Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 396
Perhaps it was the attention drawn by her recently "spending the night."
When Sebastian Croix answered his phone, almost everyone at the dinner table was hyper-focused on him.
Assistant Quinn's voice was clearly audible.
Seraphina Vance was sitting closest to him, and the sickly sweet smile on her lips vanished in an instant.
She stood up in disbelief. "There must be a mistake?"
After all, this was a massive medical malpractice claim right during the crucial launch period of her smart medical technology. A crisis now would completely ruin her career!
Matilda Croix sat on the other side of Sebastian, her expression instantly turning freezing cold.
"What does this mean? Get the details," she demanded.
She ordered Sebastian to lay everything out in the open so she could understand the situation.
Raelynn Ortiz had no idea what was going on, looking over in confusion.
Knowing his grandmother's domineering nature, Sebastian simply put the call on speakerphone. His tone remained remarkably steady. "Give me the specifics."
Quinn reported with grave seriousness, "Just after five this evening, Gracefield Private Hospital completed a gallbladder removal surgery. However, half an hour post-op, the patient died from a perforated bowel. The hospital tried to cover it up, but since you had me keep a close eye on Ms. Vance's project, I caught wind of it."
Seraphina's face drained of color.
How could her machine cause a fatal accident right after entering the operating room?
"Isn't that the surgeon's fault?" she asked, trying desperately to steady her voice.
Quinn replied, "The hospital stated that the surgical robot provided by Ms. Vance malfunctioned, resulting in imprecise movements that caused the perforation."
Seraphina's breathing grew erratic.
She was utterly stunned.
Even Raelynn couldn't help but frown.
This was a matter of life and death.
A supposedly minimally invasive surgery had resulted in a catastrophic tragedy.
How innocent were the patient and their family?
In an instant.
The dynamic in the grand dining room shifted dramatically.
Brenda Polk, who had been in a foul mood all night, seized the opportunity and snapped mercilessly, "You useless piece of trash! If you spent half as much energy on your career as you do seducing men, you wouldn't be in this mess. Let's see how you worm your way out of this!"
Murmurs erupted from the extended Croix family members at the adjacent tables.
Seraphina looked as though she was going to be sick.
Amidst her shock, Raelynn quickly realized something crucial.
With Seraphina caught in this scandal, would the Matriarch use it as an excuse to trap Raelynn in the Croix estate? Would her divorce be delayed again?
Raelynn slipped quietly out of the chaotic dining room.
She sprinted toward the Matriarch's private courtyard without looking back.
Taking advantage of the chaos and the fact that Sebastian was distracted with Seraphina's crisis, Raelynn ran all the way to the courtyard unnoticed.

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!...
