If they wouldn't give it to her.
She would just have to find it herself.
But Raelynn hadn't expected this.
Panting heavily as she pushed open the courtyard doors, she ran straight into the Matriarch's loyal old butler.
The old man looked kind enough, but his eyes were sharp and calculating. "Mrs. Croix? What brings you here?"
In that moment, a suffocating wave of helplessness washed over her.
She knew her plan had failed.
The butler would never let her inside to search.
"Nothing. There's some drama up front, so I went for a walk."
The butler nodded and gestured toward the path. "I'll have someone escort you back to the courtyard you share with Mr. Croix."
"Don't bother," Raelynn said coldly.
She had no choice but to turn around and walk away.
Escaping the suffocating grip of the Croix family was never going to be easy.
Perhaps it was the sheer exhaustion of the day's disastrous events, but Raelynn felt a deep sense of irritation. The Croix family wouldn't have a peaceful night either. They had finally given Seraphina an inch of respect, only for her to ruin it entirely.
Raelynn didn't return to the dining room.
The estate was going to be in an uproar tonight.
She had no desire to be part of the spectacle.
Without a word to Sebastian, she quietly drove away.
Whether Seraphina stayed the night, or if she spent it in the courtyard with Sebastian, Raelynn didn't care. She was far more interested in the details of the fatal medical error.
Gracefield Private Hospital was known for its ruthless management and deep pockets.
It was shocking that the incident hadn't exploded into a public scandal yet. Everything seemed terrifyingly calm.
The next day.
Raelynn arrived at NexusMind Technologies and bumped straight into Preston Moreno. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his office. "Seraphina's project just blew up. Did you—"
But this time.
Even his background couldn't bury the scandal.
"Since they couldn't cover it up, they had to pin the blame somewhere. Naturally, it fell on Seraphina's surgical robot. Now she's the one taking the fall."
Raelynn understood perfectly.
The machine itself might not have been fundamentally flawed, but the surgeon had the ultimate shield.
Even if Seraphina was innocent, she had no way out.
"She really messed with the wrong people this time," Raelynn said, her brow furrowing. "If she can't resolve this, her project will bankrupt her. No one in the industry will touch her tech, and her resume will forever be stained with a patient's death. Her future is basically over."
This was infinitely worse than the patent theft scandal.
At that moment.
A thought struck Raelynn.
Hadn't Leo Flynn invested heavily in her project?

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!...
