Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 365

Deciding to force his hand, she spoke up sharply. "Mr. Tanner, regarding the R&D team's upcoming marketing campaign, I want to secure premium advertising slots in a few prime locations. Shall we discuss this?"

Longstride's marketing resources were undeniably top-tier in the industry.

They could provide the absolute best promotional support.

Mr. Tanner instinctively looked at Raelynn.

The owner of the company was standing right there.

He had no right to overstep and make a decision in her presence.

Seraphina was clearly trying to publicly humiliate Raelynn, undermining her authority as the boss.

It was a glaring declaration that she didn't respect Raelynn in the slightest.

It was a silent, brazen provocation.

The surrounding staff in the executive office exchanged stealthy, uncomfortable glances, their expressions a mix of shock and apprehension.

Raelynn hadn't expected Seraphina to pull such a pathetic stunt in front of an audience.

Of course, she knew exactly where this came from. Sebastian's long-standing indulgence had given Seraphina an unshakeable sense of security, breeding this wildly inappropriate arrogance. She was actually trying to put her new boss in her place.

It had made the woman completely delusional about her own status and position.

A faint, cold smile curved Raelynn's lips. "If you insist on walking around with your head that far in the clouds, I can certainly help you stay there."

"Mr. Tanner, have HR draft her termination letter."

Raelynn didn't mince words. Her voice was quiet, steady, and utterly ruthless.

Several employees gasped, staring at Raelynn in stunned disbelief.

Everyone knew exactly who had pulled strings to get Seraphina into the company, yet here they were...

Even Seraphina's expression faltered. She glared at her rival. "Aren't you acting a bit too emotionally, Raelynn?"

If Sebastian hadn't handed Longstride over to Raelynn just to pacify her, Raelynn wouldn't even have the chance to throw her weight around like this!

Raelynn let out a dry chuckle. "So you can see me now? A miraculous cure for your sudden blindness?"

Seraphina's face darkened significantly.

Raelynn didn't give her a second to recover. The amusement vanished from her eyes. "You have two choices. You can either take that termination letter right now, or you can follow company policy, act like a professional, and recognize the reality that you do not have independent decision-making authority. The choice is yours."

Mr. Tanner let out a silent breath.

Sparing a quick glance at a livid Seraphina, he dutifully followed Raelynn down the hall.

He felt a pang of helplessness. Longstride belonged to Raelynn now, and Sebastian had completely washed his hands of its operations. Seraphina trying to throw her weight around was undeniably out of line.

Seraphina stared at Raelynn's retreating back, her jaw clenched tight.

Finally, she let out a bitter scoff and spun on her heel to take the elevator back down.

Raelynn didn't give the incident a second thought.

She continued to approve Longstride's resource allocations without bias. They secured several prime advertising spots, and the promotional campaign launched with massive success. Raelynn was perfectly fine with this—she genuinely wanted every project under Longstride to thrive.

What she hadn't anticipated was the immediate fallout.

A few days later, Mr. Tanner called her in a panic. "Ms. Ortiz, we have a situation..."

When Raelynn rushed over to the office, the first thing she saw upon pushing open the door was Sebastian, already seated comfortably in her office.

It was the first time she had seen him since their disastrous confrontation at the Croix Ancestral Estate.
