Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 409
"Who knows, maybe Sebastian would treat you much better as a brother-in-law than he ever did as your husband."
The words made Raelynn's temples throb with a vicious headache.
It sounded like a sick joke.
If she gave up her position for Seraphina, Sebastian would suddenly treat her well? Suddenly become decent?
Raelynn kept walking without looking back, dropping a single, venomous sentence that wiped the smugness off Silas's face: "Don't project your gold-digger logic onto me. If you're addicted to living off a woman's money, keep me out of it."

Downstairs.
Chloe Hudson hurried over. "It's starting. He's really pushing through with this?"
Raelynn rubbed the throbbing spot between her brows and exhaled sharply. "He won't even speak to me. Fixing Seraphina's mess is his absolute top priority."
Even if it meant stepping on her, stepping on the Winslow family, and bleeding them dry.
"Doesn't this shop have a bunch of treasures that are strictly not for sale? Are they included in the fifteen items today?" Chloe asked.
Raelynn shook her head. "My grandfather mentioned a few to me when I was a kid, but it's been so long. I can't remember which ones they are."
"So what do we do?" Chloe gritted her teeth. "Then we bid. We jack up the prices and wreck the market. Let's see who's willing to bleed cash just to play along!"
It was the only viable strategy.
After all, the attendees were shrewd businesspeople.
Who would willingly throw away millions on antiques priced wildly above market value?
They were only here today to rub shoulders with Sebastian and Croix Holdings. They weren't exactly looking to be taken for fools!
Raelynn knew this was indeed a solid plan.
She gave a firm nod.
Since the shop was legally in Sebastian's hands now, even if she disrupted the auction with outrageous bids, there was nothing he could do to stop her. She was technically an "invited guest" today.
Even though she didn't have massive liquid funds,
she could at least cause some serious chaos.
The very first item brought out was an exquisitely crafted Renaissance-era piece.
The Venetian Glass Vase was of spectacular quality.
Several people were highly interested, quickly driving the starting bid of two million dollars up to two point seven million.
The entire premise today was charity and freedom of purchase. The emphasis was on the freedom.
Everyone with an invitation was incredibly wealthy.
But if they bid, it was expected to be a completed transaction.
With Raelynn maliciously inflating the prices, who else would dare bid?
And everyone knew Raelynn would ultimately back out of the payment.
Seraphina's face turned icy.
Raelynn was deliberately sabotaging her big moment!
"Seb, she's intentionally inflating the prices," Seraphina murmured, gently tugging at Sebastian's sleeve.
Sebastian's dark eyes shifted, landing briefly on Raelynn.
He raised his paddle without hesitation. "Four million."
As he spoke,
he turned his head toward Raelynn, his naturally cold voice completely devoid of emotion. "Whatever you bid, I'll match. Consider it my initial contribution to today's charity foundation. Raelynn, do you want to keep playing?"

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!...
