Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 453

Raelynn couldn't help but laugh. "You're too honest, Mr. Hudson."

Ian was quiet for a moment before his tone softened. "Think of it as celebrating your rebirth. Walking away from the wrong person is an achievement worth toasting."

Raelynn's smile faded slightly, replaced by a sense of quiet resolve.

He was right. She was taking her daughter and moving forward. She wasn't looking back.

With only three days until his return, Ian moved with ruthless efficiency.

That very evening, Raelynn received a detailed itinerary for the banquet at The Rosewood Manor, along with questions about her personal preferences for the event. She was surprised by the thoroughness but told him everything looked perfect.

A few minutes later, Chloe Hudson called.

"The Hudsons are throwing your victory party?!" Chloe screamed excitedly. "Oh my god, this is insane!"

Chloe was still stuck at the office editing footage when she heard the news and had to call immediately. If Chloe was this shocked, Raelynn could only imagine how the rest of high society would react.

"I figured, why not?" Raelynn said lightly.

She had her divorce certificate. She was a free woman. More importantly, letting Ian handle the event permanently killed Matilda's schemes. She knew firsthand how manipulative the Croix family could be; it was better to strike first.

Chloe was practically vibrating with excitement. "Yes! Keep those toxic leeches far away from you. Though, if the Croix family finds out, they're going to lose their minds."

Raelynn collapsed back onto her bed. "Let them."

The Hudson Resort was a massive, government-backed project three years in the making. The upcoming grand opening was already the most anticipated event of the season.

But then, a new rumor began to spread like wildfire.

When Matilda Croix heard that the Hudsons were hosting Raelynn's celebration, she was livid.

Right as the words left her mouth, the elderly butler walked in holding a gold-embossed envelope. "Madam, this just arrived... from the Hudson family."

Matilda snatched it. It was a formal invitation, cordially inviting them to The Rosewood Manor on the 8th for a celebration banquet honoring Ms. Raelynn Ortiz.

She felt the blood rush to her head.

They actually dared to send an invitation? Knowing full well Raelynn was still practically a Croix?

Sebastian stared coldly at the envelope. Without a doubt, Ian had sent it personally. Whether it was a deliberate provocation didn't really matter.

He stood up slowly, adjusting his cuffs with elegant precision, and checked his watch. "You didn't hesitate to publicly support Seraphina when it benefited you. The Hudsons are simply using the same tactic with Raelynn. The only difference is... they bet on the right horse."

Matilda's face twisted in horror.
