The former chairman of the Croix family was known for being far more ruthless and unyielding. If this escalated to his grandfather, things would get incredibly messy.
At the mention of the old man's name, Sebastian finally lowered his gaze, concealing his thoughts. "Do as you wish," he said flatly.
Right on cue, his phone rang.
Matilda glanced at the screen. It was Seraphina.
Sebastian answered it right in front of her, making the older woman's blood boil.
Seraphina's voice came through, sounding slightly hoarse. "Sebastian, are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes. I am."
"The Vance family isn't doing well right now. We've lost a lot of partnerships, and things are looking grim. So... could I ask you to help make some introductions? There's a Charity Medical Gala tomorrow, and a lot of industry leaders will be there. We want to meet with a few CEOs."
She was asking for an entry ticket.
Sebastian pushed his glass aside. He glanced at Matilda, whose face had instantly darkened upon hearing the request, and calmly replied, "I can do that."
Seraphina's tense heart immediately relaxed. "Sebastian, I knew it. You're still as good to me as ever..."
"It's a small matter."
Ignoring the absolute shock on Matilda's face, Sebastian gave his grandmother a curt nod. "You should get some rest."
He turned and walked out while still on the phone, leaving Matilda fuming.
The Vance family... Seraphina...
None of them could be allowed to stick around!
Raelynn immediately raised her head toward the top of the grand staircase. Ian was standing there, having spotted her from a distance.
Surprised that he was attending, she offered a bright wave and started up the steps.
However, just as she moved, a car pulled up exactly where she had been standing seconds before. Hearing the engine, Raelynn instinctively glanced back.
Sebastian stepped out of the vehicle. With practiced chivalry, he walked around and opened the rear door.
Seraphina, currently drowning in scandal and public hatred, stepped out. Close behind her was Blanche, dressed in an elegant evening gown.
Raelynn's brow furrowed instantly.
For Sebastian to bring the highly controversial, universally despised Seraphina to such a public event... did he really care so little about the backlash hitting the Croix family?
Was he truly that blinded by love?

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!...
