Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 488

Raelynn knew perfectly well that to survive in society, being magnanimous and letting things slide at the right moments usually made life smoother and improved interpersonal relationships.

But she simply refused.

After all, every single thing Leo had done and said in the past had caused her real harm.

She would not minimize the impact of his venomous words.

Especially during those early days when she was first trying to divorce Sebastian.

The blatant favoritism these so-called friends showed toward Seraphina, the sharp daggers they thrust at her—it had genuinely hurt.

So.

Raelynn stared fixedly at Leo. "You need to admit exactly what you did wrong."

For a privileged heir like Leo, this was no simple task.

But that was Leo's problem.

Leo met her calm, unforgiving eyes.

His throat tightened.

A suffocating wave of shame washed over him.

It wasn't just the discomfort of having to apologize; it was the agonizing realization of every idiotic thing he had done.

The old man hadn't expected their history to be this hostile.

He slammed his hand hard against the table. "Open your mouth!"

Cold sweat beaded on Leo's forehead.

Looking at Raelynn and recalling his past actions, he forced the words through his teeth, his face pale and sickly. "...I was completely in the dark about all of that. I apologize."

A raging fury of being played for a fool surged straight to his head.

The moment the words left his mouth, he spun around with a dark scowl and stormed out of the room.

He never should have been this humiliated.

Seraphina was the cause of all this.

By now, he was absolutely certain that she had been deliberately misleading and manipulating him.

Looking back on it.

Over the past few months, he had lost millions of dollars, been demoted, exiled, and suffered massive losses—all because of Seraphina.

Before making the investment, he had actually asked Sebastian for his opinion.

"Where's that bastard?" the old man asked.

Sebastian took his seat, his dark eyes unreadable. "I'm not sure."

The old man decided to drop it, feeling only more guilty toward Raelynn.

The fish was served.

Raelynn savored the meal, genuinely thanking Mr. Flynn Sr. for his hospitality.

Although the old man didn't know exactly what else had transpired, he told her, "No matter what Leo did, consider it as Grandpa owing you two favors. If you ever need anything, just come to me."

Raelynn thanked him.

When they stepped outside.

It was raining again.

The old man glanced at Sebastian, who was replying to emails, and simply said, "Sebastian, why don't you drive Raelynn back? She took a cab up here, and there aren't any available cars at The Pike & Perch right now. It won't be out of your way, will it?"

Sebastian seemed to hesitate for a second before nodding. "It's fine."

Thinking about the long, torturous drive down the mountain and back to the city, Raelynn instinctively refused. "There's no need. I'll just call a—"

"Get in." Sebastian was already standing by his car. He pulled open the passenger door and turned to look at her.
