Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 63

Raelynn looked at Sebastian's calm, almost ruthless features.

Even though the jacket draped over her was warm, she still couldn't stop the feeling that ice had seeped straight into her bones.

"You want me to be Seraphina's human shield? To put on a loving show for your benefit?"

So if she went back, it would save Seraphina from having to deal with Grandma's wrath?

Sebastian didn't deny it. "Isn't family harmony what you always wanted? Does the reason behind that harmony really matter?"

"I am not a stepping stone for your romance with Seraphina. I'm not going."

Raelynn fought to keep her tone steady.

She pulled his jacket off her shoulders and tossed it right back into his hands.

Turning on her heel, she marched into the hotel.

Expecting her to sacrifice herself to satisfy his need to protect Seraphina? Not a chance.

Sebastian turned slightly, watching Raelynn's retreating figure.

She had a lot more fire in her lately than she used to.

This kind of direct defiance was a first.

But still.

He didn't take it too seriously.

He knew she would go back.

-

Early the next morning.

Raelynn headed straight back to Kingsford.

The Imperial Topaz she had brought back from Banyan Hill Resort was immediately shipped off to Seaport City.

She had squeezed an exorbitant hundred million out of Sebastian for it, and the victory felt incredibly satisfying.

As for the Croix family gathering.

She truly had no intention of going.

Matilda Croix already knew she was going to divorce Sebastian, so there was no point in putting on an act. If Sebastian was worried about Seraphina getting a hard time, that was his problem. He could figure it out himself.

At first, the pain in Raelynn's lower back had just felt like a bad bruise.

But then the ache began to spread.

"You went to Banyan Hill Resort, had a run-in with Seraphina, and someone snapped a misleading photo and posted it on social media. They're saying you intentionally assaulted her, and they're also saying..." Preston's eyes grew cold. "Saying you're a homewrecker trying to steal her boyfriend and take her place."

And Sebastian's identity and face hadn't been leaked even a tiny bit.

After all, no one dared to leak Sebastian's personal information.

He got to stay perfectly hidden!

Preston was so furious he almost laughed.

Talk about pointing the finger at the victim!

"Where's the post?" Raelynn frowned.

Preston shook his head. "It blew up for half an hour, and then it was deleted."

Probably because they were afraid Raelynn would sue for defamation.

But half an hour was more than enough time for the damage to be done. Seraphina was a minor celebrity in the medical field with over a million followers across her social media platforms. Plenty of people had caught wind of the scandal through the trending tags.

The timing was absolutely perfect.

It guaranteed the rumors of Raelynn being a mistress spread like wildfire, but it was deleted fast enough that she had absolutely no grounds to sue.
