Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 465

Leo was clearly here to beg for a favor. Hearing her blunt rejection, he froze, his face shifting into a mask of pure shock.

Uninterested in wasting another breath on him, Raelynn looked away, her gaze drifting toward the direction Ian had gone.

Leo had anticipated that Raelynn might give him some attitude, but her sheer dismissal still made his blood boil. Grinding his teeth, he snapped, "Fine, even if you won't do me this favor, you still have to manage the mess with the Croix family, don't you? Just go back and tell Cameron that you and Seb are solid. Clear things up for Sera, and we can all have some peace."

In Leo's mind, even if it didn't solve the problem permanently, it would at least buy them some temporary quiet.

Raelynn felt like she was genuinely discovering new depths of human stupidity. A scoff escaped her lips. "Why don't you go tell Cameron that you're actually Seraphina's lover, and Sebastian is just taking the heat for you? To keep the peace, you'd be willing to graciously hand Seraphina back to him. Wouldn't that be a much better story?"

Leo's face turned a dangerous shade of purple. The fact that she had managed to verbally eviscerate him without a single curse word left him suffocating on his own rage.

Raelynn ignored him completely, shifting her injured foot and leaning further away from him, half-afraid his sheer idiocy might be contagious.

Fortunately, the drama in the side lounge hadn't spilled over. The government officials were steadily arriving in the main hall, blissfully unaware of the conflict.

As the secondary guest of honor for the night, Raelynn quickly drew a crowd. People flocked to greet her, eager to rub elbows with the legendary Professor of Exceptional Merit. She expertly navigated through two rounds of networking before finally finding Ian to tell him she needed to leave due to her ankle.

She had fulfilled her social obligations and given the Hudson family the prestige they needed; the gala was a resounding success.

Ian offered to drive her home.

"No, tonight is the grand opening for Rosewood, you can't leave yet," Raelynn insisted. "I'll ride back with Chloe."
