Seraphina smiled. "It's good that you're willing to listen to my advice."
Leo Flynn had grown increasingly close to her ever since she saved his grandfather. He took her words to heart.
Sebastian Croix slipped his phone into his pocket and looked up. "Aren't you going to run a risk assessment and check the feasibility report?"
It was a standard procedure before any investment. Let the data do the talking.
Leo shrugged indifferently. "I was originally going to consult Raelynn for some insider info, but she was putting on airs. I don't have to throw my money at NexusMind. Since Sera also said the feasibility is low, it doesn't matter if we pass on it."
He simply didn't believe the project would succeed. If it actually did, it would disrupt the entire industry. Earning a core tech patent could push their market cap into the tens of billions of dollars. But he didn't trust NexusMind to have that kind of capability yet.
Rather than investing in NexusMind, he'd be better off backing Seraphina's smart triage robot later.
Sebastian didn't offer an opinion on that. He simply noted, "NexusMind has already secured tens of millions in their first round of financing. They don't lack investors."
That statement caught both Leo and Seraphina off guard.
That much? It was completely unexpected.
Sebastian looked down to reply to a work message. "Word is already out that Faye will be at the helm. A lot of people are flocking to her name."
This time, the smile faded from Leo's face, replaced by deep thought.
Had he miscalculated?
A flash of surprise crossed Seraphina's eyes. She suddenly remembered that Raelynn Ortiz was currently at NexusMind.
Would Preston Moreno... continue to keep Raelynn in the project just to let her effortlessly rake in the dividends?

When Raelynn arrived, Chloe Hudson's documentary crew was still setting up their cameras.
The shoot was scheduled for another three days. Fortunately, the crew didn't disrupt their normal work routine. It was as if they weren't even there, using either fixed setups or remote recording.
Raelynn spent a few hours at the clinical center.
She received an urgent summons from the traditional medicine ward, asking her to come over and take a look.
She made the trip. It turned out Shane's health indicators had spiked, resulting in severe edema.
Since he was a patient she had taken over, she had to handle the situation properly.
After administering an acupuncture treatment for him, she left the room.
She completely ignored the chubby kid's whining.
She worked overtime until nearly eight o'clock.
Phase I of the clinical trials was almost over, and the project was finally showing promise.
Raelynn walked out, rubbing her stiff neck, ready to head home for the day. Just as she was about to leave, rushed footsteps echoed down the hallway.
Before she could react, someone grabbed her arm tightly and shoved her hard against the wall.

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!...
