Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 452
The moment Seraphina stepped inside her house, she grabbed a decorative vase and hurled it against the wall, her chest heaving as it shattered into pieces.
Her eyes were red with humiliation. She was shaking with pure rage.
They still hadn't figured out exactly how Raelynn had secured the professorship, but the sheer weight of that honor was crushing Seraphina entirely.
And now, the Croix family's attitude had instantly pivoted.
Matilda Croix had finally started warming up to her, but now Raelynn was the toast of high society. The elite were flocking to the Croix estate to curry favor, and Matilda wanted to throw a massive banquet to tether Raelynn's success directly to the family's name.
It would only make Raelynn more untouchable.
And where did that leave her?
"What on earth is going on?" Blanche rushed into the entryway.
"Raelynn..." Seraphina choked out, wiping her eyes. "She's completely blocking my path!"
With Cameron's prison release looming over her head, she still hadn't solidified her place within the Croix family. She quickly filled Blanche in on Raelynn's sudden rise to power.
Blanche's face hardened. "Who the hell is backing her? She was just a glorified ER doctor. That new drug was published under her name, but everyone knows it was just compensation from NexusMind. What actual skills does she have?"
"I don't know!" Seraphina snapped, shutting her eyes tightly. "She hasn't left a single trace!"
It was a calculated move. Raelynn had deliberately stayed silent, letting Seraphina make a fool of herself during the interview before swooping in to steal the spotlight and regain the Croix family's approval.
If this continued, Seraphina's future was doomed.
A vicious glint appeared in Blanche's eyes. "We have to find a way to knock her down a peg. We can't stay on the defensive like this. Don't worry, I'll figure something out."
Over the next two days, Raelynn barely had time to breathe.
She was fielding over a dozen dinner invitations a day. A twenty-seven-year-old professor at Kingsford was a massive disruption to the industry's status quo.
Raelynn checked the calendar, her face lighting up with genuine excitement. "I'll be waiting for you."
The thought of finalizing her divorce and officially updating Lily's legal guardianship gave her a massive rush of endorphins.
Hearing the joy in her voice, Ian could practically picture her smiling.
"The Hudson Resort is hosting its grand opening gala this weekend," Ian said. "If you're up for it, I'd love to combine it with a celebration banquet for you. Consider it a toast to you finally becoming Lily's legal mother."
Raelynn paused, thinking of Matilda Croix's relentless attempts to organize a party.
If she let Ian host it, she would completely sever the Croix family's ability to capitalize on her success. It would be the ultimate public declaration of her independence.
"If it's not too much trouble for you, I'd love that," Raelynn agreed.
"Honestly, the Hudson family is the one benefiting here," Ian replied smoothly, making sure she didn't feel indebted. "Having you there brings excellent PR to the resort. I'm the one cashing in."

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!...
