Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 524

Raelynn was furious.

At the end of the day, it all traced back to him.

If Sebastian and Leo Flynn hadn't built this massive, shining stage for Seraphina, the Vance family wouldn't have the audacity to parade their lies right in her face. He was the one feeding their relentless arrogance.

If he refused to return the property.

Then she would take him to court. Why wouldn't she?

She had long stopped caring about maintaining any sense of civility.

Her voice dripped with raw, unbridled anger, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.

She was willing to burn every bridge between them and drag him through a legal bloodbath just to get her family's legacy back.

Yet, the line remained dead silent.

Raelynn pressed her lips together, fighting to keep her suffocating frustration in check. "Sebastian?"

Still nothing.

Assuming he understood her threat, she moved to pull the phone away from her ear.

A sharp beep echoed from the speaker.

Sebastian had hung up first.

He offered zero response to her demands and completely ignored her fury.

Raelynn stared at the "Call Ended" screen in disbelief.

Honestly, she shouldn't have been surprised. Their relationship had shattered so completely that there wasn't a shred of decency left between them.

She didn't care if he took her threat seriously or not.

Her stance was absolute.

With her current standing, hiring a top-tier legal team wouldn't be difficult.

She had the time and the resources to bleed him dry in court.

She was getting her divorce, and she was getting her shop back!

Raelynn closed her eyes, taking a deep, grounding breath.

She tossed her phone aside and forced herself to refocus on her work.

It didn't matter anymore. She was marrying Ian Hudson. Once she had that marriage certificate to secure Lily's custody, she would have absolutely nothing left to lose. She was ready to risk it all.

For this symposium, a massive joint committee of university professors and top-tier medical directors would be reviewing the submissions.

Every elite research team that traveled to the capital had submitted their academic papers.

They would be rigorously graded and ranked.

This ranking was one of the strict prerequisites to be selected for the final national research coalition.

More importantly, it was the golden ticket into the National Academy of Traditional Medicine, guaranteeing a lifelong, prestigious position.

Playing the part of the perfect outsider, Raelynn watched the highly publicized, sickeningly sweet display from afar. She felt absolutely nothing.

From the second car, Julian and Leo Flynn stepped out.

Sierra's eyes lit up the moment she saw Julian. She offered him a shy, hopeful wave.

Julian glanced in their direction.

His eyes lingered on Raelynn for a fraction of a second.

Then he looked at Sierra.

He gave zero acknowledgment.

Without a word, he turned and strode straight into the venue.

Seeing that brutal dismissal, Sierra's shoulders slumped, her excitement instantly deflating.

Raelynn watched the exchange, thoroughly confused.

Weren't their families closely related? Why was the tension so awful?

Despite her curiosity, Raelynn didn't press the issue. She simply nudged Sierra forward and asked softly, "How is your heart feeling?"

Sierra immediately forced a bright smile back onto her face. "So much better! I'm used to it. After some meds, I'm strong as an ox again."

Raelynn could only marvel at the girl's relentless optimism.

"I know I probably don't have a shot today, Professor Ortiz, but your paper is definitely going to blow everyone away, right?" Sierra asked, her boundless energy returning.
