Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 554

"Furthermore," Julian continued, "if you've known everything this whole time, why did you stay completely silent until now?"

His heart was hammering against his ribs.

It made no sense. Finding his long-lost sister should have filled him with absolute ecstasy. Yet, upon hearing that Seraphina was his sister, his very first instinct was a profound, inexplicable repulsion.

This jarring clash of emotions made his expression darken drastically.

Sebastian finally spared Julian a brief, calculated glance. After studying him thoughtfully for a moment, he slowly set his champagne glass down.

Blanche stepped forward, weeping dramatically. "I swear I'm not lying!"

She pulled Seraphina forward. "I actually have a history with the Yves family. My father, Chester Bain, worked as a butler for the Yves household for five years. He was one of your staff. You can easily verify this."

Dr. Hayes's mind raced backward.

Her memory had always been impeccable. The Yves family did indeed employ a butler named Chester Bain.

Wiping away her tears, Blanche pressed on. "I never meant to hide this! Back then, I lived at the Yves estate with my father for a few years. That's how I met Mrs. Yves, and we eventually became friends. I never wanted to bring up this hidden past... but we have nowhere left to turn. I came to see you, Chairwoman Hayes, to beg you to save the Yves family's own flesh and blood!"

Hearing those words, Raelynn's expression tightened, her lips pressing into a hard line.

The "nowhere left to turn" Blanche was crying about was a direct result of Raelynn's actions.

Seraphina stared at her mother in sheer disbelief. "Mom? What does this mean? I'm not your..."

It was a calculated move designed to instantly drive a wedge between Raelynn and Dr. Hayes.

Dr. Hayes took a deep, steadying breath. She glared down at Blanche with piercing eyes. "Even with your elaborate story, this requires a scientific DNA test to confirm the relationship with the Yves family. As of right now, I am giving you no answers."

Blanche didn't flinch. "Everything I've said will stand up to any investigation. As for the DNA test, Sera is more than willing to cooperate."

She wiped at her eyes again. "If it weren't for everything happening lately, I would have protected her as my own daughter for the rest of my life. I was only trying to protect Mrs. Yves's little girl..."

The entire situation had spiraled far beyond anyone's expectations. The surrounding crowd was buzzing with shock.

Just then, Sierra, who had been completely silent, suddenly murmured aloud, "Doesn't that mean... Ms. Vance and Mr. Hudson are the ones who actually have a legitimate marriage contract?"
