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.
Since both were present, Matilda spotted them from a distance. She excused herself from the guests and walked over, specifically heading to Sebastian's side, urging him to walk over to Raelynn with her.
"You two link arms and walk in together in a moment."
Sebastian probably wasn't really listening to the old woman. He looked down at a message on his phone. His silent response—Raelynn actually understood what he meant. It was a rejection.
Coincidentally, from her angle, she managed to catch the key information on his phone screen. Seraphina was texting him, saying she was waiting for him outside.
Seraphina had come too, but hadn't entered.
Seeing Sebastian ignore her, the Matriarch instantly grew displeased. "For the public's sake today, just pay attention. Raelynn is here, look at her a bit more."
Saying this, the old lady seemed to have completely forgotten the incident at the restaurant, where Raelynn had talked back to her and Dr. Evelyn Hayes had backed Raelynn up.
She spoke to Raelynn affectionately again. "Don't worry, Grandma didn't let Seraphina come this time. The main focus today is you and Sebastian."

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!...
