Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 561

Raelynn froze for a moment.

She never expected to be dragged into such a formal family matter between two powerhouse dynasties.

"Me?"

"This is a major event for both families," Evelyn explained. "You and Mr. Croix used to be married, and now you have the potential to develop a serious relationship with Ian's side. Right now, the connections are complicated, and public speculation will be rampant. Having you there will help ensure this engagement is dissolved smoothly and logically."

Things had escalated too far already.

She couldn't afford to wait for confirmation of Seraphina's identity. The news was spreading like wildfire, and the brewing scandal was unsightly. She had already decided to cancel the engagement, so it was best to deal with it swiftly.

Raelynn felt a wave of awkwardness, but she understood there was no backing out now.

She was already a player in this game, and she had to wade through the muddy waters.

She gave a small nod. "If you need me there, I'll go."

Even if it was just to secure Lily's legal registration, settling Ian's engagement with the Yves family early would ensure their own marriage plans wouldn't be derailed.

After writing the prescription for Evelyn.

Raelynn stayed for a bit longer before taking her leave.

She rubbed her temples, finding the entire situation utterly absurd.

Right on cue, Chloe Hudson called.

"What is the deal with Seraphina?" Chloe had clearly caught wind of the rumors and called in a panic. "How did she suddenly get tied to the Yves family? And how did she become my brother's fiancée?"

Wasn't this a complete disaster?

Raelynn frowned as she got into her car. "Yeah, quite the coincidence, isn't it?"

"Bullshit! There's no such thing as a coincidence like this. A woman like Blanche is hardly some deeply loyal, honorable saint. If returning the child meant gaining the maximum benefit and being treated like royalty by the Yves family, why wouldn't she do it?"

"Could it be that because Seraphina's reputation has completely tanked lately, Blanche is using her past connections to fake this whole identity?" Chloe asked.

Raelynn couldn't say for sure.

But Blanche was daring enough to agree to a DNA test and seemed incredibly confident.

Remembering something, Raelynn suddenly asked, "Do you know how the late Mrs. Yves passed away?"

Chloe thought for a moment before replying, "Even though I'm a bit sidelined in the Hudson family, I grew up hearing whispers since we're in-laws with the Yves. From what I heard, she suffered from manic depression. Her husband, Quentin, fell for someone else. Apparently, not long after Mrs. Yves ran away from the estate, her heartbreak drove her to drive her car into a lake and commit suicide. After that, the Yves heiress disappeared without a trace."

That was how she vaguely remembered the story.

"And the woman her husband, Quentin, fell for? She was a struggling student Mrs. Yves had sponsored for years. Mrs. Yves supported her, helped her find a job, and even brought her into the company—only to have the woman sleep with her husband..."

The more Chloe spoke, the angrier she got, her words dripping with pure disdain.

Raelynn hadn't expected the story to be so utterly tragic.
