Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 371
Raelynn smoothly lowered her gaze, masking any trace of reaction.
"What happened?" Leo asked, noting the sudden shift.
Seraphina glanced at Raelynn and didn't bother hiding it, knowing Raelynn was already aware of the situation.
"My patent claim got revoked," she gritted out, shaking her head in frustrated disbelief. "Faye's camp claims they have the original formula data too. Since she's an industry giant, they sided with her."
She honestly couldn't wrap her head around it. Faye was practically untouchable, refusing to make a single public appearance, even when her own patent was on the line. But then again, true elites possessed that kind of arrogance. Faye had legions of people to handle her trivial affairs. With figures like Dr. Adrian Moreno as her senior and Professor Alistair Finch as her mentor, Faye had more than enough capital to act like royalty.
Leo shot a side-eye at Raelynn. "Don't sweat it. Just focus on your current project. You can apply for other patents later. But a golden project like this? That's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Wouldn't you agree, Raelynn?"
Raelynn easily translated Leo's backhanded comfort. He was giving Seraphina a golden pedestal to stand on.
While simultaneously insinuating that Raelynn was a talentless hack who couldn't even compare.
She couldn't hold back a soft, amused scoff. The elevator doors slid open, and she stepped inside, turning to face them. "Well then. I wish you both the best of luck."
Just as she spoke,
Sebastian finished his call and rounded the corner.
Raelynn hammered the 'close door' button without a second's hesitation.
Sebastian didn't seem to notice. His gaze slid right past her as he escorted Seraphina into the adjacent elevator.
***
Raelynn soon received her own confirmation from the patent office.
It made perfect sense that Seraphina and Leo were utterly clueless. She hadn't filed the application under her English alias; she had used her real name.
And given their staggering arrogance and blinding prejudice, they would never in a million years connect the dots back to her.
Some people were simply destined to rot inside their own narrow worldviews, forever blind to the vastness of reality.
That evening,
Chloe Hudson met Raelynn for dinner.
There was zero chance Sebastian was oblivious to this!
Raelynn took a bite of her Yam and Blueberry Purée and chewed thoughtfully. "They're attending publicly under the guise of professional project networking. No one is going to point any fingers at them."
Still, there was no denying that Sebastian was actively weaponizing his network for Seraphina's benefit.
His reach was vast enough to shield a mistress from any storm, yet somehow too small to keep his own wife from standing in the pouring rain.
Fortunately, Raelynn had made her peace with this reality a long time ago.
She could brush this off without a second thought.
Because in just a few short days, a ninety-million-dollar contract would be signed and the money wired directly into her accounts. As long as she was getting paid, she was perfectly happy.
The very next day,
Raelynn received a call from Dr. Adrian Moreno. "The Kingsford University Anniversary Gala is tomorrow. Since you're stepping into your role as Associate Professor soon, they need you there as a special guest."

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!...
