Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 181
After all, joining a prominent dynasty like the Croix family was easy; walking away unscathed was an entirely different story.
"This is between Raelynn and me. You don't need to intervene," Sebastian said, completely unbothered.
His nonchalance only darkened Matilda's expression. "If I don't intervene, who will? I'm laying down the law right now. If you insist on divorcing Raelynn, I will never let Seraphina Vance off the hook! Let's see how her insignificant little family survives my wrath!"
Sebastian's brow twitched slightly.
But he remained silent.
Matilda walked over to Raelynn. "Don't worry, Raelynn. My family has wronged you, and I have your back."
Raelynn simply shook her head. "Grandma, I'm the one who wants the divorce. I don't want to live like this anymore. I have no regrets."
The words struck Matilda speechless.
Even Sebastian, lounging on the sofa, glanced over. His eyes were utterly devoid of emotion.
Julian, who had been quiet until now, looked genuinely surprised.
It was hard to believe such absolute detachment had come from Raelynn's mouth. It was almost... comical.
He had witnessed firsthand just how hopelessly devoted she used to be to Sebastian.
Her sudden about-face caught him off guard, and a soft chuckle escaped his lips.
The untimely laughter sounded especially grating in the tense room.
Julian quickly shrugged. "Sorry. Please, continue."
Raelynn shot him a look. She knew exactly what Julian was thinking—he didn't believe she was serious.
But she no longer cared about what anyone thought.
Matilda opened her mouth to speak.
Finally, she let out an exhausted sigh. "I know you've been wronged, sweetheart. But for a family like ours, divorce is like tearing our lives apart. The ripple effects are catastrophic. If you're truly dead set on this..."
She understood the underlying threat perfectly. The Croix family hadn't kicked her out despite her failure to produce an heir over the last seven years—she was supposed to view that as an act of immense grace, and refusing now would make her an ungrateful wretch.
Matilda appeared to be fighting for Raelynn's rights, but in reality, she was trapping her.
She made it seem like she was taking Raelynn's side by barring Seraphina and any illegitimate children from the family.
But in truth, she was using the past seven years of childlessness as leverage, demanding a baby as compensation for supposedly wasting Sebastian's time.
Raelynn knew the ruthless tactics of the Croix family all too well.
This wasn't something she could simply fix by saying no.
With her lips pressed into a thin line, she looked at Sebastian, who hadn't spoken a word in her defense.
She prayed he would crush Matilda's delusions.
Sensing her gaze, Sebastian met her eyes, locking onto her for two heavy seconds.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
