She was thrilled that Raelynn had to hear the hard truth.
In the end, wasn't Raelynn completely powerless, left with no choice but to scurry away and pretend she didn't know anything?
A short, sharp laugh escaped Raelynn's throat. The whole situation was absolutely ridiculous.
Company regulations were being altered on a whim just so Seraphina could bring her R&D team to this executive floor. No wonder she was able to swagger around Longstride Technologies as if she owned the place. With Sebastian indulging her like this, who in the company wouldn't cater to her every demand?
Raelynn ignored her.
She simply turned and headed straight toward the executive office.
Seeing Raelynn stroll through Longstride as if she owned the place sparked a flash of anger in Seraphina. She stepped forward and grabbed Raelynn's wrist. "That's Sebastian's office. You haven't been granted permission. You have no right to go in."
A sharp sting flared on Raelynn's wrist.
Seraphina's freshly manicured nails bit sharply into her skin.
That instantly drained the last of Raelynn's patience.
"It seems you still haven't figured out your place. I don't mind waking you up. I could have you thrown out of Longstride right now if I wanted to." Raelynn's eyes were cold.
But Seraphina was right about one thing. In the past, she truly wasn't allowed here. She didn't need Seraphina to remind her of the vast divide between them.
Seraphina's expression darkened.
She sneered, "Are you out of your mind?"
This was Sebastian's company. Raelynn was talking completely out of her depth!
Mr. Tanner hurried over.
Seeing the tense standoff, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
One was the legal wife, the other was the beloved mistress. As a corporate employee, he really didn't want to get caught in the crossfire.
But Longstride had officially changed hands, and he would be working for Raelynn from now on. He quickly turned to the other woman. "Ms. Vance, why don't we step inside to talk?"
"No need," Seraphina said sharply. "The R&D team is based here, and having outsiders around—especially people from other companies—is a security risk. Mr. Tanner, please see her out."
They had quite literally changed owners!
When the reality set in, all color drained from Seraphina's face. She stared in disbelief. "Her?"
Mr. Tanner looked at her apologetically. "Ms. Vance, you'll have to start addressing her as Boss Ortiz."
That single sentence hit her like a physical blow.
Seraphina's eyes darted frantically, her breathing growing ragged.
Raelynn took in the shocked expressions around her without offering any further explanation. She glanced over at the R&D department. "This team shouldn't be on this floor. Mr. Tanner, please follow standard protocol and have them moved downstairs within the next two days. If anyone refuses, give them three months' severance and let them find a new job."
A company needed absolute order. She didn't care what special privileges Sebastian had handed out; under her watch, jumping the chain of command was strictly forbidden.
Seraphina finally snapped out of her daze, glaring at Raelynn in horror. "You wouldn't dare!"
Raelynn was using the threat of termination to hold her hostage!
Raelynn turned slightly, her gaze piercing. "Want to make a bet? Let's see if I dare."

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!...
