Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 329
Matilda frowned.
She knew perfectly well how much glory Seraphina had secured today. But if she simply accepted her along with the tide, then Sebastian and Raelynn's relationship would be permanently severed right here and now.
In this current scenario, even though Seraphina had indeed brought honor to the family, it left them in a highly passive position. They didn't want to directly acknowledge Seraphina's status, yet they couldn't deny it either. It looked exactly like a tacit agreement that she was about to join the Croix family—all part of Sebastian's scheming.
Sebastian was using this very occasion to inextricably link Seraphina's successes and failures with their own.
Raelynn wasn't in a rush to pick a fight with Seraphina.
She was still waiting.
Waiting for the perfect moment.
Just then, someone suddenly asked, "So, are you and Mr. Croix tying the knot soon, Ms. Vance?"
It was a question that demanded a direct answer.
Only then did Sebastian slowly lift his gaze.
Raelynn looked over as well, a trace of absurd mockery swimming in her eyes.
Catching Raelynn's stare, Sebastian's eyes locked onto her face for a split second.
Then, his gaze drifted to Matilda's face, seemingly sending a signal.
Matilda's expression grew somber; she suspected Sebastian was about to admit it outright.
Without giving him the chance to speak, she strode forward. "Thank you, everyone. Ms. Vance indeed has ties with our family, but one fact remains constant: she is a vital asset to Longstride and a talent that The Croix Group is focusing heavily on developing."
Sebastian raised an almost imperceptible brow, remaining silent.
Raelynn understood immediately. Matilda was acknowledging Seraphina's contributions, tying her to Longstride and the family professionally, while leaving the private matters entirely up to the imagination.
Not denying it was a form of silent consent.
Matilda was intent on capitalizing on every drop of profit Seraphina could bring in right now.
Seraphina understood it too, her smile growing even brighter.
She even cast a faintly arrogant glance in Raelynn's direction.
In that single look, Raelynn tasted the sheer arrogance of her provocation.
Her lips curled slightly, her tone perfectly even. "Is that so? Are those patents truly yours?"
Sebastian appeared thoroughly nonchalant. "If it's business, Mr. Moreno, feel free to speak your mind."
Then it would be done publicly.
Preston let out a mocking scoff and turned back to the woman of the hour. "Ms. Vance, care to explain why you plagiarized NexusMind's database, maliciously registered the patents under your name, and are now parading them around as your own? You stole Faye the Great's work and claimed her honors for yourself. What exactly do you take NexusMind for?"
Gasps echoed through the room.
Shock rippled through the crowd.
The guests were stunned by the sudden turn of events.
Even Matilda's face drained of color.
Raelynn knew Preston was stepping up to speak for her because he knew she couldn't expose her true identity yet.
She remained silent.
Preston pressed on. "Was this authorized by Longstride? Or by The Croix Group?"
He was dragging the situation to an entirely more severe level.

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!...
