Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 520

After all this time, they needed some sort of reassurance.

Otherwise, with the way things were going, offending Cameron Croix and losing so many lucrative projects was a devastating blow from every angle.

Seraphina Vance pressed her lips into a thin line. "I'll handle this."

She didn't offer any specific details.

Silas Vance pressed the issue, "We still need to plan ahead. If you can't legitimately secure your position by his side right away, then we might have to resort to necessary measures."

As an elder, he couldn't explicitly spell out what those underhanded tactics entailed.

But he knew Seraphina understood exactly what he meant.

A hint of impatience crept into her voice. "I'm going to see Sebastian."

She ended the call.

Seraphina drove straight to Croix Holdings.

These few days were the critical turning point. Everything hinged on this moment. Raelynn Ortiz was being heavily protected by Kingsford University, and if The National Medical Research Symposium went smoothly, she would be elevated straight to the National Academy of Traditional Medicine. Seraphina had to find a way—and fast—to ensure Raelynn was ruined beyond repair.

She arrived at Croix Holdings.

Sebastian Croix was stuck in a board meeting.

Seraphina settled into his expansive office, pulled out her laptop, and continued editing her research paper.

As she worked, a thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Years ago, when Faye established her untouchable status in the medical community, the cornerstone of her success had been a series of groundbreaking papers that were practically textbook standards.

She searched for those old publications online.

Staring at the sheer brilliance of the work, Seraphina narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

She was so engrossed that she didn't even notice when Sebastian walked into the room.

He stepped up behind her desk.

His gaze landed on her laptop screen, taking in the dense medical journal article.

He noticed the author's name—Faye.

His dark eyes flicked over Seraphina's profile for a fleeting second.

Then, with chilling indifference, he looked away and continued walking into the room.

Startled, Seraphina instinctively snapped her laptop shut.

"Sebastian, are you done with your meeting?"

It was a massive, expensive upgrade.

The primary investor, naturally, was Croix Holdings, courtesy of Sebastian.

Sierra Yves ran over to her first thing in the morning, buzzing with excitement. "Professor Ortiz, you have to try these out! They are incredibly advanced. We don't have to bounce between three different labs for sample analysis anymore. Every single machine is practically an entire workstation in itself. The functionality is insane—you can connect it directly to your laptop for reports or virtual meetings. This is going to skyrocket our efficiency."

Raelynn walked over and tested the interface.

She plugged in her laptop to sync the systems.

Sierra was right; the convenience was absolutely game-changing.

No more exhausting trips across campus.

Raelynn couldn't even begin to guess how much this machinery cost, but she knew it was an astronomical figure.

"Isn't it amazing?" Sierra asked, her cheeks flushed with thrill as she affectionately stroked the side of Raelynn's terminal. Her eyes shone with anticipation for their future experiments.

Raelynn let out a soft laugh. "There's no problem in this world that money can't solve."

Even though this investment was solely meant to pave the way for Seraphina.

Raelynn was still going to reap the benefits of its practical, hard-hitting performance.

"Did you finish your paper, Professor Ortiz? We only have a few days left before The National Medical Research Symposium," Sierra asked, suddenly remembering the looming deadline.
