Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 154

That sound made Professor Finch shoot up from his seat, practically sprinting out to the courtyard in a panic.

It was his Lily!

He had watched Lily grow up.

Ever since she was old enough to understand things, she hardly ever cried unless she was in real physical pain!

Raelynn recognized the voice instantly. Her heart leaped into her throat, and she spun around, ready to dash out. But Preston smoothly caught her wrist, pulling her back.

A silent reminder: Sebastian was right there.

A chill crawled up Raelynn's spine.

She forcibly suppressed her instinct to run to her child.

However, Seraphina noticed their intimate hand-holding and immediately drew her own conclusions. "Ah, I see what's going on. Even Mr. Moreno can't resist a pretty face. Are you here today specifically to beg Professor Finch on Raelynn's behalf?"

The moment she spoke, Raelynn felt a physical wave of nausea, her brows pulling together.

But what she felt first was Sebastian's casual gaze drifting over. His eyes lowered, sweeping over Preston's hand, which was still wrapped around Raelynn's wrist.

He didn't say a word.

"I just wonder if Mr. Moreno would be as generous with her as Seb is with me," Seraphina added with a soft smile. "Ten million dollars isn't a small amount. Investing it in NexusMind's research projects would surely yield a much better return than spending it on her."

She was almost certain that Preston wouldn't pander to Professor Finch and fund a children's charity just to help Raelynn.

A woman like Raelynn was just a plaything to men like him.

Nothing to be taken seriously.

Preston let out a dark chuckle. "The rumors of Mr. Croix being a married man are pretty widespread. So, Ms. Vance is flaunting the money of a married man. You certainly are bold, aren't you? Not afraid of getting sued?"

To be so arrogant right to Raelynn's face!

Who gave her the audacity?

The answer was obvious!

Seraphina flinched at the jab, annoyance flashing in her eyes. What kind of lies had Raelynn been feeding Preston?

Why else would Preston side with Raelynn over a woman of her caliber?

Raelynn pressed her lips together, feeling a pang of genuine worry.

By publicly humiliating Sebastian's sweetheart right to his face, would Preston draw Sebastian's wrath upon himself and NexusMind?

She quietly looked over.

Only to find Sebastian raising his eyelashes at that exact moment, their eyes colliding.

"Instead of bickering, shouldn't we see what happened to Professor Finch?"

His single sentence immediately quelled the brewing argument.
