But...
"So you have absolutely no plan?" Leo snapped, kicking a chair in sheer frustration.
He felt bad for her, but his own neck was on the line.
If he didn't fix this, his grandfather would "fix" him.
"Where's Sebastian?" Leo asked, swallowing the urge to scream at her. His family still owed Seraphina a massive debt of gratitude, so he forced himself to endure the collateral damage.
As far as he was concerned, Sebastian was the only one who could clean this up.
Seraphina noticed his hostility. He wasn't giving her his usual gentle treatment.
She bit her lip. "Sebastian is in a meeting. He should be here soon."
This scandal had thoroughly humiliated her in front of the Croix family.
She was more desperate to fix it than anyone.
Cameron Croix was getting released soon.
She knew Cameron was far more unhinged than Sebastian, and she was terrified of the chaos he might bring. She needed to resolve this and secure her place in the family, or at least finalize her relationship with Sebastian before Cameron got out...
Only then would Cameron be too intimidated to challenge his older brother.
The office door swung open again.
Sebastian strode in, his long legs eating up the distance. His striking features were entirely unreadable as he glanced at Leo's furious expression. "How are you going to explain this to the old man?"
The casual question only made Leo's blood boil hotter.
Seraphina hurried over to Sebastian, her pretty face twisted in distress. "Sebastian, how do we make this go away? I don't know what to do."
Sebastian lowered his gaze, then looked toward the hallway. "Come in."
Seraphina and Leo turned around.
Two foreign medical experts from her team walked into the room.
Sebastian took a seat. "These two have agreed to take the fall."
Seraphina instantly understood. They were going to be the scapegoats.
"But even with scapegoats, won't the public still think my equipment caused the accident?"
Sebastian met her eyes. "The surgeon is the son of a very powerful man. If you cross him, you'll be permanently blacklisted from the industry. It's better to do him a favor."
"You need to talk to Raelynn."
The brief relief Seraphina felt instantly shattered.
She had to beg Raelynn?
Leo stepped forward.
"Sebastian, Raelynn will never agree to help us. Why don't you call her? If you ask, she'll jump at the chance."
Seraphina looked at him, her eyes brimming with hopeful desperation.
Sebastian lowered his gaze, lost in thought for a second, before replying, "Fine."
He dialed Raelynn's number.
It rang exactly three times.
Before...
Raelynn brutally declined the call.

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!...
