Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 612

She shot Sylvia a dark, venomous look. "...there will be hell to pay!"

It wasn't an empty threat.

Raelynn had every intention of doing exactly that.

Once the inspection confirmed the car had been tampered with, she planned to go straight to the authorities. Attempted murder wasn't something to be swept under the rug. She was going to see this through to the bitter end.

She just hadn't expected Blanche to weaponize her intentions so perfectly in this moment.

Still, Blanche's words hung heavily in the room, draining the color from everyone's faces.

Even Quentin's frown deepened.

If this went public, the Yves family's darkest secrets would be broadcast to the world. It would turn them into a laughingstock. Worse, a scandal labeled as attempted murder would irreparably damage their legacy. Given his mother's esteemed position, the ensuing gossip would be relentless.

Even if Sylvia was completely innocent.

Dragging the family through a brutal, public legal battle in the name of justice would guarantee an ugly, uncontrollable fallout.

Most complicated of all, this was no longer just an internal family squabble.

It involved Raelynn, an outsider who had been carelessly dragged into their mess.

They could try to negotiate a quiet settlement with Seraphina and Blanche, avoiding police involvement entirely. But they had absolutely no right to demand that Raelynn sit down, shut up, and swallow the fact that she had been framed. She was entitled to clear her name.

As the tension thickened, Raelynn finally realized the exact role she was meant to play tonight.

Blanche and Seraphina must have convinced Dr. Hayes that she was involved, demanding she be brought in for a confrontation. But the moment she arrived, they weaponized her presence, using her as the ultimate leverage to definitively nail Sylvia as the culprit.

Knowing the Yves family would never allow a full-blown police investigation, Sylvia's actual guilt no longer mattered.

Innocent or not, the trap had been sprung, and she was going down for it.

Raelynn cast a cool, detached glance at the mother-daughter duo.

Seraphina hadn't even officially rejoined the family yet, and she was already orchestrating an all-out war against Sylvia. It was glaringly obvious that neither side would stop until the other was destroyed.

"Enough."

Dr. Hayes, who had remained silent throughout the explosive shouting match, spoke from her seat at the center of the room.

Her expression was anchored in absolute authority.

Everyone in this room deserved the truth.

Dr. Hayes's uncompromising stance caught Blanche and Seraphina off guard.

Was she really going to allow a full investigation?

If the truth came out, and it pointed away from Sylvia...

A surge of irritation spiked in Seraphina's chest. She hadn't expected the old woman to be so stubbornly righteous.

Seraphina's entire goal was to use this manufactured chaos to utterly crush Sylvia and strip her of her status in the Yves family.

But now...

Suddenly, the housekeeper stepped into the room to announce a late-night visitor.

The heavy oak doors swung open.

A tall, imposing figure strode in.
