Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 247

Dr. Hayes narrowed her eyes and glanced at Seraphina.

She noted how the young woman had plastered herself to Sebastian's side. Even without any overt displays of affection, the physical proximity was a deliberate, calculated move to broadcast their intimate connection.

Shooting Sebastian an indecipherable look, Dr. Hayes asked bluntly, "Did you get a divorce?"

As Julian's grandmother, she was well aware of Sebastian's marital status.

However, the young Mrs. Croix had been famously reclusive, and since Dr. Hayes despised The Croix Family, she had never bothered to keep tabs on the situation.

Now, faced with this woman, Dr. Hayes's instincts flared. Having dealt with every type of schemer in her long life, she knew exactly what she was looking at. A woman who blatantly interrupted someone else with such transparent motives was decidedly not his elusive wife.

At Dr. Hayes's shocking question.

Julian and Leo exchanged panicked looks.

The color drained from their faces.

Eavesdroppers nearby practically broke their necks trying to listen in.

Divorce?

With who?

Wasn't Mr. Croix single?

Seraphina's smile froze entirely.

She had never anticipated such a savage, humiliating question.

Especially not in front of the entire industry!

Raelynn stayed silent. Some messes were spectacular enough without her having to lift a finger.

Sebastian, conversely.

Didn't even bat an eyelash. Exuding absolute calm, he merely curled his lip. "You must be joking."

His response.

Almost made Raelynn laugh out loud.

It was a masterclass in manipulation—a perfectly evasive answer.

To the clueless bystanders, it sounded like he was denying the divorce rumor entirely. To Dr. Hayes, it implied his marriage was perfectly intact. He was playing with the information gap.
