts.
After Chloe dropped her back at NexusMind, Raelynn headed straight to the lab.
Even though Kingsford University had stalled the extraction progress, she had other work to do.
That wasn't her only project. Between the acupuncture micro-surgery robotics they were launching early next year and the neurological drugs she had been researching for years, she had plenty to keep her busy.
During the second live broadcast, Raelynn appeared as one of the featured guests.
Chloe deliberately gave her maximum screen time and plenty of opportunities to speak.
Raelynn handled it with effortless grace, completely unfazed by the cameras.
When the broadcast ended, Chloe ran up to her, practically bouncing. "You belong on the big screen! You looked absolutely stunning! The live comments were going crazy, saying you looked better than A-list celebrities. When the documentary drops, Seraphina won't even be able to show her face!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
