Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 616

Quentin wanted to intervene, but the moment Dr. Hayes mentioned the beloved "Jo-Jo," his expression shifted. Whatever memory surfaced, it left his face awash in complex emotions, and he remained silent.

Sylvia looked as though all the strength had been drained from her body.

She completely forgot to defend herself.

This whole conflict was clearly between Raelynn and Seraphina, yet somehow, with dizzying speed, the crosshairs had locked onto her.

It was impossible to defend against.

She had absolutely zero time to react.

She couldn't fathom why things had escalated like this.

Watching everything unfold, Raelynn felt an indescribable knot of complicated emotions.

"Back then, the late Mrs. Yves suffered from an emotional illness and ultimately lost her life. Now, Sera almost went down the same tragic path. I raised Sera for years, and she is the absolute core of my heart. I won't stand by and let my child suffer such a massive injustice and trauma. We need a resolution," Blanche chimed in, seizing the opportunity to add weight to the scale.

Sylvia finally pressed her lips together and glanced at Blanche.

The two of them were old acquaintances, of course.

Back in the day, Blanche had always considered herself superior. Now, over twenty years later, she had bared her fangs to take a vicious bite out of her.

Her voice trembled with grief. "Blanche, why must you throw this dirty water on me? I have never done anything to offend you."

That statement left Blanche momentarily speechless.

Just as she was about to retort, Dr. Hayes waved off the bickering. She looked at Quentin, her eyes swimming with disappointment and resolve. "I let you come back because I felt I was getting older and might not have many days left. I wanted to see you before I passed, and I was willing to give you time to sort things out. Since she's lived abroad for so long, she can pack up and return to where she belongs after the New Year. Don't come back."

Sylvia's complexion finally drained completely. "Dr. Hayes..."

This meant she was being banished from the country all over again.

Dr. Hayes's blood pressure was spiking, but her stance remained ironclad.

She was setting things right.

If Seraphina truly was her biological granddaughter, she had an absolute obligation to protect her.

To protect Lydia's daughter on her behalf.

With that, she suddenly fixed her gaze on Sebastian.

"You've gone through a lot of trouble tonight, Sebastian. However, I have one question for you."

Sebastian sat up slightly. "Please."

Dr. Hayes stared at him with eyes that seemed to pierce through every facade. Her tone was sharp as a blade. "Did you orchestrate all of this today to get justice for Seraphina, or to clear the storm for Raelynn?"

The question landed without warning.

It was so aggressive that evasion was impossible.

Seraphina had been relishing her victory over Sylvia, but the moment she heard that question, a subconscious jolt of anxiety seized her chest.

Raelynn was also stunned.

Sebastian's dark eyes remained entirely unchanged.

He slowly lifted his gaze.
