Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 214
Those words hit Seraphina right where it hurt the most.
All the color drained from her lips in an instant.
Raelynn turned and walked away.
If she had harbored any doubts about Seraphina's capability for such ruthlessness before, she was certain now.
Seraphina was far more cold-blooded than she had imagined.
She was willing to sacrifice everything for her own ambition.
The upcoming audits of the clinical drug inventory, the theft of NexusMind's classified formulas, the medical incident at Covenant, and the subsequent defamation of the hospital's reputation...
When added up, the charges against Seraphina were severe.
It would be a lengthy legal battle.
But her fate was sealed.
The next morning, Raelynn woke up and texted a quick 'good morning' to Lily.
Then, Preston called.
"Come to the office. Sebastian Croix is here."
Raelynn's heart tightened suddenly.
It wasn't exactly a surprise, but it still...
Left a bitter taste in her mouth.
She got ready quickly.
When she arrived at Preston's office, she saw Sebastian sitting elegantly on the sofa.
His suit jacket was unbuttoned, the dark vest clinging to his lean torso. At the sound of her footsteps, he slowly lifted his gaze and met her eyes.
Preston spoke up. "Raelynn is the victim here. Mr. Croix, if you're here to plead for Ms. Vance, you should talk to her."
Raelynn knew exactly what Preston was doing.
He was intentionally forcing Sebastian to lower his head to her.
Sebastian didn't seem fazed. He simply adjusted his posture. "Name your terms for NexusMind to drop the lawsuit."
Raelynn scoffed.
He really didn't waste any time on pleasantries.
"You're very generous, Mr. Croix. Defending a woman who would stab her own flesh and blood in the back. You hold her so tight," she retorted sarcastically.
Was this true love?
Even knowing she was toxic, he was perfectly happy to clean up her mess.
Loving every part of her, even the absolute worst parts.
What a profound, ocean-deep devotion.
Sebastian tilted his chin up, completely ignoring her blatant sarcasm. "If you drop the case and let this go, I'll invest a billion dollars into NexusMind's financing round."
And to give up all oversight on the R&D process...
Wasn't he basically handing all the investor's power over to NexusMind?
If word of this contract got out, the entire industry would lose their minds.
There was no such thing as 'charity' in the investment world.
Raelynn could almost hear her own heartbeat pounding in her chest.
Sebastian's sincerity was bulletproof.
His devotion to Seraphina was undeniable.
Preston couldn't help but look at Raelynn.
This was an absolute victory for NexusMind.
It didn't just solve their financing crisis; it obliterated it.
The only casualty...
Was Raelynn's heart.
She had to sit there and watch Sebastian throw his entire weight behind another woman.
A long silence stretched across the room.
Raelynn finally looked at him. "You need to understand, this isn't just about NexusMind. Covenant Medical was dragged into this too. How do you plan to handle them, Mr. Croix?"

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!...
