Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 623

She was utterly uncompromising.

She looked like she was actively trying to scrape off a layer of toxic sludge.

Sebastian didn't get angry. He simply gave Quentin a slight nod. "We'll take our leave then."

He didn't bother arguing with Raelynn over whether she wanted the escort or not.

Raelynn knew the Yves family needed time to process the wreckage of the night.

After saying her goodbyes, she stepped outside.

She decided to crash at Professor Finch's place for the night.

With the truth finally out in the open, the battle lines were drawn.

She didn't need to play the avoidance game anymore.

The two houses were only a few hundred feet apart, just a quick walk down the road.

As she walked, she wondered what fate awaited Seraphina and the Vance family.

They had brazenly defrauded Dr. Hayes, and the counterfeit amulet was a nuclear bomb that completely eradicated any claim of innocence.

Dr. Hayes might not dirty her own hands to destroy Seraphina.

But since Seraphina was in the medical field, the matriarch could effortlessly annihilate her career. Seraphina's moral bankruptcy was now absolute; neither domestic nor international medical communities would ever touch her again.

Her years of grueling medical studies were completely up in smoke.

The Yves family's retaliation, however, was a whole different beast.

They would undoubtedly launch a scorched-earth campaign against the Vances.

The Vance family was going to be gutted from the inside out.

Raelynn paused her steps. If they had managed to commission such a flawless replica, it meant they knew exactly what the original looked like. Which meant they had to know where the real one was, right?

Growing up in the antique business, she had seen countless jade amulets that all looked virtually identical. She didn't really have a specific image in her head, as she wasn't sure what unique design details the Yves family's pendant possessed.

Deep in thought, she heard the unhurried crunch of footsteps behind her.

She turned around.

Sebastian's tall, imposing figure was strolling just two paces away.

He had just watched his beloved put on a spectacular freak show.

She got slapped in the face, completely humiliated, and thrown out like trash.

She had decisively made a mortal enemy of the Yves family and Dr. Hayes.

Even Raelynn, a complete outsider, could taste the absolute terror and agony Seraphina must be drowning in right now.

The fact that Sebastian wasn't rushing to her rescue felt incredibly ironic.

Sebastian maintained his leisurely pace, his expression as unreadable as ever. "Do I need my ex-wife to dictate how I interact with other women?"

His voice was perfectly level.

But the counterattack left Raelynn with zero leverage.

There was an invisible, suffocating tension crackling between them.

Even wrapped in the most polite vocabulary, it felt like a knife fight.

Raelynn wasn't about to back down. "Of course not. Your life has absolutely nothing to do with me. Trying to manage your affairs would be a tragic waste of my time. I just find it amusing. You marched in here tonight with lab reports, ready to act as her knight in shining armor, ready to prove Sylvia was a murderer and clear her path back to the Yves family. You charged into battle for her, only to discover she was playing you too. It seems she left a few crucial details out of her sob story. Your judgment in character is severely lacking, Mr. Croix."
