Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 229

Coercion, bribery, and blackmail—Matilda used every trick in the book.

Leaving absolutely zero room for refusal.

In a powerful dynasty like the Croix family, every elder wore a mask of charity over a heart of cold-blooded tyranny.

Defying them would only lead to utter ruin.

Raelynn was escorted out of the estate.

The sun felt blindingly bright, burning her eyes.

She got into her car.

Her chest heaved heavily.

This entire catastrophe had caught her completely off guard.

Shredding all her perfectly laid plans and hopes for the future.

The certificate was the sole legal proof of her divorce, the very bottleneck choking off her ability to transfer Lily's residency back into her name.

The divorce seemed final, but if she couldn't get her hands on that document, it could be annulled at any moment.

She had absolutely zero control over the situation!

If it was annulled, every ounce of her effort, including the Custody Waiver Agreement, would become entirely void.

Her grip on Lily's custody was more precarious than ever.

A sudden surge of burning hatred for Sebastian's absence flared in Raelynn's chest.

If he had taken finalizing their divorce seriously today, there was no way Matilda could have intercepted the paperwork.

She forced herself to calm down and formulate a counter-strategy.

No matter what it took, she had to preserve the finality of their divorce.

During this time, Chloe called.

Raelynn immediately turned the car around and drove to Chloe's house.

"So are you officially divorced or not?" Chloe asked in sheer disbelief.

Raelynn looked pale and exhausted. "I doubt a divorce certificate can just be annulled at any given time. I'm guessing there's a strict time limit. If I can safely run down the clock, it will be permanent. Once it can't be annulled anymore, holding it hostage will be useless, and Matilda will have to hand it over."

She based her guess entirely on standard legal regulations.

Even with a VIP channel, they couldn't possibly exploit loopholes without any limits.

"That makes sense. Thank god you have a good head on your shoulders. The Matriarch is probably just bluffing to make you think she can cancel it whenever she wants." Chloe strongly agreed with Raelynn's theory.

However, during this limited timeframe...

Raelynn would be walking on extremely thin ice.
