Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 373
Julian cast an unreadable look at Raelynn and Preston. "Director Moreno has always been the type to hold nothing back when it comes to mentoring his people."
"Exactly. If you were his student, all of those connections would belong to you," Leo pointed out.
The tight knot of anxiety in Seraphina's chest instantly loosened.
She thought Leo made a lot of sense.
But...
"Mr. Moreno is just introducing her to his father. He does not even stop to consider that a mediocre former ER doctor like Raelynn could never truly earn Director Moreno's serious backing. Does having a few high-profile introductions magically fix her lack of actual talent?" Leo shrugged, acting as though he were just stating the harsh truth.
To be fair, they had been genuinely shocked when they first saw the scene.
But it did not take long to rationalize it as nothing more than Raelynn milking her social connections.
Seraphina covered her mouth, letting out a soft, elegant laugh.
It was a fair point.
She had panicked for a second when she first walked over and saw Raelynn chatting with those heavyweights.
But now that she thought it through, there was nothing to worry about.
"It doesn't matter," Seraphina said, lifting her chin slightly, her smile the picture of educated grace. "If sweet-talking were all it took to guarantee a boundless future, then actual skill and competence would be useless. We might as well all just take classes on emotional intelligence."
Her passive-aggressive dig hit its mark perfectly.
Yet she left the insult unspoken enough to maintain her dignity.
She severely doubted those important men would actually remember a woman like Raelynn.
In the end, they would just label her as 'the close friend of Director Moreno's son.'
Raelynn simply lacked the substance to make them remember her for herself.
Leo gave Seraphina an approving thumbs-up.
Sebastian stayed out of the petty chatter, as a stream of industry elites had already swarmed him to exchange pleasantries.
Once Raelynn wrapped up her introductions, a staff member directed her to find her seat.
She never even noticed the group standing nearby.
Preston lowered his voice as they walked. "I just got the inside scoop. Sebastian is here today too. Given that Croix Holdings is the ultimate dream company for the geniuses bred at Kingsford, he's obviously on the VIP guest list. But..."
Resigned, Raelynn sighed, ran a hand through her hair, and walked toward the seating area.
The moment she arrived.
She spotted her name card sitting directly next to Sebastian's.
In that single second of hesitation.
A hand moved faster than hers, snatching Raelynn's name card and tossing it into the back row like a piece of discarded trash.
Then, the person placed a card reading 'Seraphina Vance' in the empty spot next to Sebastian.
The entire sequence happened in a blur.
Raelynn looked up.
She met Seraphina's eyes.
Seraphina had clearly seen her standing right there, yet she executed the swap right to her face.
Looking utterly... entitled.

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!...
