Chloe was also somewhat in disbelief when she heard it. "Planning a solo program for Seraphina Vance?"
Even A-list celebrities couldn't easily secure such a project. The manpower and resources behind it were not to be underestimated. Seraphina had only been active in the public eye for the past two years, gaining some fans through marketing and her pretty face. What qualifications did she have to carry a show alone?
Seraphina quite enjoyed seeing the shock on Chloe and Raelynn's faces. It proved she possessed things Raelynn could never obtain.
She smiled. "Yes. To tell you the truth, I've recently been participating in key national medical projects at Kingsford Medical University and various other medical schools. Kingsford University bears the heavy responsibility of gathering top medical research teams from across the country, and the later stages are also crucial. If my program can gain momentum, it can also attract investment for the school, which is a highly profitable endeavor."
Raelynn instantly understood. Sebastian was paving the way for Seraphina. He was adding weight to Seraphina's chances of eventually entering the National Academy of Traditional Medicine. Bringing attention to this key medical project at Kingsford University would also serve as a major achievement for Seraphina.
Although top universities across the country shared the same research direction, the quotas for the National Academy were fixed and based on contributions and grades. Everyone still had to fight for them.
So they all had to show their unique skills. Even if Seraphina didn't stand out among a crowd of geniuses, Sebastian and his people could make up for her shortcomings.
But hadn't Leo Flynn already found out that Seraphina had deceived him?
Raelynn had clearly seen Leo's anger that day. She thought the two would have fallen out. What was the meaning of this now?
Chloe didn't expect her station to be tainted by this mess. Especially Seraphina's smiling expression. Even though she was suppressing her smugness, the way she occasionally cast side glances at Raelynn infuriated Chloe.
"If you don't have the ability to shine in your own profession, I guess you really have to resort to these underhanded tricks!" Chloe sneered.
Seraphina's smile faded slightly. "The real underhanded trick is relying on unknown methods to occupy a position that doesn't belong to you, delaying the studies and futures of the university's students."
Raelynn's ears rang. Her movements paused for a second.
Silas Vance and Blanche were also going to make an appearance? Performing the role of a harmonious and loving family?
Vance Corp. was Silas's company. They were trying to uplift Seraphina while simultaneously elevating the Vance family's status, promoting their industry, and bringing massive profits to the Vance family!
Raelynn couldn't face this completely undisturbed.
Back then, Silas Vance had seized the Winslow Antique Shop, cashing it out to inject funds into Vance Corp., allowing his business to skyrocket. He had fed off the Winslow family's blood. Yet, when he brought Seraphina and her mother into their home, he transferred shares to Seraphina, who had no blood relation to him, while tossing his own daughter into a remote countryside to fend for herself.

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!...
