Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 441

"Did you see the news? Those 'affectionate' photos of us. Considering where we are right now, it's highly inappropriate. I assume you feel the same way. Please have the article taken down. For you, it's just one phone call..."

Before she could finish—

Beep beep beep—

The line went dead.

He hadn't spoken a single syllable.

Raelynn suddenly felt a suffocating tightness in her chest.

The sheer helplessness morphed into rage—the fury of being so blatantly disrespected.

When she tried calling back, it went straight to voicemail.

Raelynn felt a sudden, intense urge to curse him out.

Instead, she shot off a quick message to Professor Alistair Finch.

Today, Lily was strictly forbidden from looking at any phones.

-

The Tea Room.

A waiter approached to serve dessert and accidentally bumped Sebastian's elbow.

Sebastian's finger slipped and hit the end-call button.

His expression didn't shift. He simply placed the phone down on the table.

He had zero intention of calling back.

The waiter quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Croix. I slipped..."

"It's fine," Sebastian said, taking a slow sip of his drink.

Next to him, Leo Flynn looked heavily burdened and in a foul mood.

He had just gotten out of confinement.

The old man was notoriously fair but brutal with punishments.

He was merciless, even to his own grandson.

Leo was now in deep trouble, demoted and essentially "exiled" to a branch office.

If he didn't want the rest of the Flynn family to devour him alive, he had to figure out a way back to headquarters.

The whole ordeal was giving him a massive headache.

The only person who could help him strategize was Sebastian.

She was seething with rage.

She had tried prying information about the gala night out of Julian.

Because Julian had gone upstairs with Sebastian.

She hadn't witnessed the actual fallout.

But all Julian said was, "Nothing happened. It was a misunderstanding."

Her gut told her Julian was lying to her face.

Holding back her frustration, she took a silent breath and looked at Sebastian. "It's fine. I'm not that petty."

She probed gently, "It must have been the camera angle, or just a total misunderstanding. You've never had 'scandals' like this before, Seb. Will it negatively impact you? Should we look into getting it removed?"

Of course she was annoyed by it.

She still couldn't wrap her head around how Theon Tanner had entirely vanished from the narrative.

It was as if he had never even been there!

Not a single picture of him!

Yet they somehow captured Sebastian and Raelynn looking like a romance novel cover? Ridiculous!
