Faye was an absolute legend in the industry.
If word got out that she was the infamous Faye, she would attract an overwhelming, dangerous amount of attention.
People would dig relentlessly into her background.
And there were certain secrets that couldn't withstand that level of scrutiny.
Right now, keeping Lily a secret was her absolute top priority.
Caution was the only option.
After all, she didn't have the divorce certificate in her hands yet.
For the time being, she would continue operating solely as an ordinary researcher for NexusMind.
Preston nodded in agreement. "Makes sense. A few more weeks won't hurt."
Afterward, Raelynn and Preston spent hours filtering through several rounds of potential investors.
That afternoon.
Raelynn headed to Covenant Medical Center to monitor the clinical trials.
The moment she stepped into the lobby, she ran into Leo Flynn.
Raelynn instantly averted her gaze, treating him as though he were invisible.
Seeing her blatant disregard, a flash of embarrassment crossed Leo's face.
He hadn't realized Raelynn despised him quite this much.
But then he remembered why he was at the hospital today...
"Leo, what are you doing standing around here?"
Seraphina descended the staircase.
Shane's vitals had been abnormal, requiring him to be hospitalized for observation, so she had been at the hospital almost every single day recently.
Leo turned around, spotting Sebastian trailing slightly behind her. He let out a weary sigh. "Have you guys heard about NexusMind's new investment pitch?"
Sebastian lowered his eyes, casually twirling his phone between his fingers, listening silently.
A mocking glint flashed in Seraphina's eyes. "The technical barriers are insurmountable. They're trying to build a highly complex surgical robot that heavily relies on traditional medical theory. The friction between the two disciplines is massive. Unless they have someone who is an absolute god in both traditional medicine and artificial intelligence, they won't be able to synchronize the systems. On top of that, they need to run everything through the Digi-Medica database. You're talking about forcing three completely different factions of scientists to perfectly integrate highly proprietary, conflicting technology. The odds of success are astronomical."
Traditional and Western medicine were fundamentally at odds.
How could NexusMind possibly overcome such colossal technological walls?
She acknowledged NexusMind was a rising star in the tech world.
But this concept? It was nothing but arrogant hot air.
Leo was completely convinced.
"Exactly. Traditional medicine, Western medicine, AI, plus the Digi-Medica database... Those teams will probably rip each other apart over technical disputes before they ever build a prototype. Forget it. I'm not investing. I'll just stall my grandfather for a while so he doesn't tear my head off."
He decided to lie and say he had invested.
Let someone else throw their money into the fire. When the project inevitably imploded and his grandfather asked about it, Leo could reveal he hadn't spent a dime, proving his superior business instincts.

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!...
