Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 515

Leading the group were the very people they had just run into at the antique shop: Seraphina and Sebastian.

Walking beside them was a foreigner impeccably dressed in a tailored suit.

Raelynn felt a jolt of recognition. She stared at him for a few seconds before it clicked.

It was Leo Lombardi, the internationally renowned medical scholar and the top protégé of the esteemed Professor Robert from Harvard.

She knew Sebastian had unparalleled connections. For him to consider someone like Professor Robert—a titan in the medical field treated like royalty across the globe—a close friend was impressive. To have Robert lend his own student to help Seraphina build her portfolio proved just how deep that friendship ran.

Raelynn had no idea Leo Lombardi was even in the country, let alone taking private meetings.

Securing his time was nearly impossible.

Yet here was Sebastian, personally introducing him to Seraphina.

The intention was painfully obvious. He was bringing out the heavy artillery to ensure Seraphina secured the coveted spot representing Kingsford University. To pull that off, Seraphina needed to produce groundbreaking patents, minor publications, and a flawless academic thesis. Without the guidance of an industry heavyweight, she stood no chance.

Sebastian was literally paving her road to success with gold.

Having a globally recognized figure like Professor Robert's student mentor her meant completing her coursework and establishing her academic footing would be a walk in the park.

He was dead set on elevating Seraphina while simultaneously tearing Raelynn down from her hard-earned position.

A faint, mocking smile touched Raelynn's lips.

Her gaze must have been too sharp.

Because Sebastian suddenly looked up from the stairs.

Their eyes locked. His dark, fathomless gaze remained perfectly calm, betraying no emotion.

Seraphina murmured something to him, and he broke eye contact, a faint, indulgent curve touching his lips.

Chloe and Sierra witnessed the entire exchange.

Chloe muttered, disgusted. "He treats you like absolute garbage but acts so warm and gentle with her. Did you run over his dog in a past life or something?"

Sierra bit her lip, shooting Raelynn a deeply complicated look.

Raelynn just lowered her head and casually continued browsing the menu, looking entirely unfazed. "I'd kind of like to run him over in this life, too. It's a real shame murder is illegal."

Chloe was left speechless.

Raelynn grumbled affectionately. "Is that a compliment or an insult?"

"Just tweak a few minor details. I've left notes for you," he replied, ignoring her teasing. "Kingsford University is hosting a final academic seminar for this major project. This paper has more than enough weight to blow them away."

Alistair hummed knowingly, satisfied with her work.

Hearing his gruff satisfaction put Raelynn's mind at ease.

She hesitated for a moment before deciding to be honest with him. "What do you think of Ian Hudson?"

"A rare, outstanding young man."

"If I were to... get involved with him?"

"Did you two fall in love?" Alistair asked, his voice pitching up with excitement.

Raelynn quickly clarified. "No, no. It's just that there are some issues with Lily's registration. I might need to marry him to finalize her custody."

"Do you really think Mr. Hudson is just playing the Good Samaritan?"
