Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 423

In retaliation, Seraphina had turned around and bought heavily into NexusMind's upstream supplier, forcibly tying herself to their project. By doing so, Seraphina became a key partner in the endeavor, allowing her to siphon off the profits just the same...

"That must have been an internal company dinner for Keystone back there," Mr. Fletcher remarked.

Remembering something else, he looked at Raelynn. "So that means Mr. Croix and Ms. Vance are now upstream suppliers for NexusMind? That's great news. Keystone is a powerhouse, and Mr. Croix has immense backing. NexusMind is guaranteed to profit."

Raelynn just pressed her lips together in silence.

She felt utterly sick to her stomach.

This was her project, and Sebastian had forcefully shoehorned Seraphina into it, leaving her no room to refuse.

No wonder Sebastian hadn't pushed aggressively during their meeting about investing in NexusMind.

He had plenty of other tactics up his sleeve...

The fact that the other woman would effortlessly reap the rewards of her hard work and take a cut of her success made Raelynn feel overwhelmingly...

She took a deep breath to steady herself.

Preston's expression darkened slightly, though he maintained his composure as he poured Raelynn a glass of water.

The damage was done.

There was absolutely nothing they could do about it.

"Mr. Croix is truly devoted to Ms. Vance. Not many men could pull off a move of that magnitude. It shows real vision and genuine care," Mr. Fletcher mused.

Raelynn took a sip of water, trying to soothe the painful lump in her throat. "Indeed."

"However," Mr. Fletcher lowered his voice conspiratorially. "Have you heard the gossip about the Croix family? Being from Seaport City, I'm a bit out of the loop, but rumor has it Mr. Croix actually has a lawful wife at home. Do you think she knows her husband is bestowing such massive honors on another woman? That's why I always say women shouldn't just shut themselves away at home. Her husband was stolen right from under her nose, and she has no clue. It's truly pathetic."

Preston opened his mouth to speak but quickly shut it.

He cast a complicated look at Raelynn.

Raelynn, however, didn't react wildly. She even managed a light laugh in response. "Yeah, being universally known for wearing a green hat—that really is miserable."

She mocked her own situation effortlessly.

Mr. Fletcher, oblivious to the underlying truth, laughed along and continued chatting.

The rest of the meal tasted like ash.

Both Raelynn and Preston were distracted and uneasy.

Now that Seraphina had flipped the script and become their upstream supplier.
