Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 497

Even a divorce had to be handled this way.

She couldn't take this anymore!

Raelynn forcibly suppressed the world-destroying emotions and said hoarsely, "Okay, I'll deal with it."

She dragged her heavy legs outside. Taking out her phone, her movements shaking uncontrollably from the sheer fury gripping her heart, her face remained expressionless as she went to dial Sebastian's number.

But the call didn't go through.

Another call came in first. No caller ID.

Raelynn answered it anyway.

Matilda Croix's voice came through. "Raelynn, the Croix family is hosting a gala tonight. You should be free, so come over. Attend as the Professor of Exceptional Merit of Kingsford University."

Listening to that voice, Raelynn didn't speak. She didn't even break down hysterically to demand why she hadn't been given a real divorce certificate. It was pointless now.

She felt nauseous.

Matilda was still speaking. "Grandma won't blame you for having the Hudson family host your celebration banquet. But many socialites are coming to the gala. You can meet contacts and win glory for the Croix family. It kills multiple birds with one stone. 7 PM, don't be late."

She felt like a doll placed in a display window, meant for people to admire and squeeze every drop of value from.

Raelynn tilted her head up, looking at the blinding sky. Her hand gripping the phone trembled, but her voice was eerily calm. "Alright."

The Matriarch was satisfied with her obedience. She knew Raelynn had just been temporarily confused before.

After ending the call, Raelynn got back into her car. There was still a ringing in her ears, but she felt she had never been as calm as she was right now.

She didn't want to ask 'why' anymore. She didn't want to compromise and 'beg' them to let her go either.
