Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 141

Raelynn scanned the live comments on the broadcast. It was true—a massive wave of viewers was flooding the screen with compliments about her looks. She just smiled and let it go. By afternoon, her phone started buzzing incessantly. Glancing at the screen, she was surprised to see messages from the wealthy playboys in Sebastian's inner circle—guys she practically never spoke to.

[Mrs. Croix, you have to come to Jenna's baby celebration. It won't be a real party without you.]

She stared at the message, taken aback that they would invite her. Then, her phone vibrated again. It was a direct iMessage from Jenna.

[Lynnie, I'm finally recovered from the birth! The baby's celebration is today at The Starlight Grand Hotel. You absolutely have to come.]

Jenna was the only woman in that elite crowd who had ever met Raelynn in person and genuinely hit it off with her. The rest of the socialites she had added online were little more than digital strangers. Sebastian never brought her to his social gatherings, so none of his friends actually knew what his wife looked like. Jenna was the sole exception, thanks to a chance encounter.

Raelynn really liked Jenna, considering her a good friend. After a moment of thought, she replied: [Sounds great. I'll be there.]

The baby celebration was a lavish affair. Raelynn took her time picking out a beautiful gift for the newborn, then stopped by The Compounding Lab at NexusMind to grind a custom, baby-safe herbal powder designed to protect delicate skin and ward off mosquitoes. To avoid the evening rush hour traffic, she took the subway directly to the venue.

Stepping into The Starlight Grand Hotel, she immediately realized the sheer scale of the event. The guest list spanned every major industry, with attendees divided into exclusive VIP zones. Raelynn navigated her way toward the private lounge area. Just as she approached, she overheard a group of men chatting over drinks.

"Man, look at my stupid memory," one of them groaned, dragging a hand down his face. "I sent the iMessage to the wrong person. I actually invited Raelynn Ortiz. You don't think she's seriously going to show up, do you?"

Raelynn froze in her tracks, remaining perfectly still.

Another guy laughed, slapping his buddy's shoulder. "Are you out of your mind? When has Mr. Croix ever brought his so-called wife to a public event? How do you even mess up calling the wrong woman 'Mrs. Croix'?"

"Am I going to be the bad guy tonight? Sebastian is bringing Ms. Vance. If Raelynn actually shows up and makes a scene, how am I supposed to explain that to Seraphina? I can't guarantee Raelynn won't let her jealousy get the better of her and try to start a catfight."

"Jenna, come over here and meet Ms. Vance! We finally get to see her in person," one of the men called out, interrupting her.

Sebastian's gaze drifted over lazily, locking onto Raelynn for a few heavy seconds. Raelynn could read the subtle shift in his eyes. He was clearly surprised to see her and distinctly displeased by her presence. Beside him, Seraphina's perfectly sculpted brows knit together in a discreet frown.

*What is Raelynn doing here?* Seraphina thought. *Is this really a place she belongs?*

The other men finally noticed the stunning woman standing next to Jenna. Their eyes widened in clear appreciation. "Jenna, who's your gorgeous friend?"

Jenna used to believe in the sanctity of true love, but years of marriage in this elite circle had opened her eyes. She had developed a profound disgust for homewreckers. Glancing dismissively at Seraphina, she ignored the men's question and looked straight at Sebastian.

"Mr. Croix, aren't you going to introduce us?" Jenna asked, her tone dripping with mock curiosity. "Who is this woman on your arm? I don't believe we've met."
