Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 369

Raelynn had expected some sort of reaction from Sebastian. Even if he wasn't as visibly furious as Seraphina, a subtle frown would have proven her jab had landed. Yet he remained completely indifferent, essentially validating her sarcastic title. She frowned slightly.

The game suddenly felt incredibly boring.

"Sebastian, ninety million is blatant extortion," Seraphina bit out, struggling to contain her outrage.

Her team and technology were valuable, yes, but she wasn't about to let Raelynn gouge them like this.

Raelynn's lips curled. "I think you're confused about something."

She enunciated every word with devastating precision. "I'm demanding ninety million not because I think your project is actually worth that much, and certainly not because I believe you have any real talent. I'm charging for Longstride's resource valuation and the company's operational losses. The actual value of your tech... doesn't even make up one percent of that number."

Raelynn maintained an unshakeable calm.

It was precisely that chilling rationality that turned her words into a brutal execution of Seraphina's ego.

Seraphina's expression collapsed.

Her lips turned bloodless from sheer, unadulterated rage.

How dare Raelynn say her abilities and project were worthless?!

Who did she think she was?

Even Leo was visibly stunned.

He knew Raelynn had a sharp tongue, but this level of ruthlessness caught him completely off guard.

Wasn't she taking this way too far? She got the money, she got the upper hand, yet she was still viciously tearing down Seraphina's worth, acting as though she had wanted to toss the team in the trash from the very beginning.

Wasn't she just trying a little too hard to play the victor?

Standing off to the side, Mr. Tanner was practically sweating bullets.

The drama was spectacular.

It was the kind of boardroom bloodbath only someone in his position would ever get to witness.

He hadn't expected Raelynn to be this fierce. She had taken a situation where she and Longstride were clearly being bullied and violently flipped the script, humiliating the opposition entirely.

The craziest part, however...

To say her public clash with Seraphina a few days ago was purely coincidental would be a lie.

The results spoke for themselves.

Her gamble had paid off flawlessly.

Sebastian had stepped in.

She had gotten exactly what she wanted, walking away with a massive buyout that dwarfed the actual value of Seraphina's team. She was thrilled.

As a businesswoman, she saw no shame in calculated manipulation. Everything else was an illusion; only cold, hard cash was real.

Seraphina took a deep, ragged breath. She was absolutely certain Raelynn was just throwing a tantrum to protect her fragile ego.

She had demanded an astronomical price purely out of spite, desperate to stop them from leaving with such a valuable project.

But Raelynn had severely underestimated Sebastian's willingness to pay anything for her.

Her little scheme had completely backfired.
