Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 166

In that moment, Raelynn couldn't help but think.

—Finally, some peace and quiet.

She shook her head.

She changed into her sterile lab coat and got to work.

Without Seraphina there, the team from Kingsford University had no one to fawn over, so they quietly focused on their experiments.

Raelynn had almost completed her preparations.

After extracting the active compounds, she had proceeded with the animal trials.

So far, everything was stable.

However...

By the third day, Seraphina still hadn't shown up.

And today was the final deadline she had given her.

If Seraphina couldn't deliver satisfactory results, Raelynn had every right to kick her off the project.

"Raelynn, I can't get in touch with Ms. Vance, and the Kingsford team is being totally evasive," Rina said, walking in with a frustrated pout.

Every day of delay brought another day of uncertainty.

It would also affect the publication credits for everyone on the team once the clinical trials succeeded.

Who wouldn't be anxious?

"We're supposed to start the clinical trials with our medical partners tomorrow. If we don't hear from Ms. Vance, how are we supposed to coordinate with them?"

Launching a product required coordinating with multiple departments, not just the researchers. Every single step had to be flawless.

But without Seraphina's signature, Kingsford University had to wait for her return.

Raelynn lowered her eyes, calmly sealing the vial of purified serum. Her tone was steady. "Tell the medical team that the clinical trials will proceed as scheduled. Have Mr. Moreno handle the Kingsford side."

If Seraphina didn't show up to sign the paperwork, Kingsford couldn't authorize the next phase.

But an entire team couldn't just sit around waiting for one person.

Whether she was injured or not, failing to manage her responsibilities and playing dead was purely a lack of professional accountability. She was holding everyone hostage.

It was time to deal with Seraphina.

That afternoon.

No one dared to cross him.

Raelynn patted Chloe's shoulder comfortingly. "Sure."

***

Her main reason for accompanying Chloe to the hospital,

was to see for herself whether Seraphina was truly incapacitated.

That way, she could handle the project dismissal fairly and objectively.

Seraphina had been admitted to the partner medical facility.

When Raelynn and Chloe arrived, they found Leo Flynn and Julian already in the private room visiting her.

The moment they walked in, Raelynn spotted Sebastian standing by the window, one hand casually tucked into his pocket.

His dark suit vest hugged his lean torso, emphasizing his broad shoulders and commanding posture. Hearing the door open, he tilted his chin and looked over. His gaze was unreadable.

Seraphina, who had been laughing and chatting with Leo, dropped her smile the second she saw Raelynn. "What are you doing here?"

Chloe answered for her. "Since the show is still filming, we figured we should do the bare minimum and show some courtesy."
