Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 543

Raelynn's eyes crinkled with genuine amusement at his remark.

She knew Ian was purposefully making a joke to ease the tension.

But seeing it on his usually stern, meticulous face made it endearingly awkward.

She smiled. "Alright. Thanks."

Ian glanced down at her as they walked. "No trouble at all."

By the time they arrived.

Sebastian and Seraphina were already seated.

Today's meeting was specifically convened to address Seraphina's disciplinary actions.

Because of the severity of the allegations, the proceedings were drawing intense scrutiny.

Several of the university administrators present recognized Ian.

Chancellor Kirkwood even nodded a greeting to him.

Dr. Adrian Moreno had also made a point to attend personally for this matter.

When he walked through the door and saw Sebastian sitting right next to Seraphina, he suppressed a frown.

They hadn't split up yet?

Even after Seraphina had caused such a catastrophic mess.

He kept his thoughts to himself and took his seat.

Seraphina surveyed the room.

She didn't look the least bit panicked or out of her depth.

In fact, she felt entirely self-assured.

She was certain this whole ordeal would ultimately blow over.

As long as Kingsford University couldn't produce hard evidence, they couldn't uncover anything concrete, and Raelynn wouldn't be able to push the matter much further.

As for the plagiarism regarding the research paper...

As long as Sebastian stepped in and had a private chat with Leo Lombardi to smooth things over, it would all be quietly swept under the rug.

Raelynn's desperate attempt to drag her to hell was bound to fail.

No institution, domestic or international, would ever hire her again.

It was no different than being nailed to a cross of public shame!

The Vance family would also be dragged down with her. They were already drowning in a PR nightmare over the leaked audio; adding this to the fire would completely destroy them.

"I was framed! Whether it's the accusation of tampering or plagiarism, I am being set up! I implore the board to consider this carefully." Seraphina's face was rigid with panic.

She shot a cold, hateful glare at Raelynn.

She refused to believe Raelynn could actually touch her.

She sneered internally. Let's see you produce the evidence!

Ian observed the scene with perfect clarity.

Seraphina was only keeping her spine straight because she knew there was no concrete proof.

And then there was Sebastian, sitting beside her with pure aristocratic poise. From the moment they sat down, he hadn't shown a single reaction, hadn't interrupted, hadn't stated a position. His unhurried calmness clearly meant he was holding a winning hand.

Raelynn understood the grim reality of the situation as well.
