Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 427

She stared at the invitation.

She wasn't sure if Sebastian knew his grandmother was arranging a blind date for her.

But a man like Sebastian wouldn't care either way.

So she had no intention of looping him in.

The event was a formal evening gala.

Raelynn picked out a classic, elegant evening gown that left no room for error and headed straight to the venue.

The luxury jewelry gala was incredibly lavish.

While not uncommon in high society.

Drawing in countless socialites and tycoons to boost the night's staggering sales numbers.

It was Raelynn's first time attending something like this.

Marrying Sebastian had technically elevated her into this elite stratosphere, but because they kept their marriage a secret, he had never brought her to these types of events.

Raelynn didn't rush to call Theon right away.

As she stepped into the main hall.

She spotted a sea of A-list celebrities acting as glamorous "sales representatives" for the jewelry on display.

The room was packed with media, wealthy socialites, and heiresses.

Raelynn didn't consider herself a lavish spender. Even though she had built up quite a nest egg, she rarely splurged.

However, Chloe Hudson's birthday was coming up.

She figured she might find a nice gift tonight, since Chloe obsessed over anything sparkling and beautiful.

Strolling through the venue.

Raelynn watched wealthy elites rubbing shoulders and taking photos with famous actors.

She wasn't one to get starstruck, so she paid them little mind.

After a brief lap around the room, she pulled out her phone to call Theon.

Before she could dial.

A voice called out from behind her. "Raelynn?"

She turned to see Julian, looking sharp in a tailored suit. He stared at her in utter shock, his expression twisting into a complicated blend of softening guilt and awkward hesitation.

"Julian," Raelynn greeted him with a brief nod.

Seraphina, dressed in a stunning white gown, glided forward and wrapped her arm seamlessly through Sebastian's in front of everyone.

The actress instantly read between the lines, her eyes darting nervously to Sebastian.

Sebastian didn't pull away from Seraphina's intimate gesture, offering a polite but icy rejection. "My apologies."

He completely shut down the actress's advances.

In an instant, every woman in the room shot Seraphina looks of burning envy.

Seraphina's smile turned impossibly sweet.

Watching the display, Raelynn understood perfectly. Sebastian was ruthlessly rejecting all temptation to assert strict boundaries, giving Seraphina unwavering security.

Raelynn genuinely hadn't expected to bump into him here.

Especially on the night of her blind date.

It made the entire situation feel bizarrely surreal...

She had zero desire to cross paths with Sebastian.

She was just about to excuse herself from Julian when a man broke through the crowd.

His eyes lit up the moment he saw her, and he walked straight over. "Ms. Ortiz? I'm Theon Tanner."
