Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 443
He was more than happy to talk business.
Raelynn was pleasantly surprised. Even though Seraphina was now involved, Keystone Manufacturing as a whole was still highly cooperative.
But the phrase "heard great things" struck her as odd. "You know of me?"
Mr. Lawson was about to answer when his phone buzzed with a work call. Raelynn politely gestured. "Please, take the call. I'll just look around on my own."
Keystone's factory was sprawling.
It even boasted its own independent R&D labs.
She still hadn't had a chance to formally negotiate prices with Mr. Lawson.
Raelynn was escorted to a private meeting room.
She hadn't been sitting for long.
The door clicked open again.
When Raelynn saw Seraphina walk in, she wasn't particularly shocked.
She had known beforehand that Seraphina, having just dumped a fortune into the company, would likely be around.
Seraphina shot Raelynn an icy glare as her assistant announced, "Ms. Ortiz is here to discuss the details for the next phase of the contract."
Seraphina took a seat in a single armchair, crossing her legs as she picked up the quote sheet. "Let's hear it. What's NexusMind's ideal price point?"
Raelynn recognized the sheer arrogance rolling off of her.
She cut straight to the chase. "I want the unit price capped at $1,800."
Seraphina scoffed. "Do you think Keystone is a charity? We might as well close shop if we don't turn a profit. $1,980. That's my absolute bottom line. If that doesn't work for you, feel free to take your business elsewhere."
Raelynn knew exactly what this was—Seraphina was intentionally making things difficult.
During the first phase, they had agreed on $1,920. Now she was unilaterally jacking up the price.
"Who exactly are you speaking for?" Raelynn asked.
Seraphina frowned. "That sounds like an internal matter for Keystone, Raelynn. Just who do you think you're questioning?"
She tossed the quote sheet onto the table and let out a light laugh. "It's not that I'm completely unreasonable, but that depends entirely on how much 'sincerity' you're willing to show me. I'm actually quite agreeable, provided you check your attitude. If you impress me, I might consider your price."
Raelynn's eyes were utterly void of emotion.
She stared blankly at Seraphina's smug smile.
She glanced down. It was a message from Dr. Adrian Moreno, followed by a system alert.
Raelynn looked up slowly. "So, there's no room for negotiation?"
Seraphina's phone chimed at the same time.
She saw a notification from Kingsford University detailing the check-in location for her upcoming interview.
Her smile widened. "Like I said, you can show me how sincere you are. If I'm satisfied, we can talk."
She curled her lips. "You could try begging."
"I'll give you time to think it over, but I'm quite busy. I need to prep for my PhD interview."
In short: she had no time to waste playing games with Raelynn.
Raelynn had finally witnessed the sheer ugliness of a person like Seraphina when handed a shred of power.
But...
She slowly pulled out her phone and checked Dr. Moreno's text again.
- [For the PhD admissions, you'll be sitting on the interview panel. The university sent you the schedule, right? Don't be late.]

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
