Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 414

Professor Polk had maintained a polite, professional demeanor while chatting with them, but the moment the mysterious associate professor was mentioned, his face positively lit up with enthusiasm.

He clearly held immense admiration for this person.

This only fueled Seraphina's curiosity.

She wanted to network with absolutely everyone of importance today. If this person could command such blatant respect from Professor Polk, they had to be brilliant. Making that connection would only benefit her.

Sebastian instinctively followed Polk's gaze across the room.

Just then.

A voice rang out near the entrance.

"Chairwoman Hayes has arrived."

Professor Polk instantly retracted his gaze and looked toward the doors. Seraphina was slightly disappointed she hadn't spotted the associate professor, but she immediately perked up at the arrival of Dr. Evelyn Hayes.

Sebastian didn't move.

His eyes remained locked on the exact spot Professor Polk had been looking at.

In the southeast corner, amidst the shifting crowd, he caught a glimpse of a familiar, slender silhouette.

Raelynn was sitting right there.

Seraphina gently touched his arm. "Seb, let's go greet Dr. Hayes."

Sebastian slowly withdrew his gaze.

Seraphina replayed Blanche's advice in her head: she needed to forge a strong bond with the Yves family at all costs.

Seeing Dr. Hayes approaching, she painted on her most elegant, respectful smile. "Dr. Hayes..."

Dr. Hayes seemed to look right through her, brushing past the moment Seraphina opened her mouth.

She didn't stop for her.

Seraphina's perfect smile froze on her face.

She turned to watch where the older woman was going.

Her expression instantly darkened.

Dr. Hayes was walking straight toward... Raelynn.

With her unparalleled status, Dr. Hayes could have effortlessly blacklisted Raelynn from the entire medical industry with a single phone call.

"Dr. Hayes seems incredibly forgiving toward Raelynn," Seraphina muttered, a knot of unease tightening in her chest. Her face looked grim.

Julian knew his grandmother was fiercely principled about separating work from family.

But he was just as baffled.

It seemed his grandmother shared the same inexplicable... sympathy for Raelynn that he did?

It was bizarre.

"The issue lies with Ian Hudson. Dr. Hayes sees the board clearly," Sebastian remarked in a calm, flat tone.

Julian couldn't argue with that logic.

Speaking of family drama, Julian scanned the room. "Mr. Flynn Sr. has heavy connections in this circle. Why isn't Leo Flynn here today?"

At the mention of Leo,

Seraphina's face twitched unnaturally. "Leo is grounded by his family."
