Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 322

Preston completely understood Seraphina's angle now.

Rushing over here so quickly—her ulterior motives were glaringly obvious.

Raelynn let out a soft scoff. "NexusMind is NexusMind, and the database is the database. What makes you think Faye is running a charity for you?"

Seraphina found this highly amusing. "Does this have anything to do with you, Raelynn?"

It wasn't Raelynn's place to speak.

Standing up, she shot Preston a look of mock pity. "Mr. Moreno, you understand how it is. I lead a massive team. I can't just operate on personal favors, or my people won't respect me. I'll be straight with you: my team genuinely wants to renegotiate the licensing fee. If we can't come to an agreement, we have to protect our own interests. Which means we'll be forced to... terminate the contract."

Raelynn narrowed her eyes.

That was actually a bit surprising.

She knew exactly how desperately Seraphina needed her database.

And she was threatening to cancel the contract over a fabricated scandal?

Preston waited for her to finish.

Seraphina smoothed her dress. "We signed an agreement stating that in the event of a breach, the licensing fee is non-refundable. Fortunately, I've only paid for the first year. Since NexusMind will be busy handling its own PR nightmare, consider that money a little token of my goodwill. I'm sure we'll work together again in the future."

She made it sound so incredibly generous.

Raelynn could see right through it; Seraphina had come here today fully intending to terminate the contract.

The aggressive demand for a discount had just been a smokescreen.

Preston glanced at Raelynn. Seeing her completely unfazed, he finally spoke. "Then I suppose it wasn't meant to be. Don't worry, Ms. Vance. NexusMind doesn't force anyone into business."

Seraphina smiled at that. "I'm glad you understand."

"Chuck, please see our guest out," Preston said, shutting down any further small talk.

Seraphina was in high spirits. On her way out, she glanced at Raelynn as if suddenly remembering something. "Sunday is the anniversary of Grandpa's passing. Are you coming? Sebastian and I will be arriving a bit late."

Raelynn hadn't anticipated that curveball.

As far as she was concerned, Silas Vance had nothing to do with her anymore, let alone some memorial for a grandfather. Any familial bond had been severed long ago. Besides, she now knew a hidden truth—she wasn't biologically related to either family.
