Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 211
It actually drew a laugh out of him.
He glanced down at her wrist, a flicker of regret in his eyes before he slowly let go. "Since you took the time to explain, I have no reason to be petty."
In the past, Raelynn wouldn't have given him a single excuse; she probably would have told him to get the hell out.
She shot him a weird look.
Psycho.
What was he so happy about all of a sudden?
"Even though you stood me up," Luke Sterling looked down at her, rubbing the hand that had just held her wrist, "I'm still investing in the project."
This time, Raelynn was the one caught off guard.
She thought Luke would put on airs or fly into a rage and back out.
"To be honest, I don't think your project is highly feasible right now. There are too many technical barriers, but..."
Luke's gaze turned somber. "My mother died because her tumor was in an incredibly dangerous spot. Surgery wasn't even an option. If there really is a robot that can overcome those surgical hurdles, why not?"
It was R&D that would benefit patients.
Even if it was throwing money down the drain, he was willing to try.
Raelynn couldn't help but see Luke in a new light.
"Looking at me like that, I'll start thinking you've fallen in love with me." Luke pulled a contract from behind his back and handed it to her. "Get a divorce first, then. I don't do the 'other man' thing."
Raelynn was speechless.
Definitely a psycho.
She took the contract and glanced at his signature on the last page.
"Mr. Sterling, you'll thank yourself for this decision in the future." Raelynn believed in investment freedom and respected everyone's choices. She waved the contract at him, turned, and walked away.
Luke raised an eyebrow as he watched her leave.
This project better succeed.
If it did...
He stared at her retreating figure, then raised his hand, looking at the palm that had held hers.
His predatory gaze intensified.
-
It was her way of making a clean break from the past.
Stepping out of the store, Raelynn received a call from Chloe Hudson.
She drove straight to NexusMind Technologies.
Chloe was already there. When she saw Raelynn, she patted her laptop and flashed a wide, wicked grin. "I pulled an all-nighter going through it frame by frame, and I finally found the evidence."
When she heard they were trying to pin a fatal medical error on Raelynn, her blood had run cold.
It was too sinister.
If the frame job succeeded, Raelynn wouldn't just lose her chance at being credited on the project—her entire career would be over.
In the medical field, that kind of 'mistake' was a death sentence.
"What did you find?" Raelynn walked over.
Preston signaled Chloe to play the video.
As Raelynn watched the crucial footage, a cold sharpness filled her eyes.
She stood up and looked at Preston. "Notify Covenant Medical. It's time to fight back."

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!...
