Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 553
Seraphina smoothly pulled the amulet from her dress, acting as if she genuinely believed Dr. Hayes simply admired the jewelry. She offered it generously, saying, "If you like it, you're welcome to hold onto it and admire it for a few days."
Anyone with half a brain knew that "admire it for a few days" was synonymous with offering it as a gift.
Dr. Hayes completely ignored the remark.
Upon seeing the full, unblemished jade amulet, her breathing grew erratic. Her eyes shook violently.
After more than two decades, she was seeing this pendant again.
This was the very same amulet she had spent three months praying and fasting for, begging the monks to carry it while chanting blessings, all before she had finally gifted it to her precious granddaughter.
And now...
Trembling, Dr. Hayes looked up at Seraphina's face. Suppressing the overwhelming surge of finding something long lost, she demanded harshly, "Where did you get this amulet?"
She was instinctively rejecting the glaring possibility standing right in front of her.
Seraphina rubbed her thumb over the jade and answered slowly, "I've worn this since I was a little girl. When I grew older, I was afraid I might chip or ruin it, so I kept it safely at home."
"Grandma?"
Julian hurried over. Noticing the matriarch seemed fine on the outside but was clearly in emotional distress, he moved to support her arm. Then, his gaze shifted to Seraphina.
And landed squarely on the jade.
His expression morphed instantly into one of utter shock. He stared at Seraphina's face, his eyes sharp and filled with disbelief.
Sebastian didn't approach the tight circle.
He stood slightly off to the side by a cocktail table, impassively watching the drama unfold like a spectator at a play.
Dr. Hayes's jaw tightened. "Impossible. This belonged to my granddaughter. How could it possibly be on you?"
He couldn't believe this jade was in Seraphina's possession. He could only take a deep breath to steady his racing heart.
Suddenly, Blanche stepped forward from behind. Her face was a picture of overwhelming guilt and helplessness. "Chairwoman Hayes, I know it's hard to believe right now. You might even think it's just a coincidence. But... this amulet truly belongs to the Yves family."
Every eye in the vicinity snapped toward her.
Even Seraphina looked utterly bewildered. "Mom? What are you talking about?"
Blanche grabbed her daughter's hand, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Dr. Hayes. "Because Sera is... the child Mrs. Yves took with her all those years ago."
Dr. Hayes swayed on her feet.
Her lips trembled uncontrollably at the revelation.
Julian's face turned instantly glacial. "Ms. Blanche, you had better be prepared to take responsibility for what you're saying! Everyone here knows exactly the kind of trouble Seraphina and the Vance family are in. If you're fabricating this lie just to save your own skins, the consequences will be more than you can bear!"

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!...
