Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 306

Dr. Hayes had never been one to mince words or care about social niceties.

Especially since she had deduced that Seraphina was not his legal wife, her disdain was palpable.

The sweet, docile smile Seraphina had plastered on for Dr. Hayes stiffened slightly.

She didn't understand why Dr. Hayes seemed to have an issue with her.

Even if she wasn't officially married to Sebastian yet, that was between them. Her behavior and professional competence were impeccable. She couldn't fathom when she might have offended the older woman.

She simply couldn't comprehend why Dr. Hayes was publicly snubbing her.

Fortunately.

There weren't many people around.

Sebastian remained entirely composed. He shot a subtle glance at Raelynn, and noting she had no intention of jumping in, he replied in a flat tone, "My wife is busy."

Those four words.

Plunged the area into an eerie, suffocating silence.

Raelynn almost burst out laughing from the sheer audacity of it.

He wasn't denying he had a wife, yet he blatantly refused to acknowledge that Mrs. Croix was standing right next to him.

Seraphina had initially felt a flash of shock and resentment that Sebastian would openly admit to having a wife, but she quickly realized his angle.

Dr. Hayes knew he was married; he couldn't deny it to her face.

So he admitted he had a wife, but he didn't admit it was Raelynn!

She shot Raelynn a look, her eyes brimming with undisguised mockery.

At the end of the day.

Raelynn was the pathetic one!

Standing right there, yet not even worthy of being acknowledged.

Forced to watch helplessly as Seraphina took her place as the woman by Sebastian's side.

Dr. Hayes had zero interest in other people's domestic drama. She simply despised the blatant disrespect. However, she wasn't going to start a war with Sebastian over someone like Seraphina.

She didn't spare Seraphina another glance, turning her warm attention back to Raelynn. "My dear Raelynn, quite a few top-tier researchers are here today. If you're free later, come find me for a chat."

And essentially calling Sebastian...

Sebastian obviously caught the implication.

His bottomless dark eyes locked onto Raelynn's face. He wasn't angry. Instead, a faint, unreadable smirk played at the corner of his lips.

Acting as if she hadn't noticed his reaction at all, Raelynn grabbed Chloe's arm, ready to leave.

Even as she was being dragged away, Chloe craned her neck back toward Seraphina, helpfully translating the insult. "She called you trash."

Even Leo's brow twitched.

He knew Raelynn had never been a pushover, but to speak to Sebastian with such blatant disrespect... Was she truly over him, or was this some new psychological game she was playing?

Given Sebastian's status, he had probably never been insulted like that in his entire life.

Just then.

Julian finished his duties at the front and walked over.

He had no idea what had just transpired, but seeing Raelynn caused a frown to crease his handsome features.
