His eyes were unfathomable, masking whatever emotions stirred beneath.
The sheer audacity of the accusation made Raelynn sick to her stomach.
Never one to take an insult lying down, she opened her mouth to snap back.
But Sebastian was already walking toward her. He sat down directly across from her, effectively cutting off her retort. "Let's talk. We're going to resolve this properly."
It had been quite some time since Raelynn had seen him.
And of course, their reunion was entirely because of Seraphina. To think that a man as busy as him would personally show up to defend and empower his mistress—it was truly touching.
"This is the contract from when the team was originally formed." Sebastian pushed a stack of documents toward her, his gaze locked onto hers. "It was structured as an independent unit. Therefore, from a procedural standpoint, their exit from Longstride won't be complicated, nor will it involve any deep legal hurdles."
Raelynn gave the papers a cursory glance.
Sebastian was warning her not to cling to a lost cause.
He was telling her to be smart about it.
"I'm not someone who cares about fame or fortune. I only joined Longstride for Sebastian," Seraphina chimed in, making her stance clear. "Since he has stepped down from managing the company, I don't see any reason to waste my time here."
As she spoke, she threw an intimately affectionate look at the man beside her.
The saccharine sweetness on her face was so obvious a blind man could see it.
She was deliberately flaunting her deep bond with Sebastian.
How sickeningly sweet.
Raelynn felt like a background extra, forced to watch their unapologetic display of affection.
Her expression remained cool. "It seems you genuinely believe you're some kind of VIP, that everyone has to bow to your every whim. You want to leave? Fine. Let's take it to court. We'll let a judge decide. If you think you can just walk away cleanly with a project entirely funded by Longstride, you're out of your mind."
There were plenty of legal precedents for this in the corporate world.
This was textbook betrayal—milking the company for every possible resource, then rebranding the final product as a solo achievement.
Didn't care about her project? She was obviously trying to steal it while simultaneously trashing its value. Leo was right—she was pathetically desperate!
"What about a buyout based on valuation?" Sebastian cut straight to the chase, his gaze locked onto Raelynn. "Run an evaluation on the project, and I will buy it out."
Raelynn's expression flattened.
A suffocating wave of frustration caught in her throat.
Sebastian was absolutely dead set on helping Seraphina escape Longstride.
He was willing to throw his own money at her to buy out the project, all to purchase Seraphina's freedom so she could start her own firm.
Raelynn said nothing.
She was genuinely blinded by this display of epic romance.
Sebastian watched her reaction intently, refusing to look away. "If I buy it out for her, does she have the decision-making authority now?"

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
