As she spoke, she smiled confidently.
"Therefore, I am applying to use my patent and short paper to take the lead and compete against the research teams from other universities."
She was proud of this point.
To have progressed this fast in such a short time, if she got the results, it would win glory for Kingsford University.
Adrian would naturally value her highly.
Adrian glanced at her. "You're already halfway done?"
Seraphina smiled sweetly. "Yes, I'm quite thoroughly prepared."
Her efficiency and progress could be considered second to none.
She didn't believe anyone was faster than her.
Adrian closed the data analysis. "That's good."
"However, the representative for Kingsford University has already been chosen. Raelynn's patent and short paper are fully finalized and will be used to compete. Your patent and short paper can be analyzed internally when the time comes."
The curve of Seraphina's lips froze. "What?"
Her highly anticipated opportunity to represent Kingsford University was stolen by Raelynn?
How could Raelynn possibly have the ability to develop a patent? Furthermore, when did she write a short paper?
Who was giving Raelynn special treatment?!
So many universities hadn't even produced a single patent from their teams. How could Raelynn accomplish something so difficult?!
Sebastian also raised his eyes slightly, glancing at Raelynn.
To this.
Raelynn had no intention of explaining anything to Seraphina.
Patents?
The last thing she lacked was patents.
Coincidentally, she had ones related to neurological medicine.
She was herself. Could Raelynn even compare to her?
She had the actual strength to meet the requirements. Other than getting lucky, how could Raelynn possibly be mentioned in the same breath as her?
But this was a rare opportunity. If successful, it would be a beautiful addition to her resume for the rest of her life, a crucial link to a bright future. Naturally, Seraphina was unwilling to accept Raelynn intercepting it.
"This was decided by the school administration. Students are students, projects are projects. In the end, this project aims to benefit patients. Whoever has the ability to make a breakthrough is the one who steps up," Adrian finalized.
Raelynn didn't interject.
After all, when something was already set in stone, there was no need for a verbal dispute.
Everyone thought the matter was settled.
Suddenly.
A man's cold, deep voice slowly drifted over. "Raelynn is a professor. Competing with students for opportunities—isn't that somewhat inappropriate?"
Raelynn tightened her grip on her notebook and looked over.
Sebastian, who had stayed out of the matter until now, spoke slowly. His features were cold, but he didn't look at her; he addressed Adrian directly. "I can invest an additional hundred million dollars for all the equipment and experimental resources required in the later stages of this project. If your university is willing, I want the spot representing Kingsford University to be given to Seraphina."

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!...
