Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 542
That singular sentence dragged the atmosphere straight into a powder keg.
Sebastian had a vicious tongue, but very few things could ever provoke him into showing true aggression. But right now...
"If it's compensation you want, Mr. Croix," Ian spoke up, "Lynnie and I will do our absolute best to give it to you."
As he spoke, Ian stepped right to Raelynn's side.
He reached out and gently took her wrist.
Though Raelynn felt a brief flash of awkwardness, she didn't let a single trace of it show.
She stood quietly beside him, offering no resistance.
The sight of them putting up a united front against him caused Sebastian's dark eyes to turn pitch-black. He stared at Ian's hand wrapped around Raelynn's wrist, his face a completely blank mask.
They looked just like a pair of tragic, star-crossed lovers.
It was laughable, really, as if they were begging him to let them finally be together.
The blazing sun overhead seemed to warp the very air, baking everyone beneath it.
Yet, the atmosphere felt as though it was pierced by freezing ice.
Sebastian's gaze finally shifted back to Raelynn's face.
The look in his eyes sent a violent shiver racing down her spine.
He wasn't actively raging. He wasn't yelling or cursing.
Raelynn couldn't even begin to decipher what was running through his mind, nor could she guess how he felt about Ian's cruel, brutally naked 'truth' that had just shattered his suspicions about Lily being his daughter.
But in this moment.
She felt there was absolutely nothing wrong with this outcome.
They were divorced. It was time for them to live their separate lives.
It was best not to leave even a shred of lingering attachment.
She knew that by deciding to enter an arranged marriage with Ian, telling Sebastian the truth about Lily wouldn't have been entirely unmanageable. After all, the custody relinquishment agreement she had quietly drawn up—but never showed him—was already in effect.
But she...
She didn't want to leave him with even the slightest glimmer of hope.
She wanted absolutely zero entanglements with him moving forward.
Of course.
She was also hyper-aware that Sebastian would never be heartbroken over Ian's words. He didn't care about her in the slightest, so there was no way he could harbor any desperate feelings of loss.
Seraphina felt genuinely embarrassed for Raelynn's behavior.
Facing such shameless arrogance, Raelynn scoffed, opening her mouth to fire back.
Ian glanced over. "I've caught up on the situation."
He shifted his gaze to Sebastian. "Mr. Croix, some bad investments are just a lost cause. This particular asset seems to be ruining your flawless track record."
A bad investment...
Was he talking about her?
Seraphina's expression morphed instantly, looking as though she had just been violently slapped across the face.
Sebastian, however, remained completely unfazed. "Thanks for the reminder. I know exactly what I'm doing."
He turned, leading Seraphina toward the main building.
Raelynn's tightly strung nerves finally began to relax.
Ian looked down at her. "I'll go in with you."
A small smile touched his lips. "Two on two. I won't let you be at a disadvantage."

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!...
