Sebastian's voice was unhurried, yet striking with absolute clarity.
It was like tossing a match into a powder keg. The room instantly erupted into a chaotic, uncontrollable frenzy.
The situation spiraled out of hand in the blink of an eye.
Dozens of heads snapped in their direction.
Shock was painted across every face.
Countless gazes darted back and forth between Raelynn and Seraphina.
Preston furrowed his brow deeply.
He had never expected Sebastian to drop a bombshell like this out of nowhere.
Seraphina's expression, previously a mask of victimized sorrow, froze completely. The color drained from her face, leaving her devastatingly pale.
Even Raelynn felt her heart pound furiously against her ribs. She looked up in pure astonishment.
She completely forgot to struggle, completely forgot to pull away from the arm firmly clamped around her.
"You..." she murmured.
Sebastian slowly lowered his gaze. His striking, dark eyes betrayed no readable emotion. Even while facing a scandal massive enough to feed the tabloids for a year, he remained entirely unbothered.
"Raelynn and I have been married for years. I expect everyone to recognize my Mrs. Croix."
He used a tone of absolute certainty, forcing those who had doubted his initial statement to accept the undeniable truth.
Raelynn felt the stunned stares burning into her from every direction.
The whispers in the room morphed into a chaotic buzz.
Matilda shot Sebastian an unexpected, evaluating glance.
She had brainstormed multiple ways to handle the crisis, but she never imagined her grandson would be this decisive.
It was a ruthless, brilliant move. By instantly severing any perceived romantic tie between Seraphina and the Croix family, he was stabilizing The Croix Group's public image at breakneck speed.
Luke was standing close by.
He could literally feel his entire perception of reality crumbling to dust.
His grip on his glass went slack, the expensive champagne spilling over the rim.
Disbelieving eyes locked onto Raelynn's face. "Your husband... he's actually..."
In that split second.
He suddenly remembered all the times he had taken the moral high ground to condemn her, the countless times he had humiliated her, and even...
How he had asked Sebastian for advice on how to get her into his bed.
Luke's face shifted through a spectrum of colors, ultimately settling into a grim, sickly pallor.
