Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 528

Seraphina's accusation exploded like a bomb.

It instantly obliterated the solemn, highly disciplined atmosphere of the symposium.

Professor Finch's face darkened. He let out a cold, sharp scoff but didn't rush to speak, waiting to see exactly how this suicidal performance would play out.

Raelynn honestly thought she was hearing things.

She had anticipated Seraphina would be a sore loser, but she never imagined the woman would actually try to publicly "expose" her for plagiarism.

Dr. Hayes frowned deeply. "On what grounds are you making this claim?"

The other high-ranking officials on the panel remained perfectly still, their expressions unreadable.

Clearly, the situation had just taken a catastrophic turn.

If Raelynn had actually committed academic fraud, being exposed in this specific room was equivalent to a public execution. Doing this in front of the nation's most powerful medical directors meant she would be blacklisted, prosecuted, and her life would be destroyed.

The realization sent a shockwave through the elite research teams from every university.

Many of them held their breath, terrified for the young professor.

Even Leo Flynn furrowed his brow. He shot a quick, measuring glance at Sebastian. Faced with his ex-wife's impending ruin, Sebastian remained completely motionless. He leaned back in his chair with aristocratic grace, legs casually crossed, watching the carnage unfold with the chilling detachment of a bored spectator.

He looked utterly, terrifyingly apathetic.

Seeing that, Leo turned back to Seraphina and said smoothly, "If there's genuine academic misconduct, it certainly cannot be tolerated."

Noticing Sebastian's total lack of concern for Raelynn's fate, Seraphina's confidence skyrocketed.

Professor Finch let out a dark laugh. "What exactly are you trying to say? Elaborate."

Having the legendary Professor Finch demand her input made Seraphina sit up even straighter. She shot Raelynn a look of profound, theatrical disappointment before projecting her voice across the room. "I am standing here today to formally report Raelynn Ortiz for academic fraud!"

"That's impossible! There has to be a misunderstanding!"

Sierra shot out of her chair, screaming her defense.

At the sound of her voice, Julian, who had been sitting with a heavy scowl, finally shot her a sharp look.

In an instant, frantic whispers erupted across the room.

The energy in the sprawling conference hall turned volatile and dangerous.

Raelynn, who had just been standing in the glorious center of attention, was suddenly the target of a witch hunt.

Yet, she didn't panic. She stared right back at Seraphina and asked flatly, "I committed academic fraud? I plagiarized? Who exactly did I plagiarize?"

Seeing Raelynn acting as though she had nothing to lose, Seraphina offered a chilling sneer. The woman was just putting up a brave front.

Once the evidence dropped today, Raelynn would be permanently excommunicated from the entire medical world!

She pointed a perfectly manicured finger directly at the massive projector screen behind Raelynn. "If I'm not mistaken, you plagiarized the early works of Professor Finch's very own protégé—Faye!"

With that single sentence.

The corner of Raelynn's mouth gave a violent twitch.

She was genuinely, completely blindsided by the sheer absurdity of it.

Even the furious Professor Finch sitting at the center table suddenly relaxed. The dark storm clouds vanished from his face, replaced by a look of deep, highly entertained amusement.

He casually picked up his teacup, blew on the hot surface, and settled in to watch the absolute circus unfold.

In the back row, Preston Moreno, who had bolted up in a blind rage, immediately sat back down.

The rest of the room, oblivious to the truth, grew suffocatingly tense.
