Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 165

After all, she was the only witness.

If things escalated and the Croix family accused her of standing idly by, it might complicate her divorce proceedings. That wouldn't be worth it.

Seraphina Vance's face drained of color.

She hadn't expected Brenda Polk to be so fiercely protective of her worthless son.

"Sebastian won't let you get away with treating me like this, you—"

Those words completely enraged Brenda.

She shoved Seraphina hard. "You little bitch, are you threatening me?"

Seeing Seraphina lose her footing from the shove and stumble backward, Raelynn Ortiz's expression shifted. She instinctively reached out to grab her.

But it was too late.

Seraphina was wearing high heels.

She missed the step.

And plummeted backward.

A heavy, sickening thud echoed through the stairwell.

Brenda froze, staring at her own hands in panic.

Then she whipped her head toward Raelynn.

Raelynn looked down at the bottom of the stairs, where Seraphina lay motionless, paralyzed by pain.

Her expression darkened.

She turned to call for help.

But just as she turned, she saw Sebastian Croix striding toward them. His pace was urgent, his dark eyes as cold and unforgiving as glacial ice. As he passed Raelynn,

His shoulder brushed against hers.

The brief contact sent a chill over her skin.

But he didn't slow his stride for even a second.

Raelynn watched helplessly as he bounded down the stairs, scooped Seraphina into his arms, and rushed her to the hospital...

The entire scene unfolded with blinding speed.

When Brenda finally snapped out of her daze, sheer terror washed over her face. She glared viciously at Raelynn. "Why didn't you stop me?"

Raelynn frowned. "Would you have even listened?"

Knowing she couldn't out-argue Raelynn, Brenda frantically hurried down the stairs after them.
