Seeing this, Leo quickly chimed in. "Careful, Seb is still injured. Take it easy."
When he rushed over today, he had heard from the doctor that the situation had been pretty critical.
So, seeing her about to make a sudden move, he felt the need to issue a warning.
Forced to stop, Seraphina pulled back.
Though a bit disappointed, she was thrilled that the one thing she had been obsessing over was finally resolved.
If Sebastian said it would happen, it was an absolute certainty.
Leo couldn't help but marvel. "Man, when you step in, there's nothing that can't be fixed. Digi-Medica's database has never been opened up for external collaboration before. The rights have always been locked down by NexusMind."
The thought of it brought a brilliant smile to Seraphina's face.
With that kind of backing, her product's popularity would skyrocket.
She would use Faye's massive database to achieve incredible success.
When that time came... how could the Croix family possibly reject her?
It would undoubtedly tear down the barriers to her joining their family.
Faye's database was unimaginably vast and profound. She had always wanted to meet the creator in person, but Preston Moreno had refused to make the introduction. Getting a look at the Digi-Medica database first was a solid alternative.

Raelynn returned to NexusMind Technologies.
She discussed the matter with Preston.
"There's no point wasting time fighting them on this," she said. "We aren't giving her the rights for free. They still have to pay the licensing fees in full, and we remain in control."
It was the truth.
Her previous reluctance had admittedly been fueled partly by personal grievances.
But you couldn't let petty grudges hold you back from doing big things.
They were just collaborating and paying for usage. The copyright would forever belong to her.
Preston had no objections. "As long as you, the creator, agree, I'm perfectly fine with it."
"Millions of dollars, billed annually, with a five-year contract requiring the first three years paid upfront. Isn't this a bit steep?"
Her project hadn't even officially launched yet, and she was already looking at a massive financial hemorrhage.
Preston offered a polite smile. "You know as well as I do that this is the first time Faye has ever licensed these rights. If your project succeeds, this will be your biggest selling point. Who in the medical tech industry doesn't respect Faye's work?"
That was a fact Seraphina couldn't deny, and the exact reason she had been so desperate for this partnership.
But...
She pointed at a specific clause. "If our project fails due to unforeseen circumstances or force majeure, the licensing fees are non-refundable?"
Raelynn strolled over, asking in a slow, casual tone, "Don't you have confidence in your own project?"
Seraphina had been about to argue the point, but Raelynn's interruption caught her off guard. She let out a cold scoff. "Ms. Ortiz, if you don't understand business matters, there's no need to interrupt us."
Raelynn took a seat, leaning back against the sofa and crossing her legs. "If you lack confidence, you can refuse to sign. There are plenty of people lining up for these rights. We aren't going to be your safety net if you fail. NexusMind requires absolute competence to support the debut of this database. The risk is entirely yours to bear."
Seraphina's gaze turned icy.
With Raelynn sitting right there, even if she wanted to carefully negotiate the terms, she couldn't do it without losing face.

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!...
