Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 156

That unnervingly calm, almost ruthless question completely shattered Raelynn's breath.

A short, uncontrollable laugh escaped her lips.

So now she was the wicked villain? Slapping the two of them back-to-back.

And they were the tragic star-crossed lovers?

Her chest heaved, her throat tightening until oxygen felt scarce. A ringing echoed in her ears as she clutched her still-numb hand, meeting the man's profound gaze.

The warm courtyard lights cascaded over him.

Yet, she felt chilled to the bone.

"Why don't you hit me back for her?" Raelynn wasn't wearing a coat, and the cold wind made the end of her sentence tremble slightly, but the mockery in her eyes was entirely undisguised.

She was genuinely curious.

Just how far would Sebastian go for his mistress? How ugly was he willing to make things with her?

If the roles were reversed and Seraphina had slapped her today, he would probably be worrying about Seraphina hurting her hand!

Sebastian stared deeply at her stark white face, ignoring her challenge. "Why are you so angry? Raelynn, there's a reason for everything you do, isn't there?"

He didn't even entertain her taunt about hitting her back.

Instead, he struck right at her core with terrifying precision.

It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over Raelynn. She hated how Sebastian could always laser in on the most crucial detail.

After all, from their perspective, she was just an outsider to Professor Finch's family. Yet here she was, absolutely furious over their household matters...

"Seb? Are you okay?" Seraphina, safe behind his back, finally snapped out of her daze. Forgetting her own swollen cheek, she looked up at him in a panic.

Sebastian's gaze briefly swept over Raelynn as he reassured the woman behind him, "I'm fine."

Raelynn watched the scene unfold.

She really did look like the evil antagonist trying to tear apart true love. Even though she was legally married to him, it somehow felt like she was the one in the wrong.

Seraphina finally turned a glacial glare toward Raelynn. "Are you insane? You actually raised a hand against Seb? Do you even have an ounce of decency? Based on your psychotic behavior today, we have every right to press charges!"

"We?"

Raelynn echoed the word slowly. "Under what title? The mistress? The side piece? The homewrecker?"

Her choice of words was deliberately degrading.

Seraphina's face cycled through several shades of red and white. Even though she hated Raelynn's unhinged hostility, they were still at Professor Finch's house. She couldn't afford to get dragged into a screaming match here and let Raelynn further ruin her image in front of the old man.
