Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 17

Instead of obsessing over whether her husband was coming home. Raelynn decided she was better off figuring out how to build her career and give little Lily a better life.

Today, Preston was attending a panel on AI in healthcare.

Raelynn figured she'd drop by and check it out.

After seeing Chloe off, Raelynn texted Preston to say she was waiting nearby.

Suddenly, a massive commotion erupted near the entrance of the building ahead.

Confused, Raelynn looked up from her phone.

She saw Seraphina emerging from the lobby, surrounded by an entourage.

Reporters had her completely mobbed.

It was a scene of absolute stardom, with everyone treating her like royalty.

Seraphina smiled with impeccable poise. "Please be careful, everyone. Don't push. I'm happy to answer a few questions."

As people walked past Raelynn, she heard their voices filled with awe and admiration.

"This Ms. Vance is incredible. She's only 27, and she's already involved in developing new drugs for chronic illnesses. A top-tier talent in both natural and modern medicine—her future is limitless."

"I heard her TV interview slots are booked solid until next year. Because she's so pretty, her live streams have blown up, too. She has quite a fanbase."

"And rumor has it," someone whispered, dropping their voice into gossip mode, "Ms. Vance is secretly married into the Croix family! No one knows which heir she married, but talk about a perfect life."

The crowd let out a collective gasp of amazement.

Raelynn found it hilarious.

Who would have thought that a homewrecker who forced her way into someone else's marriage would be worshipped like a saint?

The crowd kept growing.

Standing on the sidelines, Raelynn was bumped by the surging mass of people.

Her instinct was to back away.

Suddenly, someone shoved her.

She stumbled backward, losing her balance.

A firm hand caught her wrist, holding her steady.

She looked up, right into Sebastian's deep, commanding eyes.

The intense heat from his palm seemed to seep straight into her skin.

In the two seconds Raelynn stood there in a daze, Seraphina's voice rang out from nearby. "Sebastian?"

Raelynn looked over at her.

How was she any different from those desperate gold diggers trying to sleep their way to the top?

He didn't say it out loud.

But his mocking look said it all.

Raelynn realized Leo thought she had done it on purpose.

She looked down and brushed off the spot where Sebastian had grabbed her. "I'm Sebastian's first wife; I was his first everything. If Seraphina can't handle him making basic physical contact with me, they should just go ahead and castrate him. Then she won't have to worry about it."

Leo's mocking grin instantly vanished.

He stared at Raelynn's beautiful face in absolute shock.

He couldn't believe those words had just come out of her mouth.

Was he hallucinating?

Raelynn couldn't be bothered with him and turned to walk away.

But because of Sebastian's arrival, the crowd was thickening.

People were gasping in shock.

"The CEO of Croix Holdings? Could Ms. Vance actually be the rumored Mrs. Croix?"
