Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 599

Disbelief washed over her.

Giving way to absolute shock.

Desperately searching her memories, she tried to recall if Sebastian had ever rejected her this ruthlessly before. Everything felt blurry, plunging her into a spiral of self-doubt.

She wondered if she was just overthinking things.

Her grip on the phone tightened involuntarily.

Silas Vance had explicitly called her, ordering her to bring Sebastian home to help smooth over the company's recent implosion.

These weren't minor hiccups.

The accounting scandals, the disastrous operational shifts, the severed partnerships.

They desperately needed Sebastian's influence to survive.

Perhaps.

He really was just too swamped with work.

And it wasn't a rejection at all.

Taking a deep, stabilizing breath, Seraphina turned to head back to the restaurant.

But the moment she spun around, she collided hard into a man's chest.

Recognizing Cameron, her expression instantly turned icy. Frustrated and on edge because of Sebastian, she spat out venomously, "Get out of my way."

Cameron smirked at her hostility. "Look at you, already playing the high-and-mighty Mrs. Croix."

Talking to him like that.

She didn't want to waste her breath on him.

She tried to step around.

But Cameron roughly grabbed her arm and dragged her forcefully toward the adjacent restrooms. Kicking the door shut, he shoved her hard against the tiled wall, crowding into her space and pinching her jaw.

It was a thoroughly degrading hold.

"Why are you playing hard to get? You practically threw yourself at me just to get close to my brother, didn't you?"

Seraphina's face drained of color as Cameron's free hand drifted down to her waist, inching lower.

"I suggest you stop right there," she warned sharply. "If Sebastian finds out, he'll tear you apart!"

That night... it hadn't been Sebastian...

No wonder.

No wonder no matter how wild she got, "Sebastian" hadn't reciprocated her enthusiasm.

Cameron had known she'd mistaken him in the dark and played along just to humiliate her.

Cameron laughed, lightly slapping her bloodless cheek. "It must have taken some serious scheming to hook a man like my brother. But you got sloppy. You let his affection go to your head. You flaunted it, parading around to make sure everyone knew you were his most prized possession. And in doing so, you became his softest, most vulnerable target. Honestly, I should thank you for seducing him."

Who in The Croix Family was truly content living under Sebastian's iron-fisted rule?

Their grandfather had unilaterally appointed Sebastian as the sole heir, effectively cutting everyone else out. But now, Cameron had struck gold.

That cold, ruthless, untouchable man—a man who didn't care for anyone, who was cruel even to his own wife—finally had a fatal flaw.

Seraphina.

The mere thought of leveraging her to crush Sebastian filled Cameron with an intoxicating thrill.

In an excellent mood, his thumb suggestively brushed over her trembling lips before he finally released her, shoving his hands in his pockets as he casually strolled out.
