Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 449
They decided not to let it ruin their mood.
"We'll wait for the university's official statement on Raelynn," Leo said. "For now, let's just celebrate Sera finishing her interviews."
Julian glanced back over his shoulder one last time, a nagging feeling settling in his chest. His grandmother had never mentioned pulling strings for Raelynn. The math just wasn't adding up.
Meanwhile, Raelynn was stuck in a faculty meeting to finalize the interview scores. The grading process was highly efficient. After reviewing the final roster, she couldn't help but glance across the table at Dr. Adrian Moreno, who was calmly reading through a dissertation.
Adrian caught her eye. "What are you looking at me for? Surprised by the results?"
She wasn't surprised at all. Adrian had three doctoral slots to fill, and he hadn't given a single one to Seraphina Vance. She was officially rejected.
The results were already posted online. Seraphina probably knew by now.
Raelynn's intuition proved correct. As she and Adrian headed toward the dining hall, they ran straight into the very group she expected.
Seraphina looked sick. Leo had thrown a party to celebrate her supposed victory since he had plenty of free time after his recent corporate demotion. Mid-party, Seraphina had eagerly checked the university portal, only to find her name missing from the accepted list.
She couldn't believe it. She had been rejected.
But she wasn't going to take it lying down. She needed answers. She just hadn't expected to run into Raelynn so soon. Normally, outsiders couldn't easily access the campus, but Sebastian's status had gotten them past security.
Sebastian's gaze briefly flicked over Raelynn before settling on the man beside her.
"Director Moreno," Seraphina said, taking a deep breath to steady herself. "Could I have a word?"
Adrian stopped and looked at her. "Go ahead."
"Why wasn't I selected?" Seraphina asked. She shot a deliberate look at Raelynn before continuing. "Was there a grading error? My academic scores more than exceeded the baseline."
In short, she was asking if someone had intentionally tanked her evaluation.
Adrian's words were ruthless. He had publicly dismantled her carefully crafted image, exposing the truth: she had gone overseas because she couldn't cut it locally.
The reality was simple. He didn't think she was good enough, and she hadn't earned the spot.
A crowd of passing students had already stopped to watch, murmuring among themselves and casting mocking glances her way. The humiliation threatened to swallow her whole.
Clenching her fists, Seraphina abruptly turned her desperation toward Raelynn, who had been watching in silence.
"And what about Raelynn?" Seraphina demanded. "How exactly did she earn her professorship? Can she justify her position to the public?"
Raelynn blinked. Was Seraphina seriously trying to drag her into this dumpster fire?
Sebastian's dark eyes slid lazily over to Raelynn.
Adrian let out a harsh laugh. "You couldn't even compete with your own batch of candidates, yet you have the audacity to question Raelynn? The university's first Professor of Exceptional Merit in over a decade?"

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!...
