Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 613
Raelynn wasn't the least bit surprised to see Sebastian Croix. In fact, it made perfect sense. When it came to anything concerning Seraphina, he always treated it like a matter of life and death.
Sebastian stepped into the room, his piercing gaze sweeping over the gathered crowd.
For a fraction of a second, his eyes locked with Raelynn's, lingering almost imperceptibly before moving on.
He turned his attention to Dr. Hayes and offered a polite nod. "Chairwoman Hayes, my apologies for the intrusion at such a late hour."
Dr. Hayes rubbed her throbbing temples, her sharp eyes fixing on him. "Mr. Croix. I assume you are also here regarding the car accident?"
The moment Seraphina spotted Sebastian, she practically sprinted toward him. Her path forced her to walk right past Raelynn, and she didn't miss the opportunity to shoot her a smug, sidelong glare as she breezed by.
Reaching him, she lifted her hand.
She fully intended to slip her arm intimately through his.
Sebastian either didn't notice or didn't care.
He didn't break his long, purposeful stride.
Right as her fingers brushed his sleeve, he moved past her, leaving her grasping at empty air.
The triumphant, adoring smile froze instantly on Seraphina's face.
Acknowledging Dr. Hayes with another slight nod, he stopped directly in front of the older woman. "The vehicle belongs to NexusMind Technologies. I looked into the exact mechanical failure on Raelynn's behalf, just to ensure we had all the facts straight."
The phrasing caught Raelynn off guard.
She shot him a bewildered look.
On her behalf? Not Seraphina's?
On the surface, the statement seemed innocent enough, but Raelynn couldn't ignore the subtle, deliberate shift in his allegiance.
Dr. Hayes paused, her gaze shifting thoughtfully from Sebastian's frustratingly calm demeanor to Raelynn. Finally, she nodded. "And what did you find, Mr. Croix?"
Sylvia's head snapped up.
Her face was still etched with profound misery.
"Did you find something, Sebastian?" Seraphina recovered quickly, rushing back to his side. She ruthlessly swallowed her embarrassment, determined to present a united front.
Sebastian pulled a printed report from his jacket.
Her soft features twisted in horror. "No... I swear I had nothing to do with this. I've lived with the guilt of what happened to Lydia every single day. I couldn't undo the past, but I prayed her child would be found so I could love her as my own! How could I ever try to kill her daughter?"
"People change! You ruined her life back then, so drop the saint act now!" Blanche spat, completely abandoning any pretense of civility.
If she didn't use this golden opportunity to destroy Sylvia, she might never get another chance.
Sylvia's lips trembled, but she didn't engage in a screaming match with Blanche. She simply lowered her head, her face ashen.
Quentin shot Blanche a warning glare. "Mrs. Vance, I understand you're upset, but we are still establishing the facts here. I suggest you watch your tone."
Blanche choked on her next insult.
She snapped her mouth shut, settling for glaring fiercely at Sylvia, who still refused to aggressively defend herself.
Raelynn's expression remained tight.
It was her company's vehicle on the line.
She had fully intended to oversee the inspection herself.
She hadn't anticipated Sebastian swooping in while she was at Dr. Hayes's house, expediting the entire forensic analysis, and showing up with irrefutable proof in hand.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
