Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 324
Raelynn's footsteps faltered.
She stared at the message, bewildered.
She immediately dialed his number.
Whatever he was doing on the other end, Preston didn't pick up.
Raelynn quickly texted back: *What happened? Is it serious?*
While waiting for a reply, Raelynn watched the hotel's hospitality managers greeting a stream of guests, all bearing ridiculously expensive gifts.
Some were extravagant tributes for the Croix family's anniversary, while others were personal birthday presents for Sebastian.
Everyone was playing the high-society game to perfection.
Desperately trying to score brownie points with the undisputed heir to the Croix empire.
Raelynn had actually thought about this before she came.
In the past, she had organized Sebastian's birthdays herself, a reflection of a devoted wife's duty and profound love. Now, she had successfully removed herself from the equation. She was like a stranger, feeling absolutely nothing. She wasn't going to expend an ounce of effort on him, not even for appearances.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Preston's reply.
Preston: *I'll explain when I get there. I'm already on my way to the gala.*
Raelynn decided not to press further.
She walked through the doors and headed straight for the guest registry.
Every arriving guest was required to sign in.
"Ms. Ortiz, correct? And which company or family are you representing tonight?" the reception manager asked politely.
Raelynn understood the confusion. Her status as Sebastian's wife had been kept a secret for seven years; stepping into a place like this made her look like a complete outsider.
She answered without missing a beat, "NexusMind Technologies, Raelynn Ortiz."
She represented no one but herself.
The manager noted her down.
Raelynn thought for a moment before asking, "Excuse me, has Mr. Croix arrived yet?"
She had no intention of staying at an event like this for long.
There were high-quality men right next to her who were genuinely interested. Even Ian Hudson had shown interest. Luke had been shocked back then, though Julian insisted Ian was just using Raelynn as a shield to cut ties with the Yves family. At the time, Luke had actually felt sorry for Raelynn, thinking Ian was completely out of line.
But now, here she was, still hopelessly pining after Sebastian.
He didn't even know why he was so furious.
Raelynn remained completely composed.
She simply watched Luke's furious outburst with cool detachment.
Just as Luke was about to snap from her silence, Raelynn spoke, her voice slow and measured. "Do you actually think I'm pathetic, or have you just turned Sebastian into your imaginary rival because you're jealous of him as a man?"
Luke's expression shattered.
He froze.
Raelynn had hit the nail violently on the head.
How could she not see that Luke was actually attracted to her?
He might not be deeply in love with her, but he was interested. The fact that she offered him zero encouragement while allegedly obsessing over another man bruised his male ego. Unwilling to admit it, he was lashing out, finding any excuse to tear her down just to salvage his own pride.

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!...
