Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 410

Raelynn stared at the man's strikingly handsome face.

A chilling wave of realization washed over her heart.

She instantly understood what Sebastian was doing.

He knew exactly what her goal was. So, he was beating her at her own game, fully aware that she couldn't afford to bluff at those numbers.

Furthermore,

Sebastian was sending her a direct warning.

He could be the host, and he could be the buyer. The antiques she was so desperate to protect would still never end up in her hands.

Seraphina's eyes immediately swam with touched tears.

She shot Raelynn a smug, triumphant glance.

Her smile grew sickeningly sweet.

Raelynn finally understood.

She couldn't outplay Sebastian.

A suffocating sense of defeat filled her chest, grating like hot sand against her lungs. She looked at him with absolute despair.

Sebastian seemed completely oblivious to her emotional turmoil.

He spoke smoothly, "Thank you all for coming today. I'll take this first piece to start things off right, and I'll be gifting it to a lucky guest here in the audience."

Raelynn's head snapped toward him.

She thought she had misheard.

As his words settled over the room,

a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted.

Seraphina was momentarily stunned before gazing at him with absolute adoration. "Seb, thank you for doing all of this for me..."

Sebastian was buying it just to give it away to a wealthy guest.

He was expanding her network, fortifying the PR stunt to clean her reputation, and laying down the bricks for her future. When she eventually launched her next project, the people in this room—the people who had benefited from Sebastian's generosity today—would become her most loyal allies.

It was a masterstroke of manipulation!

Raelynn saw right through the layers of his strategy.

Her chest physically ached.

She let out a bitter, self-deprecating smile.

When it came to ruthless games like this, she truly was no match for Sebastian.

He had utterly blocked her path.

He was telling her that if she kept trying to sabotage the bids, he would simply keep matching them and giving her family's treasures away to strangers.

Chloe went ahead to pull the car around.

Raelynn took one last look around the small building.

As she rounded the corner,

she spotted the welcome sign.

At the very bottom, it listed the hosts.

Sebastian Croix, Seraphina Vance.

Their names sat side by side.

It looked exactly like a welcome sign for a bride and groom.

"Oh, there you are. Perfect timing. We booked a restaurant—do you want to join us?"

Raelynn turned around.

Seraphina and Sebastian were walking toward her, side by side.

Seraphina was glowing with triumph. They had cleared over forty million dollars in sales today.

Every cent was going to The Charity Foundation.

It was a massive boost to her public image, ensuring the media would focus on her philanthropy and conveniently forget the malpractice scandal at Gracefield Private Hospital.
