Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 617
Dr. Hayes's question was far too piercing to brush off or pivot away from.
Yet Sebastian's expression didn't shift in the slightest as he met the older woman's eyes.
Raelynn stood there, momentarily frozen.
She couldn't help but feel that... this question was essentially a form of self-humiliation.
Over this extended period, she had gathered enough concrete answers through countless events and subtle details. She didn't need anyone else to pry a confession out of him on her behalf.
Everyone in the room was well aware of her past relationship with Sebastian.
As a result, the atmosphere—which had just been crackling with hostility—took another sharp turn.
Seraphina instinctively frowned. Was that even a question?
The silence dragged out, thickening the tension.
But Sebastian, the man in the hot seat, remained utterly unhurried and unfazed, as if he already held an absolute truth in his heart and felt no need to feign contemplation.
Just as his lips parted to speak, Raelynn suddenly turned to Dr. Hayes. "Mr. Croix and I have completely settled our emotional baggage," she said earnestly. "He's putting all his effort into helping Seraphina eliminate future threats because he cares about her safety above all else. I have enough self-awareness to recognize that. Even if he had other thoughts..."
She curved her lips into a faint, dismissive smile. "...it has nothing to do with me."
She didn't care.
She wasn't interested.
And she absolutely did not need her ex-husband's so-called pity.
Raelynn chose to speak those difficult truths in Sebastian's place.
After all, they were in front of the Yves family.
Seraphina was on the verge of officially becoming the heiress of this household. If Sebastian explicitly admitted that he felt zero sympathy for his ex-wife, it would paint him as a ruthless, heartless man.
That image wouldn't do him any favors either.
And she wasn't about to wait around for Sebastian to publicly deny her.
She might as well take control of the narrative herself.
She was blatantly kicking them out.
Sylvia desperately wanted to say something, but she couldn't find the words.
The night's disaster was completely unforeseen. The scandal had absolutely nothing to do with her, yet it had aggressively U-turned and smashed right into her face. There was nowhere to hide.
The matriarch had made up her mind to banish her abroad once again.
This outcome was catastrophic.
It meant a complete, permanent severance from the Yves family.
Her twenty years of unwavering dedication had amounted to absolutely nothing.
She couldn't accept it.
Noticing Sylvia's devastation, Blanche felt a rush of absolute glee.
This woman had taken a massive fall today. The status and power she had been inches away from grabbing had evaporated, and she would be exiled again after the holidays. If Sylvia wanted to preserve any shred of her luxurious lifestyle, she would have to tuck her tail between her legs and stay completely docile.

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!...
