Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 609

Those words instantly snapped Blanche to attention.

She frowned deeply. "Raelynn is completely in the dark, which is why she isn't a threat to our plan. But that woman, Sylvia... she is definitely a much bigger risk."

Saying this.

Blanche let out a cold scoff. "The person who understands Lydia best might not be the husband who once loved her, but rather the woman who viewed her as a mentor, a friend, and a bitter rival. A woman who envied and resented Lydia would have terrifyingly sharp instincts."

Furthermore.

Sylvia would never want Lydia's biological daughter returning to threaten her own position.

Right now, Sylvia was their true enemy.

"Exactly. We almost wasted this golden opportunity on Raelynn," Seraphina breathed a sigh of relief.

"What was Mr. Croix's stance on this whole thing?" Blanche asked.

"Sebastian doesn't trust Raelynn either. He fully supported me seeking justice. I told her about Sebastian and me, so naturally, a woman as blindly in love with him as Raelynn would lose control and do something extreme."

If Raelynn had provoked her like that...

She would have lost her mind too.

She wouldn't have cared about the consequences.

Hearing that Sebastian now held a grudge against Raelynn—and that this grudge was cemented by Seraphina nearly losing her life—Blanche knew he would never forgive his ex-wife.

This put Blanche in an excellent mood.

But her face quickly turned serious again. "Let's focus on Sylvia. If we mess this up right at the finish line and ruin your future wealth and status, all our hard work will be for nothing."

If they could utterly ruin Sylvia and drag her down into the mud...

She had to admit, Sebastian's advice was spot on.

Sylvia looked harmless, kind, and gentle, but how could someone like that betray the very person who helped her? People like that were the hardest to deal with. She had been worried that once Seraphina entered the Yves family, she would be outplayed by Sylvia.

Seraphina fully understood what was at stake.

Her entire body still throbbed, the wound on her arm burning fiercely.

Yet, she threw the covers off and climbed out of bed. "Mom, Chairwoman Hayes and the others just returned to Kingsford. She holds too much power to be away for long. I need to go see her right now."

-

After parting ways with Walter, Raelynn thought things over.

After a long pause.

His voice came through, sounding even colder than before. "I assume you won't have the time."

Raelynn felt a spike of annoyance. Who was he to decide if she had time or not? How could he reject her request with such arrogant self-righteousness?

"Sebas—"

Beep, beep, beep.

He hung up.

He didn't even let her finish her sentence.

He clearly had absolutely no intention of discussing or negotiating with her.

It was a completely dictatorial move, leaving no room for argument.

Raelynn was understandably furious.

She glared at her phone in disbelief.

They were divorced, yet he still treated her the exact same way he did when they were married. The respect and patience she was denied as his wife was still being withheld from her now that they were strangers.
