Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 418

Raelynn had known the backlash was inevitable.

In the heat of the emergency, she hadn't wanted to waste precious golden moments indulging Seraphina Vance's petty rivalry. When she slapped the other woman, she had done so with absolute, chilling clarity.

So, as she met Seraphina's scathing glare now,

Raelynn remained entirely unbothered.

She didn't even bother glancing at Sebastian Croix to see his reaction. "Do whatever you want. Call the cops or sue me. If you need my ID number, just ask your precious Mr. Croix. He knows it."

Dropping those words, Raelynn turned on her heel and walked away.

She felt sticky and exhausted, desperate to clean herself up.

However, Raelynn's unapologetic attitude made Seraphina scowl, a suffocating wave of rage welling up inside her.

The humiliation she suffered today was massive.

It had happened right in front of countless mentors and university executives.

It had even occurred before the very peers she would be working with once she became Dr. Adrian Moreno's doctoral student.

Furthermore.

Raelynn had undeniably proven her worth and saved the day in front of the school officials.

The Yves family would likely treat Raelynn with even more respect going forward, wouldn't they?

The thought left her mind spiraling in jealousy.

"Sebastian, it seems she has no intention of apologizing." Seraphina took a deep breath, feigning helplessness and grievance. "I genuinely thought I could let it go if she just said she was sorry."

Sebastian finally tore his gaze away from the direction Raelynn had left. "Do you want to go to the infirmary for an ice pack?"

His concern immediately brightened Seraphina's expression. She glanced at the suit jacket Raelynn had discarded on the floor. "It's fine, it doesn't hurt anymore. As long as Dr. Hayes is okay, that's all that matters. It's just a shame I didn't get to network with her properly. Now, it's going to be incredibly difficult for me to secure a solid project anytime soon..."

"It won't be difficult." Sebastian's tone was impossibly casual. He walked over, picking up the discarded jacket, his gaze turning somber.

Seraphina looked at him, her eyes silently asking what he meant.
